Chapter 187 Lauraâs POV.
I might have met stubborn people in my life, but the person sitting before me was their master, concealing the main issue behind the facade of indifference. Bright narrated his story of hardships at Wilson Mansion, clarifying all the misunderstandings. But he didnât let me figure out the most pressing matter: His health.
The moment he came to my Villa, I suspected that he was in an accident, his lip leg screamed to make me aware of his condition. However, my headstrong fiancé feigned ignorance, his last part of escape finally occurred tone that he was indeed injured.
As he was behaving like a child, I scared him with my mommy glare and ordered, âShow me your leg, Bright. I am sure that you have hurt yourself.â
Putting on a piteous face, Bright pouted, his hands were shaking as he rolled his pants up, âNothing can escape your sharp eyes, Laura. Yes, I used the rope of bedsheets, but my room was on the third floor. The length of the sheets wasnât enough. I fell down...â
Bloody hell!
His statement thumped my heart, contracting my stomach into a tight ball. I blamed myself for closing my eyes when the facts were right before me. My beloved was injured, and I focused on trivial matters like engagement and affairs, it was such a shame that I was oblivious of my loved onesâ suffering.
Firstly, I called my family doctor to my Villa and took that superman to my room, helping him change his clothes. I was devastated to see the marks on his skin.
Due to free fall, there was a long cut on Brightâs leg, his back, and chest were full of scratches and bloodied wounds. He was like a stick in Henryâs loose clothes. Although they were the same size in clothing, the cursed hunger strike made him thin. I was anguished beyond words to feel his misery.
He was deeply hurt by his closest relatives, and still smiling, being a realâlife example of patience. As a kid who had missed her parentâs indulgence throughout my life, Brightâs experience really changed my views. I was able to see the world in a new light.
It was painful for a child to grow up without parents, but living with toxic ones was absolute hell, destroying his life for good.
Bright was an exceptional case, as a person surviving in such an abused environment would be an emotionless beast, blinded by the appeal of power.
I scolded Bright for his carelessness to take his mind off this worry and spoke nonstop until the doctor arrived, he examined his injuries and said, âHis leg needs a cast. It is broken above the ankle.â
He insisted on taking him to the hospital, but we couldnât afford it now. So, the doctor had to fix Brightâs leg at home through a fiberglass cast. He prescribed complete bed rest and medication, advising us.
âIt seems that Mr. Bright hasnât slept for days. His leg is broken, so proper rest and diet will help him heal smoothly. Please follow the instructions strictly.â
The doctor wanted to run some standard tests, but it was late at night, so we delayed this until morning. Bright wasnât in favor of medical treatment at all.
âThereâs no need for unnecessary tests, Laura. I am home now; everything will be fine.â
I fed him soup and medicine according to the doctorâs prescription, and tucked him in bed, the shadows under Brightâs eyes urged me to let him sleep. But I knew that he wouldnât rest until my assurance. So, I went to lie down beside him.
Placing my chin on his broad chest, I spoke my mind, âI truly appreciate that you did so much for me, Bright. Your trust in our relationship has swooned me off my feet. I donât know how, but I got lucky to have you in my life.
I didnât doubt your intentions as well, Bright. When your mom asked me to take her money, I rejected her offer immediately.â
In the silence of my Villa, my heartfelt emotions flowed out to strengthen our bond, I didnât hide any detail and repeated the happenings of that eventful day one by one. Bright was depressed to learn about his momâs conduct, so he apologized on her behalf.
âI never intended to put you through this, Laura. From the moment we started exclusive dating, I have decided to convince my parents for you, but their long business trip didnât give me a chance to have a serious conversation with them.

I let out a relieved sigh and stopped him from apologizing, he was also a victing like me. âYou havenât done anything wrong, Bright. My life is already a hot mess due to iny past marriage, but you stick to my side in every thick and in. Itâs more than enough for me.
In fact, I am habitual of your affection now, Bright. You have become a part of my soul, letting me tas man except you.â

âThanks for choosing me, Laura. You have made me the luckiest man alive in the world!â
I inhaled his manly scent free from artificial perfume, relishing the heart fluttering sensation of being held closely. The rhythm of Brightâs calm heart rate enveloped me with his addicting warmth, making me soar high in the sky At that moment, the fear of losing him again struck me out of nowhere, hinting towards a terrifying possibility. I wrapped my arms around him and questioned hesitantly, âWhat if you come out of confinement and found out that everything your mom said was true? What if I really reconciled with Leo, Bright?â
