Chapter 521 Feelings Intensify
Abella's eyes softened, and she smiled. "You're easy to please."
Phillipe gently applied the ointment, his voice tender. "I think I'm being greedy. Being with someone as amazing as you, I need to try harder. Just having you is worth more than anything. You're all I need."
Abella's eyes softened even more.
"Does it hurt?" Phillipe asked as he carefully tended to the wound on her back.
"Your touch is much gentler than Little and the others'."
He seemed to have a knack for this.
Unlike the person who had dumped too much powder on her wound, causing her excruciating pain when she was unconscious.
After finishing with the ointment, Phillipe gently kissed an uninjured spot on her back.
The soft touch made Abella look up, her beautiful profile reflected in his eyes.
Phillipe moved closer and couldn't help but kiss her lips.
The soft affection from his lips made Abella slowly respond to his kiss.
Their affection intertwined, inseparable.
"Ms. Medici."
At that moment, Sam saw the door was open and knocked as usual, entering with a few others behind him.
Seeing Phillipe kneeling on one knee, kissing Abella on the bed, Sam and the others were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Although Abella's back was covered by clothes, Phillipe still immediately pulled the blanket to cover her body.
Both of their lips were red, and the affection in their eyes hadn't faded.
"Did I let you in?" Abella's voice still had a hint of teasing. She lifted her eyes and saw Sam, Ernest, and a few others with bruised faces. "Injured?"
"It's nothing, Ms. Medici... We just want to escort you back home." Sam was still worried about them boarding the plane with so few people, fearing they might be at a disadvantage.
Seeing them all badly injured, Abella decided. "You all stay here and recover."
"Ms. Medici..."
Sam wanted to say, 'Are you going to abandon us now that you have Phillipe?' However, such mushy words were better left unsaid, or he would definitely be punished.
"Come find me when you're healed."
Hearing Abella's words, Sam and the others were overjoyed and replied, "We will definitely recover well!"
"Everyone has worked hard this month; bonuses for everyone will be tenfold."
Everyone's eyes lit up with joy. "Long live Ms. Medici!"
"Ms. Medici, are you feeling better?" Sam couldn't help but ask with concern, "Do you need me to contact Dr. Abbott for you, so he can check on you when you return home?"
"No need."
"Stop talking nonsense," Tony said, pulling Sam aside. Enough already. They're trying to bond. Why are you interfering?"
"Ms. Medici is my leader, OK? What's wrong with me talking to her?"
"Ms. Medici also needs her own time. Now move aside!"
Downstairs, Winston noticed Nicole's fingers move slightly, in disbelief and immense joy. Shortly after, Nicole opened her eyes, seemingly trying to adjust to the light.
She was already stunning, and now with her eyes open, she looked even more captivating.
Winston finally saw her awake. He excitedly and cautiously called out, "Nicole?"
Nicole heard the familiar voice, paused, and her gaze fell on Winston, seemingly in disbelief. "Winston?"
"You finally woke up..." Winston, on the verge of tears, immediately hugged her. "Thank goodness, you finally woke up..."
She didn't know how she ended up here. Feeling Winston's familiar yet long-missed embrace, her eyes instantly welled up, and she instinctively hugged him back.
"Is this a dream..." Nicole closed her eyes, deeply inhaling his scent. "It must be a dream."
She often had such dreams.
In her dreams, Winston also hugged her like this, sometimes joyful, sometimes teary-eyed like now.
The only constant was that every time she woke up, Winston was never by her side.
That immense emptiness and loss had tormented her repeatedly.
"It's not a dream," Tears welled up in Winston's eyes, and he said hoarsely, "Abella carried you back."
Taking this chance, he formally introduced, "Abella is my sister, my real sister. We just reunited a few months ago. She went to Fishpond Road and told me that your disappearance might have a hidden reason, so we followed the clues all the way."
"Abella..." Nicole thought of something and quickly asked, "Where is she?"
"She's slightly injured, resting upstairs."
"Is it life-threatening?"
"No," Winston stroked her soft hair lovingly and said, "Don't worry, this is her territory. You're very safe here."
Nicole lifted her eyes again and asked, "Is this her territory?"
"Yes, she's the leader here."
'Winston's biological sister is the leader of The A Gang—Boss A?' She thought.
Now it was Nicole's turn to be surprised.
"Didn't Raymond tell you?" Winston asked softly.
"He only said Abella was a good friend and had a life-and-death bond with him... he didn't elaborate further."
Nicole noticed the injuries on Winston's body and remembered what Abella had said. Tears welled up in her eyes again.
"These injuries were all for me..." Nicole looked at each wound on his body with heartache. While feeling sad, she was also angry. Damn Umbra League, how dare they hurt Winston like this.
"It's my own incompetence. Fortunately, Abella was the first to notice something was wrong and took me along to investigate. The keepsake you left in the amulet was also first discovered by her. She and Phillipe even went to the Umbra League's mountain and retrieved all the data you stored on the computer."
Hearing this, Nicole felt both happy and embarrassed about the three questions she had set.
Winston cupped her face and said happily, "If it weren't for Abella, I wouldn't have known I held such a high place in your heart. The three questions you set were all about me... and Abella told you I was dead, seeing how sad you were."
Nicole felt even more embarrassed, but knowing the data was in their hands and not taken by the Umbra League, she felt relieved.
Next, she must cut off part of the Umbra League's power, exposing all of its misdeeds.
"Nicole, I missed you so much." Winston cupped her face and, taking advantage of the reunion's joy, kissed the lips he had longed for day and night.
Nicole, who had already broken up with him, instinctively wanted to resist. But the longing of over a year made her unable to control herself. She missed him so much, unconsciously responding to his kiss, closing her eyes and shedding tears.
