The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Driven to Death_1

“That’s my affair, none of your concern,”

Louisa Burley retorted, “Why do you keep following me?”

“The sixteen-year agreement has come due, Miss Burley should accompany me to the appointment,” Jeremy Hall said, striving to remain calm.

Louisa Burley indifferently said, “The matter of the marriage arrangement isn’t for you to decide, whoever wants to marry, let them come to discuss it themselves.”

Anger flashed across Jeremy Hall’s face, “Miss Burley, surely you don’t think I wouldn’t dare to make a move?”

“Make a move? On whom?”

A flicker of panic passed through Louisa Burley’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, “I don’t care who you intend to make a move on, if you dare to touch them, I will die right before your eyes!”

With that, she took out a small knife from her pocket.

The knife wasn’t large; it looked just like the kind of miniature spring-loaded toy knife sold on the streets, about the size of an index finger.

However, both edges of the knife had been sharpened to a keen, glittering sharpness, seemingly capable of slashing open someone’s throat.

Most importantly, the gleaming blade was pressed against Louisa Burley’s pale neck; a light drag would result in blood spraying the scene.

Upon seeing this, Jeremy Hall’s expression darkened immediately.

With his level of cultivation, there were a hundred ways to snatch the knife before Louisa Burley could kill herself, ensuring her life wouldn’t be harmed.

But he could not guarantee that Louisa Burley wouldn’t suffer any injury at all.

For anyone else, he would have undoubtedly taken the knife away, but if this was Aaron Gill’s fiancée, he had to be cautious.

Aaron Gill was a good man, but also clear with rewards and punishments, highly authoritative within the Sect, which made the disciples both love and fear him.

Moreover, Jeremy Hall greatly admired Aaron Gill, and from this perspective, he did not want to harm Louisa Burley either.

More importantly, he had only been bluffing just now.

The rules within the Sect were clear: one should not attack ordinary people without good reason, which did not mean you could not strike. The range of “without good reason” was also quite broad.

The current situation obviously had not exceeded the range of “without good reason.”

He certainly wouldn’t genuinely attack someone just because Louisa Burley refused to leave with him; he had merely been trying to scare her.

He could neither hit nor scold her.

Jeremy Hall felt a headache coming on and said, “What exactly do you want?”

Louisa Burley said, “I’ve already told you, whoever’s business it is should come to talk in person. You think you can just send someone to take me away? What do you take me for?” @@novelbin@@

Jeremy Hall looked at her intently. He could see that Louisa Burley was putting on a brave front, but he just couldn’t do anything about it.

The two stood there in the cold wind, at an impasse; Greg Jensen seemed to still be looking for that woolen coat.

After a while, Jeremy Hall spoke up on his own initiative, “Fine, if you don’t want to leave, then wait for Master Aaron himself to come fetch you.”

Upon finishing, he looked up at a certain room on the second floor, gave an almost imperceptible nod, turned, and stepped into the darkness, disappearing from sight.

In that dark room on the second floor, Trey Holmes stood by the window, watching Jeremy Hall leave, then took off his clothes and went back to bed to sleep.

In the courtyard.

Louisa Burley still stood there, immobile, with the knife still pressed to her neck, until she was sure Jeremy Hall really had gone; only then did she completely relax.

Now she was like one drained of strength, leaning against a big tree, breathing heavily.

Moments later, as footsteps approached, Louisa Burley quickly stood up and put the knife back in her pocket.

“Amande, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just suddenly felt a bit tired.”

Louisa Burley, facing Greg Jensen’s concerned gaze, squeezed out a sweet smile. Beneath her pale face, she seemed somewhat haggard.

“I didn’t find your coat; wear mine for now,”

Greg Jensen offered her his coat and then held her in his embrace.

Louisa Burley’s slightly trembling body calmed down in his hold, she let out a long breath.

“I’m a little tired, let’s go back,” she said.

“Alright then.”

The two hugged each other and returned to the villa.

“Do you want to rest in your room first?”

Louisa Burley shook her head and said, “No, let’s go to your room.”

“Huh?”

Greg Jensen had initially intended to let her rest after she had been in the cold wind, but unexpectedly, she wanted to go to his room instead.

This is…

Usually, just hearing about going to Greg Jensen’s room would turn her face as red as an apple. Why was she so proactive today?

Could it be that she had a change of heart?

Overjoyed in his heart, Greg Jensen didn’t hesitate and pulled her into his room.

Louisa Burley was indeed proactive today; she wrapped her arms around Greg Jensen’s neck and tiptoed up to kiss him as soon as the door closed.

Greg Jensen was elated beyond measure, feeling that today was finally the day he would break through the last barrier, and he responded immediately.

However, as it turned out, he was thinking too much.

After a moment of passion, just when it was about to reach the last step, Louisa Burley stopped again.

Greg Jensen looked down and saw that Louisa Burley had tears in her eyes.

She choked up and said, “Big Brother Greg, I’m sorry, I… I can’t give myself to you.”

“Hey, don’t cry now!”

Seeing her cry, Greg Jensen immediately became anxious.

To be fair, over the years, although Louisa Burley always emphasized saving herself for marriage, aside from that, Greg Jensen hadn’t missed out on any other advantages.

Moreover, if a man complained about his girlfriend over such a matter, would he still be a man?

After all, she was his girlfriend!

Greg Jensen no longer cared about being intimate; instead, he held her in his arms and began to coax her with a gentle and tender voice.

After telling a dozen jokes in a row, Louisa Burley finally broke into a smile, clutching her fists and lightly pounding Greg Jensen’s chest a few times.

“You bad guy, only telling me these dirty jokes.”

Seeing that Greg Jensen could restrain himself even under such circumstances just for her “wish,” she was deeply moved in her heart.

By evening, she simply chose not to leave and fell into a deep sleep against his warm chest right there in Greg Jensen’s room.

Louisa Burley slept soundly; ever since she discovered her feelings for Greg Jensen, she hadn’t been sleeping well.

She would either dream of sweet nothings with Greg Jensen or have nightmares of heartbreaking separations from him.

However, while she slept soundly, Greg Jensen suffered terribly.

Already stirred by powerful emotions and now with his arms full of warmth, he found it strange to be able to sleep.

He thought about taking a shower in the bathroom to cool down, but he was afraid of disturbing Louisa Burley. Instead, he quietly took out a Qi Condensing Pill and lay on his side, starting to cultivate using the Guidance Technique.

But in such a state, even trying to cultivate was somewhat difficult.

It took Greg Jensen quite some time to collect his thoughts and concentrate fully on his cultivation.

As dawn broke, the power of the elixir had been fully absorbed, and Greg Jensen finally began to feel drowsy, cuddling with Louisa Burley as he drifted into sleep.

They had hardly fallen asleep when a knock on the door rang out.

Both Greg Jensen and Louisa Burley were startled awake.

“I’ll go check.”

Greg Jensen kissed Louisa Burley’s forehead, then got out of bed and went to the living room to open the door.

“Trey? What’s up so early?”

Trey Holmes took a quick look inside, gave a knowing smile, and said, “Not early anymore, it’s already past eight. There’s an old man downstairs saying he’s from the Stuart Family; you’d better go down and see.”
