《I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle》全部章節：第 151 章 - 第 160 章

Navia instinctively covered her stomach and stumbled back two steps.By the time she looked up again, Leonel had already disappeared into the crowd.Her heart skipped.She hurriedly called him, wanting to tell him she was still nearby.No answer.Watching him disappear farther into the sea of people, Navia suddenly felt like crying.Oh no.I really messed this up.She had only wanted to scare him a little because she was still annoyed.She never meant to genuinely frighten him.But judging from his reaction…this had clearly gone far beyond teasing.The night market grew more crowded by the minute.The humid air felt suffocating as people packed tighter through the narrow streets.Navia originally planned to stay where she was and wait for him, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided it would be smarter to head back to the car instead.By the time she finally pushed

Leonel finally stood.Jason handed him his overcoat.As Leonel slipped it on, he turned back for one last look at Navia lying alone in the hospital bed.Concern lingered in his eyes.“How long before she wakes up from the medication?”“About thirty minutes,” Jason replied.“Remind me before then.”Leonel lowered his gaze slightly.“I want to be beside her before she wakes up. Otherwise she’ll panic.”Navia always acted stubborn and strong.But growing up with an absent mother and a reckless, neglectful father had planted insecurity deep inside her long ago.She had only survived by wrapping herself in layers of armor.Leonel had spent so much time carefully breaking through those walls.If he failed to give her enough security now, she would retreat back into herself again.And if that happened…getting her back out wou

Leonel’s expression darkened instantly.“Don’t ever scare me like that again.”Last night, when he realized she’d disappeared from beside him, it had felt like someone had ripped his heart out with their bare hands.For one terrifying moment, he’d wanted to break her legs and keep her locked beside him forever so she could never run again.And later, seeing her unconscious—If she hadn’t been pregnant, he honestly didn’t know whether he would’ve been able to control himself.Navia immediately stopped struggling and stayed quietly in his arms.“I know,” she said softly. “I won’t do it again.”“Oh? Now you admit it?” Leonel let out a quiet scoff. “Weren’t you trying to argue your way out of it a minute ago?”Then his eyes narrowed slightly.“So tell me. How should I punish you?”Navia blinked.&l

Leonel’s tone left absolutely no room for argument.After confiscating Navia’s phone, he ignored every one of her protests and calmly used the room phone to call downstairs, instructing the staff to bring dinner up instead.Navia opened her mouth several times, clearly wanting to argue.But after one look at his expression, she swallowed the words back down.Dinner was followed by another round of medicine.By the time the bitter taste faded from her mouth, drowsiness was already pulling her under again.Even half-asleep, Navia still reached out to tug lightly at Leonel’s sleeve.“Don’t forget to send someone to pick Vivian up,” she mumbled softly. “She’s still injured. Don’t make her wait too long.”Then she gave him the restaurant address.Leonel frowned slightly.Even now, her thoughts were still occupied with other people.Her mother.Her friends.Soon, th

Vivian gazed quietly out the window.Even in a wheelchair, she carried herself with effortless elegance.“I’m tired of living by other people’s rules,” she said softly. “Back then, I starved myself to stay camera-ready, worked until I could barely stand, and kept telling myself that if I endured long enough, eventually I’d get the life I wanted.”A faint laugh escaped her lips.“And in the end, I lost everything anyway.”Something flickered across Adrian’s expression.Sunlight streamed through the car window, casting a soft glow over her pale profile. For a fleeting moment, she looked almost delicate enough to disappear into the light itself.Then she turned to him.“So I finally realized something.” Her lips curved into a small smile. “Life’s too short to keep making myself miserable.”She paused.“Now take me to the f
