Chapter 252 My Heart Has Always Been Yours
Sarah's heart wrenched with pain, almost stealing her breath away. Her eyes reddened as she gazed at Antonio, teetering on the edge of tears.
Witnessing Sarah's agony over Antonio, Richard felt a sudden weight in his gaze. At that moment, he comprehended that he had lost entirely.
Sarah's gaze never once graced him with even the slightest bit of attention from beginning to end. Or perhaps he never had a chance to participate in this game to begin with...
With red eyes, Sarah looked at Antonio's torn wound and helped him up, saying, "Let's go back and tend to the wound. It's finally healed, and I'm afraid it might get infected."
"Okay." Antonio softly replied, leaning slightly against Sarah as they walked towards Richard's house.
Looking at Richard's gloomy face, his mother couldn't help but give him a hard pat on the head.
"Loss is loss, and besides, someone just saved your life. What's there to be dissatisfied about? A true man, even if in love, should be able to accept defeat and let go!"
Richard lowered his head slightly, remaining silent.
After Sarah brought Antonio back to Richard's house, they went straight into their room.
After Antonio took the anti-inflammatory medicine, Sarah brought the medicine box and started dressing his wounds again. Watching his reopened wound, Sarah couldn't help but frown with utmost tenderness.
Her movements were particularly gentle, using a piece of cotton soaked in iodine to carefully clean his wound. Even so, he couldn't help but flinch when she touched his wound, his muscles involuntarily twitching from the pain.
Sarah's heart couldn't help but ache as well. She was unable to understand why Antonio suddenly wanted to compete.
After bandaging Antonio's wound, her gaze became sharp. "What were you thinking just now? Why did you compete with Richard? Don't you know you're still injured?"
Antonio snorted. "He provoked me first, saying whoever wins would have you! What a joke! You've always been mine from the beginning to the end! But I hate that he desires you. I wanted to make him acknowledge and accept it. Besides, I can't let you think your man is so weak. It was just swimming, it's nothing!"
Sarah was dumbfounded, finding it both funny and frustrating. Because of this reason, he went into the competition even though his injury hadn't completely healed. Suddenly, Sarah’s heart became soft. Antonio's actions were somewhat childish, but she understood the sentiment he wanted to convey.
Sarah looked at Antonio earnestly and said, "You don't need to compete with him. My heart has always been yours."
Antonio was always restless, afraid of her leaving. Perhaps it was because she had never expressed her true feelings for him since they reunited. She didn't want Antonio to harm himself for similar reasons in the future, nor did she want him to be emotionally unstable when faced with other situations. As such, she wanted to reassure him by clearly telling him now.
Upon seeing her serious expression, with deep affection in her eyes, Antonio's heart suddenly seemed to be beating faster.
A beam of light suddenly bloomed in his deep eyes, filled with surprise.
"Sarah..."
Antonio was overwhelmed with happiness, rendering him momentarily speechless. It was as if all his efforts had finally paid off at this moment.
To some extent, he had to thank Lucien for creating this crisis for him. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have had the chance to spend so much time alone with Sarah, and to hear Sarah expressing her true feelings voluntarily.
Antonio was exhilarated and raised his arms, wanting to embrace Sarah. But when he lifted his arm, he pulled on the wound, and his expression instantly became somewhat painful.
"Ah..."
He took a sharp breath, and Sarah quickly rushed to support him anxiously.
“Don’t move, you’ll aggravate your wound.”
"It's okay. It's not a big deal. I'm just happy."
He immediately shook his head and hugged Sarah tightly while enduring the pain,.
Sarah still looked worriedly at his shoulder. After ensuring he was okay, she finally exhaled in relief. Gradually, she relaxed, leaning against him.
"Sarah, I'm really happy..." he couldn't help but repeat while holding her, burying his head in her neck.
Upon seeing his uncontrollable happiness, a smile formed at the corner of Sarah's lips, and her eyes sparkled with joy. As it turned out, all he needed was one sentence to put his mind at ease.
He never seemed to ask for much. It was just that she hadn't understood before how easily satisfied this man in front of her was.
Sarah gently rubbed his cheek, feeling warmth in her heart.
Meanwhile, at Michael’s household…
Ethan woke up early in the morning to discover Harper was missing. He found a note on the dining table, and as he read it, an uneasy premonition stirred within him, darkening his expression.
[Ethan, I'm going to look for Mommy myself since we still haven't heard any news from her!
—Harper]
"Nonsense!" yelled Ethan who was both angry and scared.
The location mentioned was so vague, there was no way Harper would be able to find her! It meant risking losing their mom and possibly Harper too!
Ethan immediately called Brian, who was overseas. After all, Harper was just a child. If she dared to go out on her own, she would probably get help from Brian. He needed to find out the situation.
Unexpectedly, when Brian heard Ethan's words, he was startled and almost ran into a door."What did you say?! She's not with you? She told me you both had a complete plan and even asked me for a helicopter..."
Now Ethan was completely panicked. That little trickster Harper had learned to deceive from both sides!
