Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 1969

When Seamus returned, he noticed someone had tampered with his room. His expression changed instantly, and he turned sharply toward the other two bodyguards and erupted in anger.

The two were scolded so harshly that they stood still with their heads lowered, afraid to speak.

As he calmed down, he suddenly spotted Persephone standing at the door. Seeing her cold demeanor and the smirk on her face—a smile that echoed the air of superiority ingrained in the Hamerton genes —his heart jolted.

He restrained his temper and respectfully addressed her, "Miss."

"That was quite a forceful call. Seems like your injury is almost healed, right?"

Persephone's calm voice was cryptic. "Since you're recovered, let's go back to Centrolis.

Give me your phone. I'll call my parents to send someone to pick us up."

"Miss..." Seamus gestured, asking the other two to leave first. He sat beside Persephone but moved on the nearby carpet after some thought.

Looking up at her, he said, "Miss, don't trouble them for such a trivial matter."

"Trouble?"

"Not just trouble." Seamus' expression turned serious. "We're being watched now.

Otherwise... we wouldn't have failed to leave twice. If you make that call and those people listen in..."

"I'm their daughter. Can't I make a phone call to them?" Persephone's gaze held a hint of scrutiny. "Since I arrived here, I lost my phone and haven't contacted them... I need them to know my situation, and they'll find a way to bring me back!"

"I've been in contact with them!" Seamus interjected. "I told them you're doing well here."

"But I'm not!"

"Miss—"

"Seamus." Persephone's gaze was commanding. "Why do you keep stopping me from contacting my parents?"

"I..." Seamus paused but quickly regained his composure and covered the deep wound on his chest. Whenever Persephone saw this wound previously, she would be deeply filled with remorse. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Miss, could you... get the medicine for me?"

Persephone's heart clenched. Seamus' pale face in pain was crumbling her defenses bit by bit.

After a moment of hesitation, she fetched the hemostatic pills and bandages from the cabinet, handing them all to him. Unlike before, she didn't personally feed him the medicine or help him with the bandage.

Seamus wanted to call out to her, but she turned and dashed off.

The two bodyguards entered anxiously and looked at Seamus with an inquiring gaze.

"No need to go after her." Seamus' expression was dark as he slowly stood up from the floor. "She's just being childish and needs a moment to calm down."

"Will she be okay?"

"She's grown up. What could happen to her?!" Seamus seethed with anger. "It's you two. Figure out whose side you're on!"

The two men trembled, looking at each other with fear.

"But Seamus..." After a pause, one of them stepped forward. "Do you really think she... is still a child?"

Seamus narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint rising from their depths.

Persephone dashed downstairs in one breath.
