While He Married Her Bully, She Became His Secret Antidote

It was Caius.

He rushed inside and stopped in front of her.

“Why are you still standing there?! Run!”

Caius grabbed Vera’s hand and pulled her toward the window.

But the second he moved, Vera pulled her hand away.

Caius paused for a second and reached for her again, but she avoided him once more.

“Vera! Are you insane?! Come with me now!”

Vera cried. Caius had never seen her cry like this before, so helpless and broken.

“I’m not going! My medicine is stuck under there!”

“Do you want the medicine or your life?!” Caius shouted. “Let go! Drop the incubator!”

Vera answered him by shoving him away.

“I can finally be free. Do you know how much pain I’m in?”

“Caius… you’ve no idea how badly I hurt…”

“Vera!” Caius held her tightly. “I’m begging you, let me save you, okay?”

“No!”

The harder Caius pulled her, the tighter she held the incubator.

“Caius, if you drag me out of here, I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life.”

Before she could finish speaking, darkness covered Vera’s eyes, and her body suddenly fell backward.

After that, Vera remembered nothing.

She barely heard Caius shouting her name over and over again.

……

When she opened her eyes again, Vera found herself on a hospital bed.

The little nurse saw she was awake and hurried over to do a quick examination.

“There don’t seem to be any serious injuries on your body.”

“But the man who came in with you was hurt very badly. His entire body suffered burns.”

“I heard he entered the laboratory to rescue someone. Even after saving the person, he still went back inside to look for an incubator, no matter how people tried stopping him.”

Vera didn’t react at first. But after hearing the word “incubator,” she quickly lifted her head.

The incubator now rested beside the hospital bed, and the medicine inside had already finished combining.

The moment Vera looked at the small tray of medicine powder, tears rolled down uncontrollably.

She had been unconscious for one whole night. Today was the final day.

She was free now.

Vera was free.

She climbed off the hospital bed and slowly walked outside, her body still stiff.

She didn’t know where she was heading. She only knew this road would take her away from Caius.

The second Vera stepped out of the ward, Caius from the room beside hers was pushed into the operating room because his condition had suddenly gotten worse.

Before he entered the operating room, a message appeared on the phone left behind in his room.

“President Morris, we’ve finished checking the surveillance footage from that night five years ago.”

This was the last order Caius had given his assistant before learning Vera was nearly burned alive in the fire.

As Caius’s hospital bed passed by Vera, her eyes brushed over the face lying on the bed. Vera stood there like someone without emotions, unconsciously searching for that face in her memories.

She felt like she had seen him before, but his face had already been burned beyond recognition. Even if she remembered, she probably still wouldn’t know who he was.

Vera shook her head. Other than freedom, there was nothing else left in her thoughts.

She used the two thousand yuan Caius left in the bank card to buy the farthest and most expensive plane ticket.

From the moment she left the hospital until she boarded the plane, she never once turned back.

Just like every time Caius punished her, she always walked away after slamming the door, never looking back.

Before the plane departed, Vera took out her phone and sent Caius a message.

“The antidote is in the ward. Let’s never see each other again.”
