Chapter 734 - Hanged to death (1/2)

Hospital

Around midnight.

Clara screamed and jolted up, startling Ben who had just fallen asleep.

”Babe,what happened? Are you fine? Should I call the doctor?” He panicked.

Turning towards him, she started touching his face and arms. ”Are you fine? You—”

”Calm down, I am alright. See, I am not hurt anywhere.”

Pouncing onto his embrace, she started crying out of loud while hugging him tightly. She was scared, scared that if she loosens her embrace, he would disappear or go away.

Kissing the top of her head, he gently caressed her back to calm her down. ”It's okay, I am right here.”

”I am sorry Ben, I am so sorry.”

”Sshhh it's alright, take some rest for now okay? We will talk about this tomorrow.”

”But—”

Cutting her off, Ben said, ”Don't think about anything now, you are with me now and I promise that no one will harm you.”

Clutching onto his shirt, Clara slowly lied down but when he saw reluctance in her eyes, he lied down beside her and pulled her into his embrace.

”Sleep now honey, it's a new day for us tomorrow.” Kissing her on her forehead, he added, ”We are together now and that is what matters.”

….

Mian's cabin.

Grabbing her things Mian was about to leave when Gavin entered the cabin.

”You seem to be in a hurry.”

Mian gasped and placed her hand on her chest. ”Oh my God, you scared me.”

Throwing his head back, he chuckled, ”Did I? I am sorry for that.”

”It's alright.”

”You are leaving early?” He asked

”Yeah, I am on a leave until my wedding actually but I drop by when there is an emergency.”

”Oh, so should I won't see you around until you officially become Mrs Li?”

Mian chuckled and nodded her head, ”Well, if that makes sense then yes.”

Smiling at her, Gavin said, ”Hmm I must say that you were looking so beautiful yesterday during the banquet, no wonder Mr Li is head over heels for you.”

She smiled and answered, ”It's more than just being beautiful or handsome between Zian and me. The equation and bond that we share is very different.”

He reluctantly nodded his head and added, ”Yes of course there is a special bond between the two of you and I hope that it's strong enough to face all the challenges that will come your way in the future.”

”Don't worry Dr Gavin, we can handle all kinds of challenges and people that will try to come our way.” Taking the bag from Mian's hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist and added, ”Our relationship is very strong.”

Gavin smiled and nodded his head, ”Well, glad to know that.”

”Now if you please excuse us, we need to take our leave.” Turning towards Mian, Zian smiled, ”Shall we go honey?”

After Zian and Mian left, Gavin chuckled and helplessly shook his head.
