Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1123

Adrian looked concernedly at the woman lying in his arms whose eyes were closed and eyebrows were furrowed.

He frowned at her exposed skin above her breast and then wrapped her tightly with his suit jacket.

Back in his villa, the doctor said, "Master Xiao, she's unconscious because of extreme shock."

"Shock?" Adrian was a little surprised. He had thought that she was much more ill than that.

"Yes. I think she has some sort of trauma and it was triggered today. Her hand is alright. Don't stimulate her again."

"Okay, I see."

After the doctor left, Adrian carefully tucked the quilt around her. She seemed to be trapped in a dream.

"No, it's not me! Please believe me."

There was a layer of sweat on her forehead and she kept mumbling.

In her past life, Aleigha had been taken on too many times. Seeing Aubrie again set all those memories ablaze.

She felt like a drifting leave on the turbulent sea and suddenly she grabbed a wooden block.

When the storm finally subsided, she woke up.

"How are you feeling?"

Aleigha saw Adrian's close face and found her limps intertwined with his.

His shirt was crumpled by her and the spot before his chest was wet with her tears.

Adrian's warm hand patted her back gently. "It's just a nightmare."

"Sorry," Aleigha murmured.

She wanted to draw away from him, but his hands were tight around her waist.

"What did you dream of?" He wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes.

Adrian's cold face in the dream overlapped with his gentle face in front of her.

"Why it had to be you?"

She looked at Adrian with watery eyes, like a frightened little animal.

"Aleigha, tell me your secret, will you?"

"I beg of you for one thing."

"What?" Adrian felt so worried about her that he would almost say yes to any of her requests.

Adrian, I only want half of the money. Can you let me go?"

Adrian's expression changed. "You're that eager to leave me?"

"Yes, I saved you at the beginning just for money. Mr. Xiao, I know your injury hasn't fully recovered, but I must leave now."

"Aleigha!"

He would like to believe she was playing hard-to-get again as he used to believe, but he couldn't ignore the determination in her eyes.

"Adrian, give me the money and the franchise."

"Aleigha, who are you to bargain with me? " Adrian was fuming with anger.

"I didn't bargain. That's the price we agreed when I saved you."

"Well, as you wish."

Adrian threw her a cheque with the full amount of money written on it.

Aleigha met his eyes and saw the rage in them.

She had thought there would have been more argument before he gave up.
