Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO - Chapter 792

792: Taste of the same medicine.

792: Taste of the same medicine.

Idris didn’t reply.

He just stood there letting the guilt settle inside him.  “Idris, stop him.

Don’t let him take our daughter away like this.” Catrin forced, thrashing a little to break free from the hold of the man who held her in place.

“She wouldn’t be safe with him.

See what he had done to her.

He had brutally chopped off someone’s fingers and someone’s tongue.

Are we letting such a man take our daughter away?

She won’t be safe with him.

She -”  “Had she been safe with us?” Idris asked her without letting her finish.

His tone was colder than ever.

“With me?

With you?”  Catrin was taken aback.

She paused at the way he looked at her.

With pure hatred.

with true disdain.

“Idris, we … are her parents.

We would never hurt her.

How could you compare us to him?

He …”  “We are her parents,” Idris said, smiling, but that little curve of his lips didn’t carry any warmth; rather, it held his extreme disappointment.

“But she hadn’t even been safe with us.

Neither before nor today.”  “Idris!”  “Catrin, why?” Idris didn’t acknowledge her hiss.

“Why did you do this?

She was our daughter.

How could you do something like that to her?”  “I did it for here, Idris.

I … I just wanted to make her understand and follow what I decided for her.

After all, all my plans and decisions were always for her good.

It was for her -”  “Shut up!” Idris snapped sharply.

“Don’t feign your motives behind the pretence of your love, Catrin.

You never loved her.

Because if you had, then you would have thought a thousand times and still would have dared to do it for real.”  Catrin couldn’t defend herself.

She just stared at Idris with tears in her eyes.

“I know … I know I did something really wrong.

But I understood, Idris.

I understood, and that’s why I wanted to make up to her.

I wanted to -”  “Make up to her?” Idris repeated, his words frigid enough to pierce through the souls.

“Like this?

But drugging her again?

By pushing her into danger again, even knowing that it could take her life?

From where did you get such confidence?

Or was it just that you simply didn’t care?”  Catrin’s brows furrowed in a frown.

“How can I not care, Idris?

I am her mother.

Of course, I care.

I was just seeing the bigger picture.

The picture where we had our daughter was like we had her before.

She would be back to our side and -”  “After what you did, you still expect to be by my side?” Idris scoffed, and that only made Catrin frown deeper.

“Catrin, do you even hear what you are saying.

We are her parents.

You were her mother.

Do you need to make her someone else before loving her the way she deserves, since always?”  “Idris!”  “Don’t!” Idris raised his hand, stopping her.

“Don’t reason your selfishness now.

You didn’t deserve to be her mother.

Never.

It was Arwen’s misfortune that she didn’t get the parents she deserved.

Her mother was never capable of being a mother, and her father … heh!” he scoffed at himself, shaking his head in regret.

“Even I wasn’t any better.

I let her suffer even being around her.”  He couldn’t explain what he was feeling inside at that moment, but it was deep regret.

One he would never be able to unburden himself from.

He was her father, yet he was never there to protect her.  His feet moved as he turned to walk out.  Catrin frowned when he saw him walking out without her.

“Idris!” She called after him, “…

you are leaving me here.

Take me with you.

I want to see Arwen.” Idris paused briefly in his steps, turning to look over his shoulder.

His words were devoid of any emotion … completely indifferent.

“You don’t deserve to come with me, Catrin.

Not after what you dared to do today.”  Catrin was taken aback.

“Idris, you can’t be serious.

You can let that man take our daughter away, even knowing that he didn’t think twice before making people brutally bleed around him.

But you can’t take me to Arwen.

How can you be so ridiculous?”  “I am ridiculous?” Idris turned on his heels to look back at her.

“Catrin, open your eyes and see once again, the man that Arwen chose for herself is not just anyone.

He is a fearless one who doesn’t care who stands in front of him.

As long as it’s for Arwen, he is willing to destroy anyone and everyone who tries to harm her.

And what happened today here was just live evidence for you to see.

But don’t worry, it’s not over yet for you.

You have yet to experience it now.

And for that, you need to stay here.” “Idris!” she said in a tone of disbelief.   However, Idris merely looked at her before darting his gaze towards Tariq, who stood there with a sharp knife in his hand.

Then he turned away and walked out.  Catrin called him again … repeatedly, but he never turned to look back at her.

Her voice was hoarse, but her every call was left unanswered.  When she heard the sound of steps approaching, she dreading-ly turned to look only to see Tariq closing the distance between them.  “What … what are you going to do?

Stay away, I am Arwen’s mother.

She won’t forgive you if you did something like that to me.”  Tariq smirked and shook his head.

“Don’t worry, Ma’am.

We know who you are, and we wouldn’t dare to offend you.

We would just let you taste the same medicine that you made our madam taste.”  Catrin was horrified.

“No!” she shook her head.

“You can’t do that.

Arwen wouldn’t want that.

She would hate you and your boss.”  Tariq paused, and for a second, Catrin thought he faltered.

But the very next second, she saw the corner of his lips curving up again.  “You don’t have to be scared for us, ma’am.

We have been trained in a way where we can take any punishment, even if it’s our death.

We won’t mind suffering in the hands of our lady as long as she is satisfied.”  —– Meanwhile, in the late evening –  Aiden was sitting beside Arwen’s bed, waiting for her to wake up.

Although Jason said that she was better and it wasn’t the drug that was given to her, rather some anaesthesia to prepare her for the procedure, he was still scared.

Scared that she wouldn’t be the same after waking up.  His eyes were fixed on her face, and he didn’t turn to even look when Jason entered the ward to check.

He just sensed his presence and asked, “How long will it take for her anaesthesia to wear off?

She hasn’t woken up yet.”  Jason understood his friend’s worry.

But there was nothing he could do to ease it with his assurances.

Staring at Arwen in an unconscious state, he slowly explained, “The anaesthesia injected into her wasn’t a simple one.

It was meant to prepare her for the procedure, so it was quite strong.

The effect will linger in her system for longer than usual.

But you don’t have to worry.

As I said, you arrived at the right time and they weren’t able to give her the drug.”  Aiden didn’t say anything.

Even though he reached her before she was injected with the drug, he was still late.

She had to suffer the pain and fear all alone.  The mere thought of it made his fingers clench into fists.

He wanted to go back and make everyone who was the cause of it suffer at his hands.

But he held that urge within.

He could bear to leave her now when he was again on the verge of losing her.  Jason stood there silently for a while before he turned to look at the other corner of the room.

His gaze was no longer curious when he watched Reese this time.

He now knew who he was and could guess how he was so well aware of the drug that’s still unknown to the world.  He walked towards him, his steps slow but purposeful.

When he was finally standing close to Reese, he slowly asked, “You hid your true origin all your life, scared that people would judge you on where you come from.

But for Arwen,” he paused, his gaze briefly going to look back at Arwen, “you didn’t think before staking your identity.

Your thoughts about her don’t seem as simple as a doctor-patient relationship.”  Reese didn’t explain.

He just looked at him, keeping his calm.  Jason didn’t force him to answer as well.

He just watched him for a moment before asking one last thing that would have been enough to draw the line if needed.  “Did you reveal your true identity to her?

If not, even if you helped her in finding the truth, you have betrayed her.” His lips slowly curved up in a gentle smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

“She deserved to know who you were and how you were so aware of her situation.”  Reese paused at that, and his jaw tightened slightly.

But still, he didn’t speak.

He just stood there, waiting for Arwen to wake up
