Chapter271
Heriberto stayed by the bedside. When he saw Iris suddenly wake up covered in sweat, he quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Held tight.
I wished I could embed someone into my own flesh and blood.
“It’s okay, Ira, don’t be scared, don’t be scared…”
Iris was still lost in the bloody dream, shaken and had no idea who the man holding her was.
She didn’t even know she was being held by the man.
She was gasping for air, like she had just died once.
It wasn’t until she heard the man’s low, gentle, soothing voice in her ear that she slowly came out of the dream.
She slowly turned her head to look at the man holding her.
Because she was held too tight, all she saw was the back of the man’s head on one side.
But even just from the back of his head, she knew who the man holding her was.
It was Heriberto.
I didn’t know if she was scared by what happened last night or if she thought of something else, but suddenly, the panic in her eyes was replaced by anger.

She started struggling hard, pushing and shoving.
But the dose she was drugged with last night was too much, so even though she was awake now, her whole body still felt as limp as cooked noodles, and she just couldn’t muster any strength.
“Sorry, Ira, sorry…” “Let go of me!”
In Heriberto’s murmurs, Iris’s angry roar.
But because she was too weak and her voice was hoarse, no matter how angry she got or how loud she yelled, it didn’t have any effect on Heriberto.
Heriberto still held her and didn’t let go.
Iris used all her strength, clenched her fists and kept hitting him, “Let go of me. Heriberto, let go of me-”
Finally, Heriberto felt her struggle and let her go.
“Iris…”
Just as he was watching Iris speak again, Iris raised her hand and slapped him hard.
But she was just way too soft all over, and there wasn’t any strength in her hands.
A slap landed on Heriberto’s face, but there wasn’t a sound.
But even so, the anger and hatred in her eyes were enough to kill Heriberto.
Faced with her scarlet eyes full of hatred, even like she wanted to kill him, Heriberto felt like he was nailed to the spot.

I was so shocked I couldn’t move at all.
But his hands were still holding Iris’s shoulders.
Iris was still struggling hard, twisting and yelling, “Let go of me!”
