Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 165

Elsewhere.

Darryl fell into a long dream while he was unconscious. He was being chased in his dream, and h e could not stop running. Eventually, he slowly opened his eyes.

Darryl was greeted by the sight of a luxurious bedroom.

"Darryl, you're awake?"

Darryl heard a cheerful voice. Lily's eyes were red as if she was crying.

"Honey, why are your eyes so red?" asked Darryl with a smile. "Were you worried that something had happened to me? Come, give me a hug."

Darryl's forced a pained smile. Even though his wounds have been tended to, they still stung.

‘Damn it. I can’t believe I got shot twice a few days apart,’ Darryl thought to himself.

Lily blushed and backed away shyly. "I... I wasn't worried about you. I didn’t even cry!"

Lily refused to reveal her true feelings even at that moment.

The doctor mentioned that Darryl's injuries were severe. The bullet was close to hitting his heart.

Thankfully, he had finally awakened.

"Darryl, I know what happened then. You and Dax saved us all," Lily whispered. "You... You were really manly, but how could you be so dumb? Those robbers had guns. What if something were to happen to you?" Although Lily was moved by his actions, there was still some guilt in her tone.

Lily's voice grew softer, feeling even more bashful.

Darryl looked at Lily with a smile and consoled her." Dummy, nothing's gonna happen to me. Besides, you're my wife. Even if I had to sacrifice my life to save you in that situation, I would still do it." 1

Lily felt warmth and affection in her heart.

"Where is this place?" Darryl clenched his teeth as he sat up on the bed.

This place was so luxuriously decorated. It could not have been the Lyndon residence.

"This is Dax's house. His private doctor treated you," Lily explained.

Darryl nodded his head. Dax was indeed a reliable comrade.

"Where's Dax?” Darryl inquired.
