Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 12

Inside the laboratory.

Ophelia saw Ronald coming.

“Why did you want to come here too?”

Julian clapped his little hands with joy.

“I know, I know, it’s because Ronnie missed Mommy, so he came.”

Ronald curled his lips into a smile.

“You little clever one, Jules, have you been reminding your mommy to eat well?”

“Of course I have.”

Ronald lifted his gaze to look at Ophelia.

“Augustus has arrived.”

Ophelia listened calmly to these words.

“Ronald, I divorced him. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Now that you’ve come in, you can never leave again.”

Ronald nodded. “Mm, everything most important to me is here. I won’t go anywhere else from

now on.

Ophelia’s nose twitched instantly, her heart aching with sourness.

After Ronald confessed his feelings, Ophelia didn’t know how to accept him. All those years, her eyes had only been for Augustus, never realizing that Ronald, who grew up with her, had always quietly loved her.

Ophelia leaned into Ronald’s embrace.

“Thank you, Ronnie.”

Ronald felt a pang in his heart. Ever since Ophelia met Augustus, she had stopped calling him by that name, because Augustus wouldn’t allow her to get close to him.

After that, they gradually grew distant.

He also kept to his place.

Augustus woke up in a hospital in New York.

Because of the explosion, his cardrums had been ruptured.

The old man spoke to Augustus, but Augustus couldn’t hear anything.

The old man looked at his grandson, who had actually become deaf.

The doctor came over.

He examined Augustus thoroughly.

“Sir Reynolds, Mr. Reynolds’s eardrums have ruptured, and the inner ear is also damaged. I’m afraid his hearing will not recover. If he wants to hear the outside world, he’ll have to use a cochlear implant.”

Augustus spoke in a hoarse voice: “Grandpa, am I deaf? But I found Ophelia. I have to go.”

Augustus got out of bed and left immediately.

The old man’s people stopped him.

Augustus’s red eyes stared at the old man.

“Don’t stop me, Grandpa. If I lose Ophelia, I won’t want anything else, not even the Reynolds Group.”

Augustus left.

This time, he was fully prepared.

He took a helicopter directly to that place.

But when he arrived on the island again, he couldn’t find the iron door.

If it weren’t for the scorched grass where the explosion had been, Augustus would have thought he was dreaming.

He was in unbearable pain: “Lia, please see me, I’m begging you, please see me.”

But no one responded to Augustus.

The nights on the island were very cold.

The sea breeze blew, making his whole body feel chilly.

Augustus lived in a tent. Fortunately, he had brought plenty of supplies–food and clothing were all prepared.

He took a shovel and dug at the spot where he remembered the door had been.

Inside the laboratory, there was surveillance.

Ophelia stood in front of the monitors, watching Augustus on the ground.

He kept digging, as if he believed that if he found the iron door, he could reach her.

But Augustus didn’t know that the iron door where Ronald had appeared last time was now a thousand meters below the surface; they were all deep under the sea.

All around them was glass, allowing them to see all kinds of creatures in the deep sea.

Julian’s dark eyes watched Augustus.

“Mommy, did Daddy come to find us?”

Ophelia’s voice was very gentle: “Jules, if you want to leave, Mommy will let you go, but Mommy won’t leave for the next thirty years.”

Julian hugged Ophelia.

Tears shimmered in his eyes.

“Mommy, don’t worry. Jules understands what it means to never regret a move. Daddy’s mistakes can’t be forgiven. Whether it’s me or Mommy, we can only move forward. Mommy, turn off Daddy’s video.”

“Okay.”

Ophelia looked at Julian, whose profile had aged so much.

In her mind, she thought of the person she once loved, but it seemed he was no longer the same

person.

Ophelia turned off the screen and began doing experiments with Julian.

Spring passed and autumn came.
