The wall lamp was dim, making the man’s silhouette a little blurry, but she still recognized him as Walker Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She furrowed her brow and asked in a low, unhappy voice, \"What are you doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached for her phone and glanced at the time—three in the morning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he crazy?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Standing here in the middle of the night scaring people instead of sleeping?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wounds hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s voice was low. He sat directly on the edge of her bed and said, \"You can apply my medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed sat up, running a hand through her hair. \"I thought you said you didn’t need it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant handed her the medical kit and then took off his shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Chloe Reed notice he was wearing a tank top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off the black tank top. The white gauze was stained with blood, and he had the smell of blood on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed stared blankly for a second before asking, \"Did you tear your wounds open yourself instead of sleeping?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant looked at her, his sharp eyes dark and deep, but he said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pursed her lips, moved closer, and began to unwrap the blood-stained gauze from his torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the shallower wounds had scabbed over and were healing well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some of the deeper wounds were still oozing blood, and a faint metallic scent permeated the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed began to clean away the blood, disinfect the wounds, and apply the medicine...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t say a word the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After re-wrapping his torso in clean gauze and taping it down, she moved to get off the bed from his side to go to the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s entire body went rigid. \"Let go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant tightened his arms, burying his face in the crook of her neck. His breath fanned across her skin as he mumbled, \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s fingers pressed against his deepest wound. \"If you don’t let go,\" she said, \"this place is going to need stitches again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re so heartless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant mumbled, the grip of his arms loosening slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe’s pounding heart began to calm, but in the next second, he suddenly gripped the back of her head and kissed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s breathing grew ragged, and her fingers immediately pressed down hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t even flinch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kissed her lips, tracing their soft curve and drinking in her sweetness like a man dying of thirst drinking poison. Even as excruciating pain flared from his wound, he still didn’t let her go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fiery breath filled her mouth, his tongue tangling with hers as his kisses deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His kisses moved lower, brushing against her neck, her collarbone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s breathing was in disarray. His dominant aura was overwhelming, making her limbs go weak and forcing tears from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was pushed down onto the bed, her fingers now too weak to continue pressing. His hot breath swept over her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walker Grant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe cried out his name in desperation, her hands pushing against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man kissing her paused. His searing breath burned her skin, their ragged gasps tangling together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not living here anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed shoved him away, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant took two steps forward and grabbed her hand. \"You can’t leave my side. You’ll be in danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed stared straight ahead, her breathing gradually steadying. She suddenly asked, \"This was your real goal all along, wasn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The previous deal meant nothing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His real goal was just to get her to come back. And as for what would happen after she returned, who could say for sure?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grip on her arm suddenly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant yanked her toward him, his sharp, dark eyes fixed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>",677,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","c91c66fb01cfd5ad1e46419f4c7dfeea819852af13d7860681c4ca449875ab48","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-297","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-296",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
