The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1556

Darryl continued to turn around to check on Yvette. Her face had become even paler, so he was worried that she would pass out soon.

“Mother Empress.”

Yvette bit her lips and said weakly, “If you don’t want Darryl to take you, I can still… can hold on…” Her voice was soft; she was exhausted.

Yvette felt touched when Darryl offered to take the Empress with him.

However, there was nothing they could have done if the Empress disagreed with that.

“This—”

The Empress was in a dilemma; she could see that Yvette was exhausted. It did not look as if she could hold on for much longer.

However, she could not accept Darryl’s close distance from her if he were to take her with him as he swam toward the island.

Was there a way out of that problem?

The Empress glanced at Darryl arrogantly. “Release my acupoints; I can swim on my own.”

When the four Scope brothers rescued her from the palace, they had sealed her acupoints. They were from the Ice Fire Island, and they had a unique method to seal one’s acupoints. The Empress had tried different ways to unseal them but to no avail.

She thought that Darryl would know how to do it since he had a good relationship with Stella.

She was a Martial Emperor; she would be able to stay afloat even though she did not really know how to swim. However, she would need to unseal her acupoints first.

“Unseal your acupoint? I don’t know how to do it!” Darryl replied without any hesitation.

Darryl might have looked grave when he answered her, but he was amused. He did know how to unseal her acupoints—it was the Reverse Acupoint method. When Eric had caught him, he had also struggled when he tried to unseal his acupoints. He could only escape when Stella told him about the trick.

If it were someone else, perhaps Darryl would have helped them to release their acupoints.

However, he was annoyed with the Empress as she still maintained a proud stance, even when they were in such a difficult situation. Darryl had kept his thoughts to himself out of respect for Yvette, but he could not wait to teach her a lesson.

Darryl felt helpless. He turned toward Yvette and said, “You should go first. I will follow behind you.”

Yvette nodded in agreement as she pushed the Empress toward Darryl. Then she continued to swim toward the island.

Finally, Yvette felt relaxed; she no longer looked pale.

Darryl did not say anything else. He told the Empress to put her arms around his neck and swim close to him.

Gasp!

Darryl sucked in a mouthful of air!

The Empress had a perfect figure. Her body stiffened. Darryl felt as if his heart would jump out of his rib cage due to his anxiety and embarrassment.

It was only a day ago that she had resisted Darryl; she had not wanted to have anything to do with him. She had hated him because of the Emperor’s death.
