Tristan leaned in and whispered to Bella, "Let’s get out of here, my wife."
She responded to him with a weak "Mhmm..."
Hearing her barely audible voice was like hearing someone who had lost the strength to speak, causing Tristan to feel even more worried about her.
He put his hands on her shoulder to make her look into his eyes.
"You must have felt weak with all the adrenaline rush now gone. Would you mind if I carry you in my arms?" he asked worriedly.
He could feel Bella’s body still shaking, and he also saw her shock still lingering in her eyes, but she tried to hide it.
Bella suddenly flinched at his words. She clutched Tristan’s hands, trying to balance her feet—somehow, she felt her knees go weak like they were slowly turning to jelly. Her adrenalin had left her entirely now that she was safe.
The fact that this is the first time she has had the chance to use all the techniques she learned in real-life situations since practicing weird martial arts from her master in Sweden might also made her exhausted.
This is also the first time she has used the gun to shoot the real, breathing target: humans.
When she was in a critical situation earlier, Bella didn’t feel nervous at all. Instead, she made every move with confidence, shooting and beating the gangsters. Her adrenalin indeed occupied and energized her mind and body.
However, now...
After everything was over, she saw Tristan before her eyes; her alertness and vigilance were gone and replaced by worry and nervousness. And it swallowed her.
But Bella still has some energy left to stand and walk on her own. So she shook her head while smiling faintly at him. "Thank you, Tristan. I think I can walk perfectly by myself," she answered, but then she suddenly remembered something.
Previously, she had been too busy dealing with gangsters and had forgotten about Leo. She turned around to find him, afraid he was in pain.
She felt relieved when she saw Leo standing a few steps away from her. "Leo….Are you alright?" she asked in worry.
Leo was rendered speechless when he saw the worries through Bella’s eyes. ’Did this girl think I’m that weak? Why worry about me?’ He wondered, feeling amused.
He smiled, scratching his head, "I’m fine... thanks for your concern about me, Boss."
"Thank God you’re alright, Leo..." Bella smiled before continuing, "Leo, I won’t be returning to the office after all this unpleasant incident; I’m going home with my husband."
"Sure, Boss, don’t worry about anything. I will take care of everything in the office..." Leo said. He felt relieved that this incident was finally over without them getting hurt.
Then, Leo looked at Tristan and said, "Boss Tristan, your wife hasn’t eaten anything. You better feed her now, or she will faint."
Instantly, Tristan’s face turned dark, annoyed with the gangsters who attacked his wife, causing her to miss lunch.
"Thank you, Leo..." Tristan said while taking Bella’s hand. He nodded slightly to Leo, then walked away from the scene with Bella beside him.
After a few steps, he glanced at her, "What do you want to eat?" he asked gently.
Only now did Bella feel incredibly hungry. She could hear a strange sound in her stomach as if protesting, asking her to eat immediately.
