Chapter 704 - Being Beaten Up

Outside the window, two guards were chatting.

"Isn't she awake?" one guard asked.

"Yes, honestly, she had been asleep for a day and two nights," the other guard answered.

"Is she alright?" the former guard asked again.

"Well, I guess not!" the other guard answered while shrugging.

"Oh my god, Mr. Vincent is amazing!" the former guard remarked.

"After all, he had been single for so many years," the other guard answered.

The noise outside the window was like birds chirping and it disturbed Emily. She opened her eyes with a frown. Before she could complain, she heard the guard speak again, "Hey, she is awake!"

Then, footsteps came from outside the door. Emily stared at the ceiling in a daze. Then, a cup of water appeared in front of her, followed by Vincent's voice. "You're finally awake. Have some water."

She wanted to sit up, but she found that she had no strength. Then, she was picked up by Vincent. However, she felt a sour pain all over. She hissed and then took a sip of water before lying softly in Vincent's arms. "Vincent," she muttered.

"Yes? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Vincent asked. He then lowered his head and kissed her face.

"Yes," Emily answered. She moved her arm and found that she couldn't lift it, so she said with a sad face, "I felt pains all over my body."

"Do you want to eat something?" Vincent asked gently. He then began to give her a massage on her shoulders.

"Ah, don't touch it," Emily cried out as soon as Vincent grabbed her shoulder. Tears welled up in her eyes, just the same as last night. Vincent's blood raced as he heard her groan. He tilted his head and took a deep breath. Finally, he suppressed the sex drive in his heart.

"What about them?" Emily tilted his head and looked out the window. The window was open, and the golden sunlight shone in, casting a gorgeous golden light on the ground.

"You have been asleep for a long time, so they left," Vincent said. Meanwhile, he wiped away her tears with his finger and lowered his head to kiss her eyes.

"What? What day is it today?" she asked with doubt.

"It's the 11th of this month," Vincent said.

"What?" Emily said with her eyes wide open. She remembered that they got their marriage certificate on the ninth day of this month. Then they came back and had a party with their friends. Later, they played games together.

All of a sudden, she remembered the wild night with Vincent. Her face blushed. She blinked and then closed her eyes in embarrassment. "Well, I'm going to sleep," she said shyly.

"Eat something first," Vincent persuaded.

Upon hearing his husky voice, Emily recalled the scene when he tricked her into calling him "honey" that night. She blushed again and even her ears turned red. "No, I want to sleep," she said in a hurry.

Vincent noticed the change of her expression, as well as her red ear. He stretched out and touched her face. "Why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever? Do you have a headache?" he asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine," Emily answered and then covered herself in the quilt.

"Then, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere else?" Vincent asked as he reached out to pull the quit.

As soon as Emily heard what he said, she felt embarrassed. She buried her head in the quilt and said, "I don't want to see you!"

Vincent was stunned.

He finally understood why she covered herself in the quilt. He coughed lightly and touched her head across the quilt. Then, he comforted, "Be good, don't be angry. Next time, I will..."

He said something in a low voice. Emily covered her ears in embarrassment and said, "I won't listen!"

The two guards outside the window heard their conversation. They began to joke. "I won't listen, I won't listen!" one guard repeated Emily's words.

Upon hearing that, the other guard said, "Listen to me. I can explain. I didn't mean to let you suffer from pains. I love you so much that I can't control myself."

The former guard said, "I won't listen. You are annoying!"

The other guard said, "Honey, please forgive me. Next time, I will..."

The former guard snorted and said nothing.

Rex, who was standing on the corridor was rendered speechless by the way the two guards imitated Vincent's and Emily's tone.

Emily could finally go downstairs at night, but her whole body was sore and painful. She sat on the dining chair, and her hands holding the fork and knife were shaking. When she heard that Jaquan was hospitalized, she froze on the spot. The steak on her fork fell to the plate. "Why is he hospitalized?" she asked in shock.

Vincent took the steak with his fork and brought it to her mouth. "He was beaten up by Emma," he said thinly.

"Why?" Emily asked while chewing the steak. Her cheeks bulged and she looked like a cute little hamster.

Vincent looked at her dotingly. He took a tissue and wiped the soup on the corner of her mouth and said, "Emma was drunk."

Upon hearing that, Emily widened her eyes in disbelief. After a while, she remarked, "Emma is really something."

She then asked, "What about Jaquan? Is he fine now?"

Vincent didn't say anything, instead, he took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album. Then, he handed his phone to Emily. In the photos, Jaquan's head was wrapped with bandages, and there was a fixed stand on his neck.

Looking at the photos, Emily could not help but say, "Jaquan is pitiful."

She scrolled downwards, but there were no photos. She thought there would be more if she scrolled upwards, so she scrolled. Vincent noticed her movements. Before he could stop her, he saw her blushing and put the phone on the desk with its screen to the desk surface.

Emily glared at Vincent angrily, "Heck, how can you take a photo like that?"

"The important days should be remembered," Vincent said. He then reached for his phone, but Emily refused to give it to him. After pondering for a while, Emily released her grip on the phone and said, "Then you must not let others see it..."

"Of course. There is no reason for me to show your photos to others," Vincent said. He took back his phone and stroked the girl's long hair in the photo.

Emily took a sip of water and asked, "Then why did you take those photos?"

Vincent looked up at her and said, "I took them for myself."

Emily was lost for words.

After dinner, Vincent led Emily out for a walk, followed by Rex and guards. Candy was also there.

In the twilight, they looked like a line of black dots under the sky. Emily's legs went limp after she walked for a while. Later, Vincent carried her and walked forward.

"Vincent, when we get old in the future, will we eat together, walk together, and look up at the starry sky above us together?" Emily asked. She then looked up at the sky and continued, "When we die, will we become a star in the sky forever, hanging in the sky and watching the relatives below?"

Vincent stopped and looked up. "I don't know what the others will do, but I will only look at you," he said with affection.

Emily was amused by his words and began to giggle. "Then I can recognize you at a glance. You must be more beautiful, bigger, and brighter than the other stars," she said with a smile.

The corner of Vincent's mouth curled into a faint smile as he heard the way Emily described the star he became.

"There are fireflies!" Emily shouted all of a sudden. Then, she got off Vincent's back and ran forward. She then turned round and beamed at Vincent. "Vincent, come quickly! There are so many fireflies here!" she said with excitement.

As she spun, she looked at the fireflies around her with a smile on her face. The long dress on her body swayed and rotated. The fireflies around her were alarmed and began to fly away. They were like small lamps, illuminating her pretty face.

Vincent walked towards her and extended his hand. "Miss, can I invite you to dance?" he asked like a gentleman.

"But I don't know how to dance," Emily whispered into his ear after giving him her hand.

"Don't worry. Just follow my steps and movements," Vincent said. Then, he held her waist with one hand.

The guards around took out their mobile phones to pick out music. Rex pulled the little puppy and pointed at the root of a tree and said, "Candy! This is where you pee! Don't pee on my pants anymore!"

As soon as he finished his words, the little puppy peed on his leather shoes. Rex roared angrily, "Ah, you naughty puppy!"

The little puppy was startled. Then it barked and ran away as fast as its little legs could carry it. Rex chased after it.

Under the vast starry sky, Emily beamed at Vincent. She tiptoed to Vincent and said, "Vincent, I love you so much."

Vincent tilted his head and gently bit her ear with his teeth.. "I love you, too," he said in a husky voice.
