Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 319: Will You Be Afraid of Me?

Professor Parker stayed in the room for a long time, only coming out when it was dawn.

His expression was stern as he ordered the two subordinates guarding the door, "Send someone to cause some trouble for the Shaw family, just don’t kill anyone, you can do whatever else you want."

His gaze was icy, carrying a bloodthirsty murderous intent, like a venomous snake lurking in the grass, ready to bite at any moment.

"Yes." The subordinate received the order and immediately left the villa.

City S.

Serena Summers and Adrian Holt left the hospital, "Let’s go, we’ll first shop at the mall, and then I’ll take you somewhere."

Adrian tilted his head towards her, "Where to?"

Serena smiled mysteriously, a sly spark passing through her eyes, "You’ll know when we get there."

She took Adrian’s hand and got in the car, instructing Brandon Reese, who was in the driver’s seat, "To the mall."

Upon receiving the instruction, Brandon immediately started the engine and drove towards the nearby mall.

Serena took charge of the shopping while Adrian followed, carrying bags. Both of them had striking appearances and stood out even in a crowd.

Many people approached to strike up a conversation, but retreated when they saw their intertwined fingers.

Even those bold enough to ask for contact information were met by Serena lifting the hand intertwined with Adrian’s, saying, "You’ll have to ask my husband if he agrees."

Adrian’s expression was frosty, his aura unwelcoming, and just one glance from him felt like it could freeze someone’s blood.

Consequently, a large group of people who wanted to approach were scared off.

Serena couldn’t help but laugh at everyone’s fearful looks towards Adrian.

Adrian looked down at the giggling girl snuggled in his arms and couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth.

"Is it that funny?"

"Yeah, they’re all scared of you. You must be too fierce." Serena lifted her face from his chest and carefully examined his face.

Yes, indeed a bit fierce.

No wonder he was once called the "Cold-faced Yama."

Adrian sighed helplessly, leaned in close to her, and asked, "Are you scared of me?"

Serena’s laughter faded as she lifted her hand to cradle his face, saying seriously, "Not scared."

The girl’s clear and distinct eyes sparkled with tiny lights, like dazzling stars, so brilliant that they captivated one’s gaze.

Adrian felt as if something had harshly collided with his chest, with nothing left in his ears but his heartbeat sounding like drumbeats.

Serena’s long, curled eyelashes trembled lightly, and then she lifted her chin and pressed her lips onto those thin lips she had longed for.

With a "boom", it seemed as if something violently exploded in his mind, Adrian’s face turned deathly pale and he painfully furrowed his brows.

He swayed, his large figure trembling as he instinctively held his excruciatingly painful head, a trace of agony flashing across his handsome face.

Serena quickly supported his arm, staring at him in shock, "What’s wrong?"

"What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Serena hurriedly grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse, but everything seemed normal; his body was even stronger than it had been two years ago. Why would this happen?

Adrian pulled away from her hands and stepped back until he leaned against the wall, barely stabilizing himself.

"Don’t come closer for now."

Serena’s stepping forward halted abruptly, she stared at him blankly, "Adrian..."

Adrian looked pale and weak, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The veins on his forehead bulged from enduring the pain, making him look very agonized.

Serena Summers also realized the seriousness of the situation, immediately instructing Brandon Reese beside her: "Go bring the car around, we’re heading home."

Brandon Reese glanced at Adrian Holt and hurriedly ran downstairs to get the car.

It was a while before Adrian Holt finally lowered his hands from his head.

Once away from Serena Summers, the piercing pain also slowly dissipated, but his expression still looked bad.

If one could say the first time was a coincidence, then what about this time?

Why does his head feel like it’s being torn apart every time his heart races in Serena’s presence?

He slowly lifted his eyes, his gaze falling on Serena.

At this moment, she stood two steps away from him, her clear eyes fixed on him, filled with worry.

He dropped his eyelashes, hiding the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes, and leaned on the wall to stand up.

"Adrian, are you okay?" Serena looked at him with concern.

Adrian Holt gave a reassuring smile, "I’m okay, just suddenly got a headache, I must have scared you, huh?"

Serena Summers shook her head, further solidifying her decision to take Adrian Holt back to the Imperial Capital.

"You wait here, I’ll go downstairs and buy you a bottle of water, I’ll be right back."

Adrian Holt wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but before he could speak, Serena had already run off.

He sat on a mall bench, tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose, and pondered over the events of the past two years.

When he awoke from a car accident two years ago, the first person he saw was X.Dr. Could it be that something had been tampered with back then?

Why hadn’t he noticed anything over these two years?

Or... was that car accident even real?

Countless questions whirled in Adrian Holt’s mind, like a dense, tangled net that trapped him, leaving him unable to escape.

Soon, Serena Summers returned with the water, panting as she stood in front of Adrian Holt.

The girl’s delicate, fair hands tightly held a bottle of mineral water, and the light blue bottle made her hands look even more tender, the veins clearly visible.

Adrian Holt’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he extended his hand to take the bottle, "Thank you."

His fingers accidentally brushed against Serena’s soft, delicate fingertips, causing his heart to tremble.

Just then, a sharp and malicious voice came from not too far away, "Serena Summers, Lucas Shaw is barely cold in his grave, and you dare to have an affair with another man! How can you justify yourself to Lucas?"

He looked up and saw a woman in a teal cheongsam approaching fiercely.

The woman was carrying a pearl purse in one hand and a shopping bag in the other, her eyes filled with disgust when she looked at Serena.

Having investigated all members of the Shaw family, he naturally recognized at once that this woman was Lucas Shaw’s mother, Elena Ryan.

It was said that ever since Lucas Shaw was born, Elena Ryan didn’t like her son.

Lucas Shaw had been kidnapped nineteen years ago, and she had a hand in it.

Elena Ryan only knew that Serena Summers was close to a man but failed to clearly see who that man really was.

She stormed over, her gaze at Serena Summers as if spitting fire, "Serena Summers, you curse of a star, you have completely disgraced the Shaw family!"

She did not hold back when speaking, thus her words attracted the attention of many onlookers.

They noticed Elena Ryan’s words, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

What?

This handsome man and beautiful woman are not boyfriend and girlfriend?
