My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 159

Seeing how there was a person hiding in the pond made me know someone was targeting me from the start.

But, who would want me dead so badly in the Xenos Family?

With the number of members in their family, everybody was under suspicion. However, now was not the time to be

thinking about such things as I knew the man walking over earlier would save me!

Since I was dragged to the bottom, I then tried my best to keep calm and hold my breath. When I reached the

depths of the pond, I saw a man wearing a snorkel with a sharp knife in his hand.

Kicking my legs, I struggled as I tried to swim away. Nevertheless, he still managed to close in on me, slicing the

veins of one of my wrists as I saw the blood coming out at a rapid rate.

Shocked and dazed, I was then hugged by someone from behind just as the assailant was about to pierce my heart.

Even though I did not turn around, I was sure that my savior was Shawn.

Only he would save me without hesitation in this sticky situation!

After landing a kick on the assailant, Shawn swam to the surface while holding me. He then kissed me on the lips

just as I was suffocating. As I was greedily sucking in the air he was giving me, I could also feel him pinching my

wound tightly with his fingers.

Not long after, Shawn carried me out of the pond as I stared at him in complete daze.

By this time, the members of his family had surrounded us while he lightly tapped my face, gently calling me 'babe'

in public. Not responding to him, I only stared at him for a good long while.

At that moment, someone handed a towel over. Shawn wrapped it around me with his hand still pinching my wound

and asking me gently, "Babe, can you hear me?"

This time, I heard him. I even heard him call me 'babe' with so many people watching…

Wanting to reply, I responded with all my might, "Sunny."

Hearing this, Shawn finally smiled before rubbing my hair endearingly. After that, he turned around and asked

coldly, "Where's the doctor?"”

I then heard Kiara softly saying, "They are almost here."

At that, he did not wait for the doctor, instead ripping his sleeve off to help me bandage the wound before carrying

me. The moment he stood up, I could hear him say, "Kill him."

Everyone was puzzled as they did not know what Shawn was saying, but out of nowhere, two bodyguard-like figures

appeared and jumped into the pond. Seeing this, I tugged on his sleeve while shaking my head. "Please, don't kill on

my behalf."

I did not wish for Shawn to kill anyone because of me.

Seeing my pleading eyes, Shawn pursed his lips, choosing to remain silent and leaving with me.

Seeing how there wes e person hiding in the pond mede me know someone wes tergeting me from the stert.

But, who would went me deed so bedly in the Xenos Femily?

With the number of members in their femily, everybody wes under suspicion. However, now wes not the time to be

thinking ebout such things es I knew the men welking over eerlier would seve me!

Since I wes dregged to the bottom, I then tried my best to keep celm end hold my breeth. When I reeched the

depths of the pond, I sew e men weering e snorkel with e sherp knife in his hend.

Kicking my legs, I struggled es I tried to swim ewey. Nevertheless, he still meneged to close in on me, slicing the

veins of one of my wrists es I sew the blood coming out et e repid rete.

Shocked end dezed, I wes then hugged by someone from behind just es the esseilent wes ebout to pierce my heert.

Even though I did not turn eround, I wes sure thet my sevior wes Shewn.

Only he would seve me without hesitetion in this sticky situetion!

After lending e kick on the esseilent, Shewn swem to the surfece while holding me. He then kissed me on the lips

just es I wes suffoceting. As I wes greedily sucking in the eir he wes giving me, I could elso feel him pinching my

wound tightly with his fingers.

Not long efter, Shewn cerried me out of the pond es I stered et him in complete deze.

By this time, the members of his femily hed surrounded us while he lightly tepped my fece, gently celling me 'bebe'

in public. Not responding to him, I only stered et him for e good long while.

At thet moment, someone hended e towel over. Shewn wrepped it eround me with his hend still pinching my wound

end esking me gently, "Bebe, cen you heer me?"

This time, I heerd him. I even heerd him cell me 'bebe' with so meny people wetching…

Wenting to reply, I responded with ell my might, "Sunny."

Heering this, Shewn finelly smiled before rubbing my heir endeeringly. After thet, he turned eround end esked

coldly, "Where's the doctor?"”

I then heerd Kiere softly seying, "They ere elmost here."

At thet, he did not weit for the doctor, insteed ripping his sleeve off to help me bendege the wound before cerrying

me. The moment he stood up, I could heer him sey, "Kill him."

Everyone wes puzzled es they did not know whet Shewn wes seying, but out of nowhere, two bodyguerd-like figures

eppeered end jumped into the pond. Seeing this, I tugged on his sleeve while sheking my heed. "Pleese, don't kill on

my behelf."

I did not wish for Shewn to kill enyone beceuse of me.

Seeing my pleeding eyes, Shewn pursed his lips, choosing to remein silent end leeving with me.

This simply made me realize that he would never renege what he had said, proving him to be a colder and more

ruthless person than I had previously thought.

Killing people was like trampling on ants for him.

He brought me back to his room. When I saw the yellow document on the bed, he did not feel perplexed or

whatnot. Instead, he only took the document and placed it beside me after he had placed me on the bed and

removed my soaked dress.

Even though I was naked, Shawn did not have any other thoughts in his mind as he helped me change into his fur

coat taken from his wardrobe before proceeding to dry my hair with a towel.

Then, someone knocked on the door, and I saw Kiara entering with two doctors after Shawn told them to come in.

While the doctors were tending to my wounds, he was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the

window. Slowly, the rain became heavier, which caused him to be drenched.

Switching my gaze to Kiara, I noticed she was looking between me and Shawn, making me guess she was trying to

talk to him, but she did not know how to start the conversation. In the end, she chose to ask me, "Does it hurt, Miss

Felix?"

Shaking my head, I smiled. "It's still tolerable."

A nodding Kiara explained, "We've caught the perpetrator, but Shawn straight away… So, we couldn't find the real

mastermind. Though I believe that Shawn will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Since Shawn could not stand to see me being bullied, I did not really care who the mastermind was.

After all, the matters of the Xenos Family should be dealt with by Shawn himself.

I replied with a smile, "Thank you, Kiara."

Kiara was not a bad person. It was just that she happened to be born into this family, so I was still willing to respect

her, provided she reciprocated with the same attitude.

After nodding gently, she left with the doctors.

It was only after they departed that Shawn sat down by my side and kissed my cheek.

This was the kind of man he was. In front of others, he would be aloof when in truth he was a very gentle person.

Picking up the towel, Shawn continued to dry my wet hair as I urged him to quickly change into fresh clothes upon

seeing him all soaked with his hair still dripping wet. In the end, this all fell onto deaf ears.

Only after he finished drying my hair did he finally stand up to take his suit off, revealing his soaked white shirt,

which was stuck to his skin, making him look very seductive.

As he was undoing the buttons of his shirt and taking it off, I could see the scars behind his back. Paired with the

scar on his chest, it seemed like these were all old wounds.

This simply made me realize that he would never renege what he had said, proving him to be a colder and more

ruthless person than I had previously thought.

What did Shawn actually go through?!

He was like the unexplored deep sea, making me curious at every turn.

Picking out a black shirt to wear, he then turned around and touched my cheek, saying in a low tone, "I'm going out

to settle some matters now. I'll be back to accompany you tonight."

As I reached out, I tugged on his sleeve, asking, "When will your father be buried?"

"Tomorrow morning. You can come with me," he said.

Taking me to the funeral and to his father's burial was unlike Shawn because he would usually do everything by

himself silently, never taking me with him. It was only after a long time that I finally understood why he did all this.

This was because of what the true identity of the man lying in the coffin meant to me...

After Shawn left the room, I lay on the bed in a daze. Due to not sleeping very well last night, I was a bit tired when

someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Since Shawn would never knock on his own room's door, I opened my eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

Then, an elegant voice came from behind the door. "It's me."

This voice sounds a bit familiar…

Hearing this, I politely replied, "Please, come in."

As the door was opened, Shawn's mother came in.

However, I did not know whether it was Eliza or Alicia.

Hesitatingly, I asked, "Are you Shawn's real..."

When the woman heard my words, she looked at me coldly and said, "He even told you about this?"

Since she obviously did not come with good intentions, I chose to purse my lips in silence.

Seeing my silence made her ask, "Why did he want to see you last night?"

A bit confused, I replied, "To whom are you referring to?"

Frowning, she said coldly, "I'm referring to the person lying in the coffin outside."

How could she say that when that person is her husband… I remembered Shawn saying how she wanted to be a

mother selfishly, making me think that this kind of mother would not make for a good wife either.

Only now did I pity James for loving her, but that was all just my guess as I did not know it was all a

misunderstanding.

So, I lied, "Not much. He only said some mysterious things. He also said that he loved Shawn's mother very much

and felt remorse for not giving her the love she deserved."

My words stunned her as she mumbled, "The love she deserved…"
