Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7

The sound of the helicopter roared overhead.

Everyone in the hospital could hear it.

At this moment, Augustus was holding Kimberly in his arms.

Listening to the sound of the helicopter, he felt deeply uncomfortable.

It was as if something had been hollowed out from his chest, a sharp pain radiating from his heart.

Kimberly acted coy in his arms: “Augustus, the scar on my waist is so ugly. Will you dislike me because of it?”

But in Augustus’s mind flashed the image of the scar on Ophelia’s waist. He had seen it once after her surgery–hideous and long. Ophelia’s skin was extremely fair, making the scar appear even more terrifying.

“Augustus?”

Noticing something was wrong with Augustus, Kimberly wrapped her arms around his neck.

But Augustus pulled her hands away.

“Kim, you should rest well for now. I’ll be back soon.”

At that moment, Augustus was desperate to see Ophelia.

Kimberly’s tears immediately began to fall.

“Augustus, that night when you were drunk and pressed me beneath you, did you ever think about what would happen to me afterward?”

Augustus heard Kimberly bring up their first time.

His eyes darkened.

That night, he had mistaken her for someone else, thinking Kimberly was Ophelia.

And because Kimberly liked to cry, he had been even rougher.

“I won’t go. I’ll take responsibility for you, Kim. But Ophelia and I have ten years of history, and

the Reynolds Group can’t function without her. She’s my greatest support at work.”

Kimberly pouted coquettishly: “Augustus, but I want you to love me, only me.”

The girl’s act of pouting and her tears were effective–Augustus stayed.

Until the sound of the helicopter grew more and more distant, and finally disappeared completely.

After watching Kimberly fall asleep, Augustus said to his assistant, “Once Ophelia finishes updating the data, return the computer to the lab. Kim’s emotions have been unstable these days, so I won’t go downstairs to see Ophelia. Jules has been sent to school. When Kim is discharged,

find the two of them.”

I’ll go

“Yes, sir.”

The assistant went downstairs, but soon called back.

“Mr. Reynolds, Madam and the young master are missing.”

Augustus’s eyes instantly turned icy cold.

“Is Ophelia throwing a tantrum? Ignore her. She’s covered in injuries and will only find a hospital to recover. Once she’s calmed down, she’ll bring Jules back on her own.”

“Yes, sir.”

Augustus truly didn’t take the matter seriously and returned to the ward to take good care of Kimberly.

But half a month passed, and he still hadn’t seen Ophelia come to beg him.

He directly dialed Ophelia’s phone number.

But all he heard was a mechanical voice.

“The number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again later.”

Augustus then called Julian’s smartwatch.

It was the same.

He immediately opened his phone–Julian’s smartwatch could be tracked.

But it showed the location as the hospital rooftop.

Augustus immediately ordered someone to investigate.

The assistant began to look into what had happened half a month ago.

The surveillance footage showed Ophelia taking Julian and the computer directly to the top floor.

They left by helicopter.

In an instant, Augustus was so furious he smashed his phone.

“Find her! She’s covered in injuries, yet she dared to run off with our son.‘

“Mr. Reynolds, Madam is weak and can’t have gone far. If I get any news about Madam and the young master, I’ll report to you immediately.”

Augustus said coldly, “Just report to me when you find them. I want her to beg me on her knees.”

“Yes, sir.”

Augustus was absolutely furious.

When he saw Kimberly appear on the rooftop, looking both delicate and pale, he immediately walked over, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped Kimberly tightly in it.

Kimberly looked at Augustus with tearful eyes.

“Augustus.”

But Augustus was still full of anger, the veins on his forehead bulging, unable to calm down after Ophelia’s escape.

Kimberly stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

But Augustus suddenly turned his head away.

His deep eyes stared at Kimberly.

“Kim, stay in the hospital and rest. I have to go to the company to handle some matters.”

Augustus let go of her and then went downstairs.

He even forgot to escort Kimberly downstairs.

Kimberly stood on the rooftop, her face deathly pale, shivering in the biting cold wind.

Just moments ago, she had looked so pitiful, like a white lotus.

Now, she simply wiped away her tears herself.

“Ophelia, you deserve to die. The positions of Augustus and Mrs. Reynolds can only be mine.‘

Augustus had just arrived at the company.

Suddenly, the top floor of the Reynolds Group exploded.

The blast shook the entire building.

In an instant, Augustus looked up at the rooftop.

He saw that it was the research lab that had exploded.

The entire Reynolds Group was filled with the sound of fire alarms.

People were fleeing in all directions.

Augustus’s hands were trembling, his face ashen.

The research lab.

He desperately tried to run inside, but his assistant immediately grabbed him.

“Mr. Reynolds, you can’t go up there. Someone planted a bomb–it’s too dangerous.”

But Augustus was furious.

“Let go! It was the research lab that exploded. Everything in there is the result of ten years of work between Lia and me. It’s all ours!”

The Reynolds Group had fifty–nine floors, and all the elevators had stopped working due to the fire.

Augustus could only take the stairs.

He headed upstairs.

He forced himself to climb up to the research lab.

But the fire was raging.

The assistant used all his strength to hold Augustus back.

But Augustus still tried to rush in.

“Mr. Reynolds, everything is burned. Even if you go in now and die in there, you can’t save any

it.”

Augustus’s steps froze instantly, his eyes filled with pain.

Augustus’s mind was filled with images of Ophelia in the lab.

Every time he fell asleep from exhaustion, Ophelia would still be working on experiments.

Whenever he was frustrated that a data point couldn’t meet his expectations, she would calmly repeat the experiment over and over, telling him to rest and assuring him that when he woke up,

all the data would be correct.

And when he woke up. Ophelia would still be busy.

Her eyes were full of exhaustion, but she would always give him a smile first: “You’re awake. Come and see, it’s all done.”

Augustus clutched his chest, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

In a panic, he rushed to the villa downstairs, the place where he and she had lived for so long.

Augustus ran in, pushed open the door, only to find the house looked brand new, with no trace of their life together.

Even the furniture and the messy family portrait Julian had drawn on the wall were gone.

Everything that belonged to him and her was gone–except for his own things, which were left in a corner, there was nothing else.

Even the curtains they had chosen together had been torn down.

Augustus’s face turned deathly pale as he struggled to breathe.

He clutched his chest.

He gasped for air, over and over.

Every step he took was agony.

He went from room to room, searching.

There was not a single thing left.

Nothing of Ophelia and Julian’s remained–not even a scrap

of

paper.

Augustus let out a howl of pain.

“Ophelia, you wouldn’t do this. I believe you wouldn’t leave me behind.”

“It’s just Kimberly, just another woman. After all these years together, how could you bear to leave?”

Augustus frantically called Ophelia over and over.

But he received no response.

Ophelia had vanished without a trace.

But she was his wife–he was determined to find her and bring her back.
