Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: The Antidote

The bodyguard jumped in shock, furious that someone had barged in and ruined his fun. "Who dares to ruin my business?"

Logan shot him a cold glance. Jack responded by slamming a punch straight into the guard’s stomach.

"Argh! You—you can’t do this, I’m Old Mr. Reid’s bodyguard! You—AH!"

"Take him out."

Jack and Jaxon exchanged a quick glance and efficiently dragged the man away. In moments, the warehouse was cleared, leaving only Logan and Selina inside.

Logan took a deep breath. A wave of pain surged through him at the sight before him.

Her coat was torn, her cheek swollen, and her wrists were bleeding.

"You’re safe now. It’s over."

Selina was groggy, her mind clouded by the drug. She only knew she was safe now.

It felt like she was back in that snowy night four years ago, when she and Logan saved each other. She just knew he’d come.

Shivering from the heat, Selina murmured, "Logan..."

Her eyes held a look Logan had never seen before—soft, trusting, dependent.

Maybe it was the drug affecting her mind, but Selina seemed confused about where she was. She instinctively leaned on the only person she trusted.

"Logan, I don’t feel good..."

Her doe-like eyes looked up at him, filled with helplessness. Logan’s throat tightened. "Where does it hurt?"

"Here... and here..."

Selina kept gesturing but couldn’t clearly explain what she was feeling. Frustrated, she tugged her clothes halfway off and shoved his hand against her chest, voice desperate.

"It hurts right here..."

Logan felt the warmth beneath his fingers. He tried to pull his hand back, but she held it tightly.

Taking a deep breath, he said with restraint, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

Selina shook her head, burning with discomfort. Before Logan could react, she suddenly leaned up and kissed his throat.

"Selina!"

Logan pushed her away, panting. "We’re going to the hospital."

Selina squirmed in frustration, her voice laced with tears. "Logan, are you even a man? What’s wrong with you?!"

Logan shut his eyes tightly. "...Damn it."

At a time like this, any man being questioned like that would break. He took a deep breath, then suddenly leaned in and captured her lips.

"Mmm..."

Selina felt herself growing dizzy from the lack of air—and then, everything went black.

...

Six hours later.

"We managed to reconnect the tendons. The medicine Aiden sent worked well. With proper rest, she won’t suffer any long-term damage," Ethan said.

Logan finally relaxed. "Good."

"She should be awake now. Go check on her."

Ethan paused, then added, "Oh—about the drug. It was pretty strong. If the effects hadn’t been dealt with, it could’ve hurt her physically. So, from a medical standpoint, I’d say... well, you know what I mean."

Logan raised an eyebrow. "You think I’m some kind of beast?"

Ethan clicked his tongue. "It’s not being a beast—it was life-saving treatment. Learn the difference."

Logan opened the door to the hospital room. Selina was watching TV, bored out of her mind. Her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Ethan told me you shot Angelica’s wrist to pieces?"

Logan raised a brow, surprised. After what she’d done while drugged, he didn’t expect her to face him so casually. He thought Mrs. Reid would at least be a little shy.

"She falsely accused you of breaking her wrist. So Grandpa had you kidnapped to take the fall. If her wrist didn’t end up broken, would that have been fair?"

Logan spoke slowly, "The moment I stepped into the warehouse, Mrs. Reid came running over and held onto me like her life depended on it. I was worried about your condition and said I’d take you to the hospital. But then Mrs. Reid said something... do you remember?" frёeωebɳovel.com
