My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 25

With Dr. Jensen’s help and the aid of the best medicine around, Trent’s wounds healed beautifully, and every day, just on the verge of them healing, Liam would send someone to peel them wide open again with a blunt dagger!

Wails of agony echoed through the mansion day after day.

The excruciating pain made Trent want to curl up and die, but he was now paralyzed in all four limbs and had no way of moving at all. He could power through the pain initially, but as the days went by, he finally could not stand it anymore and pleaded for mercy. “I’m sorry… | know what I’ve done… I will never do it again… Please let me go… I’ll give you money in exchange for letting me go… Please…”

However, everyone ignored him. Dr. Jensen continued to tend to him every day, and his wounds continued to be peeled open again and again. Calum even saw to the task himself sometimes and subconsciously stuck the dagger in even deeper at the thought of Jovie not being able to walk again someday.

“Ahhhh-” Trent was finally beginning to go insane from the pain. His wails grew weaker and weaker with each day that passed. He never once imagined that he would be subject to such torture in a city where his family reigned! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Just kill me already! Kill me! I’d rather die… I can’t handle this anymore…” Trent pleaded, staring at Calum. Death was an even more attractive option than being tormented like this.

“Oh no, no, no. What Jovie suffered was far more painful than what you’re going through now. I already told you I’d make you feel her pain a thousand times over! I’m going to keep you alive with my every

power and make you suffer this pain!” Liam sneered.

All of a sudden, Joseph stormed into the room. He glanced at the half- dead Trent lying on the ground and jeered, then turned to Liam and said, “Sir, Mrs. Cole is running a fever, and she’s not making any sense!”

A look of concern crossed Liam’s face. He and Dr. Jensen made their

way to Celena’s room.

“Don’t be afraid, Jovie… Mommy’s here… Mommy’s going to protect you… Liam… I’ll go beg Grandpa for help… He’s going to save you…” Celena was muttering when Liam and Dr. Jensen arrived. She was as pale as a ghost, and her face was drenched in sweat.

Tears brimmed in Liam’s eyes. He could not believe that even at a time like this, all Celena thought about was him and Jovie!

“Get away from me… Get away…” All of a sudden, she began to windmill her arms in front of her as though fighting off an invisible

monster.

Liam was worried she would hurt herself, so he stepped forward and grabbed hold of her arms, then reassured her, “Don’t be scared, Celena. I’m here!”

Celena finally calmed down at the sound of his voice, and her expression relaxed as well. “Liam…”

At the same time, Dr. Jensen stepped forward and put in another IV, then changed the dressing on Celena’s forehead. By the time he was done, a half hour had passed.

Liam sat down by her side and asked, “Dr. Jensen, is the wound on her forehead going to leave a scar?”

He had caught sight of the bloody flesh when Dr. Jensen changed her dressing just now. He turned away, trying to conceal the tears rolling down his face. He could not believe that Celena was even willing to
