Chapter 175: Strongest of Them All

In an instant, Nicholas slapped his forehead and said in a scared tone, "Why is that person here?"

Bad memories immediately flashed through his mind but he immediately threw them away. His past was truly terrible.

Nicholas' subordinates looked confused, why did their master suddenly turn pale?

Nicholas' knees began to buckle as his whole body started to shake. Why... Why did that old man come here? 

Renault also saw the elder's face. He immediately took a step back and fell. His right hand immediately gripped his heart, as if he was having a heart attack.

"Why... Why is he here?" Renault questioned the same thing as Nicholas, they both didn't think that the ghost of their past would come to them again.

"Who is he?" One of the Lacroix family members asked Renault.

"Don't point to that man, you wouldn't want to have anything to do with him!" Renault immediately turned his face and slapped his family's hand. He wore a terrified expression on his face right now. He did not expect that the ghost would suddenly appear at his house.

Ryan looked at the person who was walking towards him and he immediately called out in surprise. 

"Second grandfather!"

That person turned out to be his second grandfather. Why was he here? Wasn't his grandfather supposed to be in the village?

The second grandfather smiled. Under everyone's gazes, he took his acupuncture needle and pressed down on the wounds Ryan had suffered. "Don't worry about the little details. You don't have to worry anymore. Grandpa will take care of the rest,"

Ryan then smiled happily. Whenever he was around his grandfather, he felt like he was a child again.

The second grandfather also approached Kane and pressed his wounds with the needles.

Then he quietly said, "You two, hurry over here."

Everyone stared silently. Who was the old man talking to? Some of them even looked down on him.

Unexpectedly, the two heads of the elite families walked over to the old man with a pale face.

To everyone's surprise, the heads of the two most influential family in Batavia approached the old man. Like obedient kids, the two of them lowered their heads and waited for the old man to talk.

They kept a distance from the crowd so no one could hear what the old man was saying to them. The crowd could only see the old man as if he was giving advice to the two heads of the family. Renault and Nicholas both nodded quickly, afraid that they would offend the old man.

Then, the second grandfather came over to Irina and looked at her from the top to down.

Irina was initially confused about what to do, but the second grandfather smiled and nodded in satisfaction. "You are a good girl,"

"Don't forget to take these two to the hospital."

Then, the second grandfather put on his hat and left the area.

Everyone was still silent even after the old man disappeared. What had just happened?

After the old man left, Nicholas and Renault's faces immediately brightened up again. Nicholas quickly took his men away and Renault tightly closed his door.

In an instant, only Irina, Ryan and Kane were left in the Lacroix family's yard. The ginseng doll that had been hiding finally came out and came to Kane. 

Irina was still confused as she tried to comprehend what happened. Suddenly, a thought came to her. Did that grandfather just check her to see if she would be a worthy granddaughter-in-law?

She shook her head to dismiss the thoughts, then quickly took Ryan and Kane to the hospital.

...… ..

At the hospital, Ryan and Kane were not admitted in the same room. The reason was because Ryan's wounds were much worse than Kane's.

Even though Kane was covered in blood, his wounds weren't fatal. Kane's wounds could heal soon even with just a little treatment. However, Ryan's condition was much more worrying. The wounds were creeping up to his organs and needed to be handled carefully.

Ryan was lying on the hospital bed now, accompanied by Irina who sat next to him. The entire VIP room was for him to enjoy.

Irina was peeling apples when Ryan stared at her in silence.

"Eat these," Irina said softly. She then handed a bowl full of apples to Ryan. However, Ryan shook his head.

"Why?" Irina asked with a confused face.

Ryan simply replied with a smile, "My body hurts all over and my hands won't move. Of course, I hope my beautiful wife needs to feed me,"

Irina blushed, but she didn't refuse his request. She took an apple and handed it to Ryan.

"Honey, that's not how you feed people," Ryan laughed, his naughty smile appeared.

"Then, how do I do it?" Irina looked confused.

"Put it into my mouth," Ryan said with a smile.

Irina looked doubtful.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't it normal for a wife to feed her husband?" Ryan said while watching Irina's soft lips. After tasting the forbidden fruit, he craved more and more of Irina's lips. He couldn't wait to taste it again.

Irina's face was really red. After hesitating a little, she took a bite of an apple and fed it to Ryan with her mouth.

Of course Ryan took the apple without hesitation while feeling his wife's lips along the way.

"Really good," Ryan nodded. But he was still not satisfied.

"Honey, I'm still hungry," Ryan said.

Irina did not hesitate to do it again. After all, Ryan was her husband. She took another slice of apple and gave it to him from mouth to mouth.

This time, Ryan didn't let Irina's lips run away. They kissed for about two minutes.

When he felt his wife was out of breath, Ryan broke off their kiss.

Seeing Irina's blushing face was enough to satisfy him for now. Besides, he shouldn't be overdoing it.

Indeed, he thought about women almost all the time but he was also an understanding person. It wouldn't be exaggerating to call Ryan a perverted womanizer. 

Still, he had his own principles that everything had to be done in the right place and the right time. He wasn't that perverted that he wanted to do it in public either. For gim, an intimate and romantic atmosphere in a secluded place was the key to having the ultimate pleasure.

Ryan then looked at Irina with a smile. All the struggles he suffered were really worth it.

Irina also looked at Ryan, and when she looked at the man's smile, her heart suddenly ached.

"Please forgive me," 

Seeing Irina suddenly cried, Ryan panicked. He didn't know why Irina was crying out of the blue like this.

He then sat down and lifted Irina's face with his fingers. "Honey, why are you crying? If there's something that still troubles you, you can tell me,"

"It was all my fault, I shouldn't have left you like that. You must be disappointed with me," Irina said, hating herself for her own decision.

Ryan sighed. Despite her tough nature, his wife could be stupid sometimes!

"It is true that you, leaving me like that, was wrong and thus, I have to punish you. Do you want to be punished now or later when we come home?" Ryan said.

Irina looked up, looking at her husband in confusion.

Ryan then hugged Irina and stroked her hair. The warm feeling made Irina feel like she was floating on the clouds.

Whispering in Irina's ear, Ryan easily made her blush hard, "Looks like I have to punish you according to our family's law,"

"Now you don't have to blame yourself like that. What you need to do now is feeding me more apples," he added.

Irina blushed, but her heart didn't feel cold anymore. After a few more bites, Ryan suddenly said, "Honey, since when did you grow up so big?"

"What do you mean?" Irina was a little confused, but when she saw Ryan's gaze on her breasts, she immediately understood the meaning of his words.

Ryan then stretched out his right hand but Irina immediately caught it. "Honey, we are in hospital. I'll let you feel them later, when we're at home,"

Hearing Irina's naughty words, Ryan gave a naughty smile. "Can you kiss me?"

Irina just nodded and kissed Ryan again. However, a light kiss could not satisfy Ryan's lust. Their two tongues immediately carried out their duties.

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a baby laughing startled the two of them. Ryan quickly checked the entire room and realized that the ginseng doll was sitting on his bed. She looked at Ryan and Irina with a confused face and wondered what the two humans were doing.

The question was, since when did the doll sit there?

How could this doll peek at them while they were making out?

The two immediately break off their kiss but the ginseng doll seemed not to accept it. She looked like she was saying, "Go on, go on, I still want to see it!"

Why was this doll like a pubescent kid watching porn for the first time?
