Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

When Danae woke up, it was already evening.

The arm has red marks due to bandage entanglement, but fortunately it did not hurt the skin and would be eliminated in a day or two.

The clothes were also changed into clean nightgowns, and someone had bathed her.

However, her head was still dizzy and stomach was sick.

“Tell me what’s wrong.”

The sudden sound made her realize that there was a big living person sitting beside her bed.

Surplus eyes lifted, but also for a moment, and hung down the eyes, shook her head and did not speak.

In fact, she was not feeling well all over her body. But she was already hard to bear and did not even have the strength to speak.

Raymond took the thermometer out of the drawer and leaned close to her. The breath made her resist. She avoided and kept a distance from him.

“I am not ill.”

She didn’t need this and she didn’t need him.

“Danae, be quiet.”

When she was drowsy just now, her body was a little hot. She was a little week and was prone to colds and fever.

“What if I don’t?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Then would he send her to the hospital again and let those so－called doctors and nurses treat her to indirectly torture her?

“What did I do wrong? You had to punish me like this.”

Seeing her out of control, fear and bewilderment today, was he very superior?

He knew that those people were the ones she feared most.

“Or do you think I am sick and need treatment?”

Because, they need a healthy future grandson daughter－in－law.

So just let her suffer that kind of painful treatment.

Raymond eyes turned ruthless. He put the thermometer back in the drawer and said.

“Dane, don’t forget your identity.”

It was not that he spoiled her blindly and treated her well, so she could take it for granted to satirize and even spoil herself.

The girl lowered her head, grasped the sheet with her fingers and embedded it deeply in her palm. That’s right.

Don’t forget your identity.

How could she forget, how dare she forget?

“You are right. I overstepped it.”

She did not deserve to mock him as a puppet who was abandoned.

Even she looked down on her own.

(Knock)

After the knock on the door, it was Susan who came in with the newly cooked porridge and vaguely noticed the gloom of the atmosphere.

“I don’t want to eat.”

Before Susan could say anything, she had already opened her mouth first. She was tired. She was really tired.

She did not want to experience today’s nightmare anymore.

… …

At night, Henry came out after an operation and saw the woman still sitting on the garden bench and not leaving.

He bought hot coffee, sat down beside her and handed it to her.

“Don’t you go back yet?”

Joe didn’t answer, red lips were obviously bite marks, she snorted wryly：

“Ah… why he didn’t choose me?”

She just could not figure it out. She followed Raymond when she was 15 years old. At that time, he was nothing. He started from scratch, fought a fight and exchanged a sum of money.

In business, she strives to become his best leader and the most qualified woman to stand beside him.

But who could imagine that there were always so many accidents in this world?

Danae was the accident.

“Joe, you’re fine.”

Joe in his eyes, always was the first met appearance, stubborn indomitable, even if fragile also buried behind. She would always be the dazzling one when she exposed in front of the public.

Joe smiled and nodded. Well, she was fine.

“In fact, there was a problem that I had always wanted to know.”

This problem had puzzled her for a long time.

“What.”

“Why could he always find Danae so quickly every time when something happened?”

Did someone keep monitoring at her all the time.

Henry did not perform so much, but Joe could see that he knew why.

“Couldn’t you say?”

“… Danae had a tracker.”

Tracker?

Joe twisted her eyebrows. Danae couldn’t wear it at any time.

“To be exact, it was in the body.”

The next moment, the woman’s frown suddenly dazed. The tracker, was no longer on her body, but in her body.

With her blood.

… …

Two o’clock in the night.

She fell asleep in his arms.

In the dim light, Raymond kissed every inch of her skin, hugged her body and fondled every warmth.

It’s been a long time since he saw such a quiet but favorite night.

When the hot kiss fell on her finger, he rubbed the girl’s little thumb, where the scar was completely invisible.

“Does it still hurt?”

The man’s hoarse voice whirled in her ear. Danae slowly opened her eyes and looked at the thumb.

Was he asking there?

The smile of the little girl was bitter and helplessness. She shook her head－

“It has long since stopped hurting.”

It’s been six years, and it won’t hurt anymore.

Perhaps during the period when the minor operation was just over, as long as she was awake, the pain would make her cry.

But now, the little thumb was numb to her.

Well, six years ago, she was only a 12－year－old girl.

Because she was afraid of the terrible nights and the closeness of this man, she thought about running away.

To escape from Macaulay family, escape from the man who scared her at that time.

But she failed. Where could a 12－year－old girl escape?

Danae still remembered that at that time, she was hiding in the corner of the alley in the rain, thinking that she could be ignored as a beggar.

But he still found her.

He leaned over and squatted in front of himself, touching her wet face and hair, and the radian of her mouth was so cold as ice－

－My Danae, what should I do? You made me angry.

At that time, she did not know what the cost of making him angry was.

It was pain. People always said that ten fingers linked with heart. He let Henry gave her a minor operation.

To the tracker, the size of a silver needle, into her finger.

That night, she was almost dead in pain.

Blood was flowing, as if the soul would be separated from the body at the next moment.

It was also at that time that Danae fully recognized what she was.

Compared with Raymond, she was like an ant at all. In his hands, life and death were just his thought.

When did she begin to become what she was now, it was probably after that night?

“You don’t know about today, do you?”

She didn’t talk to him all night, but now Danae looked at him calmly and looked at each other.

“Uh－huh.”

“I knew that…”

She knew how Raymond could have been “cured”.

She never forgot that what he once said－

Danae, you couldn’t leave me because of your illness.

At the moment, was she gratified?

No, she was helpless, but bitter and silent.

That night, she did not fall asleep. Raymond also looked at her innocent but pitiful face and did not close his eyes all night.

… …

When she woke up the next day, she was the only one in her bed.

Curled up in the sheets, Danae looked at the clock on the table.

Henry came to see her. He came when Raymond was away. Danae was wearing home slippers and sitting at the dining table, sipping porridge.

“Henry, just say it.”

Henry： “…”

He couldn’t hide anything from her.

“Don’t dispute with Joe about yesterday.”

She ignored it, as if she had automatically blocked all the topics about Joe.

“She didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“She was jealous of me.”

“… yes.”

Henry did not deny that Danae knew Joe very well.

He couldn’t say why, sometimes it made people feel that Danae seemed to have seen through all of them.

But no one could understand her.

“Danae, such a thing would not happen again.”

Joe, she wouldn’t be so confused again.

“I know.”

She knew that when she was engaged, she went to marry Cyril.

Joe would not be jealous of her any more, just laughed at her.

“Henry, can you answer me a question?”

“What?”

“It had been six years ago, could this tracker still be taken out?”

Danae said, raising his little thumb, looking serious and not joking.

Henry’s face sank when he heard that. He performed the operation himself at that day.

However, it was also clear how painful the girl at that time was.

“I can’t take it.”

Over the years, I’m afraid it was fitted with her blood.

Danae nodded disapprovingly and seemed to be thinking about something. The appearance of silence made Henry thought that it was just lonely.

However, what she said the next moment shocked him.

－Well, if you couldn’t take it out, I only had to cut the finger.
