Chapter 287

((( RHIO POV's )))

"You need to eat a lot. I don't want to see my princess so thin…"

She just smiled when I placed the tray in front of her. Finally, her condition has improved a little. The trauma was still there but we'll work on it until it was nothing but only a bad memory without any control on her emotions and in her life.

"We'll take you back home tomorrow if everything goes fine." She nodded.

"I'll feed you," I insisted.

She looked at me and moved her hands, "I can feed myself."

"No," I teased her with my brows. "You might just hide the fork again and try to kill me."

She smiled, "No. Could I ever kill the person who truly loves me?" I pinched her nose. "Ouch!"

"I'm glad my crazy wife is back." I opened my arms wide.

"Hug me please."

"…and my grumpy husband has gotten flirtier." I smiled, "Soon we'll be legally husband and wife."

Then I fed her. I didn't want to see what I've seen yesterday again. I want to see her happy every day.

"I'm already a burden to you," she said weakly.

"Did you just notice today?"

"Is that so?" she childishly turned her back at me. "Then leave me alone."

"You want me to leave?"

"Yes. Because I'm just a burden to you."

"Okay."

I stood up but…

"Uhm," she turned to me again and smiled, "could you just leave later…after I finish my food?"

"Just tell me you didn't want me to leave your side."

"I just want to finish the food, Mister."

I pinched her nose again, "I would leave you until the plates were empty."

"You really like pinching my nose, don't you? It's gotten more aquiline than the last time I remembered." I spoon-fed her again.

"I love you so much Jasmin."

She looked at me and smiled, "You've gone crazy."

"Maybe," I laughed.

"I love you too."

"You've gone crazy too."

"I'm serious. So don't do anything that could turn me off. I'm easily turned off."

"Turned off or not, I wouldn't let you leave."

"Your little horns grew again…I heard."

"Heard from whom?"

"The maids…I heard it was because of what happened to me. Is that right?"

"Oh that? I'm hunting those motherfuckers who---"

"What did you do to them?"

"Nothing yet. I'm still completing their gang."

"Rhio!" I chuckled, "You're worried for them? They're the reason why our baby almost died."

"Zhi---"

"Please Jasmin. I don't want us to argue about them. And today isn't the time for you to think about those bastards, okay?"

"…and about Derick…."

I frowned, "You're thinking about him?"

"Not really. But he's innocent. He's not at fault."

"If that fucker didn't take you there, none of it would've happened," I lifted another scoop of food up her mouth, "Now eat this…"

She's still pensive.

"Don't think about them Jasmin." She nodded but I wasn't convinced by it.

My phone suddenly rang. It was Deo. I didn't want to answer the call but…

"It's important Rhio. You have to answer the call," Jasmin held my hand. She nodded again but smiled bitterly.

I took the call but what I've heard was… What the fuck was that?
