Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1116: A Kiss on Her Forehead

Looking at Mrs. Thatcher kneeling in front of her, Dianna quickly tried to help her up, "Mrs. Thatcher, what are you doing? Please get up!"

"Dianna, I beg you, Yuric is determined to marry you. He really likes you. He was constantly calling your name just now. He is the only son of the Thatcher family. If his leg becomes disabled or if any accident happens, I... I wouldn’t want to live either. I might as well just end it all!" Mrs. Thatcher cried, tears streaming down her face.

Mr. Thatcher and Jodie Young came over, and Jodie grabbed Dianna’s hand, "Dianna, what are you hesitating for? Yuric is still lying in the operating room. He’s waiting for just one word from you. One word from you could save him. Do you really want to let him die without helping?"

Dianna stood silently, and the passersby in the corridor looked over, pointing at her,

"This girl looks so pretty, how can she be so cold-hearted?"

"You may not have killed Boren, but Boren died because of you. Your hands are stained with blood too." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Dianna looked at Mr. Thatcher with a heavy expression and Mrs. Thatcher crying uncontrollably, then at Jodie Young’s reproachful face and the glaring red light of the operating room. She then said, "I’ll go in and see Yuric."

Dianna walked into the operating room.

...

The operating room was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant and blood. Yuric lay on the operating table, and the doctor next to him advised with difficulty, "Young Master Thatcher, we need to proceed with the surgery quickly. Otherwise, you’ll really lose your leg."

Yuric’s face was covered in blood, and his eyes showed a stubborn determination, "I won’t have the surgery, unless..."

"Yuric." Dianna’s clear and melodious voice came through.

Yuric froze, then turned his head and saw Dianna.

Dianna walked over. She hadn’t expected such a severe car accident just after their parting at the bar. The Thatcher and Young families were long-time friends, and Mrs. Thatcher had always treated her well. Though Dianna had a cool nature, she never forgot those who were kind to her.

Dianna came to Yuric’s side, "Yuric, you need surgery."

Yuric said, "Alright, but only if you agree to marry me, Dianna."

"Yuric, even if I marry you, my heart will never belong to you. Why do you insist?"

"Heh, Dianna, and what about you? Knowing that man doesn’t want you, why do you still love him?"

Dianna furrowed her beautiful eyebrows.

"Dianna, even if I can’t have your heart, I must have you with me. I want you by my side forever." Yuric stubbornly declared.

Dianna was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I promise you."

...

Cain Shaw was among the first to learn about Yuric’s car accident, and he rushed to the accident scene.

"Master Cain," a subordinate ran up.

Cain Shaw looked at the smashed luxury car, speaking in a low voice, "What happened? Didn’t I tell you to follow Yuric? How did he still end up in a car accident?"

The subordinate replied nervously, "Master Cain, I was indeed following Yuric the whole time, but he was too emotional. I followed him when he got into the car. At first, he was fine, but for some reason, he seemed agitated and suddenly lost control, recklessly running a red light."

Cain Shaw pressed his thin lips together, then got into the car and drove straight to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital corridor, the doors of the operating room had just opened. Yuric was being pushed out, and the doctor took off his mask and said, "The surgery was very successful. Young Master Thatcher’s leg is saved, but we still need to be mindful of the recovery process."

Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher were relieved, and the nurses pushed the still-anesthetized Yuric into the VIP ward.

Cain Shaw wanted to step forward, but just then, he heard Jodie Young say, "This is wonderful, Dianna. This time you and Yuric have definitely seen true feelings in adversity. Yuric has turned the corner, and your Aunt Thatcher and I will pick an auspicious date for your engagement to Yuric."

Engagement...

Cain Shaw’s steps halted, he lifted his gaze, his eyes falling on Dianna.

Is she going to be engaged?

Dianna kept her head down, making it difficult to see what she was thinking.

Jodie continued, "Dianna, the quicker you and Yuric get engaged, the better. Although it feels rushed, I will tailor the most beautiful wedding dress for you and prepare the grandest engagement party. The union of the Thatcher and Young families will surely create a sensation in City of Crestfall."

Saying this, Jodie took Dianna’s small hand, "This is the best, girlfriend. Mom hopes you have ordinary happiness."

Dianna looked at Jodie, and after a long while, said, "I understand."

Cain Shaw also understood; Dianna is really going to get engaged to Yuric. She has agreed to the marriage.

As night deepened, Dianna did not leave. She stayed in the VIP ward because everyone was afraid Yuric would want to see her first upon waking up.

When everyone else had left, Cain Shaw emerged from the shadows. He pushed open the door to the VIP ward and walked in.

Yuric was still asleep, and Dianna had fallen asleep at the side of his bed.

Cain Shaw approached Dianna; she was asleep with her head resting on her arm. Her pristine black hair tucked behind her snow-white ear, revealing half of her oval face. As she slept, she appeared softer, more tranquil.

Cain Shaw slowly raised his hand, his fingertip landing on her cheek.

In the dimly lit ward, Cain Shaw, tall and slender, stood there, his rough fingertip gently caressing her tender white cheek, unable to let go.

In her sleep, Dianna seemed to sense something. She didn’t awaken but moved her face, snuggling against his fingers like a kitten enamored with its master.

Cain Shaw’s hardened heart softened completely, becoming a muddled mess of emotions.

He had always been afraid to get close, fearing he might lose control.

Over the years, she was the only thing he ever wanted.

But he couldn’t give her happiness.

For people like them, emotions were a luxury; they couldn’t afford to indulge.

Now, was she really going to be engaged to Yuric?

Was she going to belong to someone else?

Cain Shaw slowly bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

...

The next day, Dianna awoke.

She sat up in confusion, looking around the VIP ward, and saw there was no one else but her and Yuric.

Dianna raised her hand, touching her face. Had she been dreaming last night? She felt like a hand had touched her face in her sleep.

It seemed she must have been dreaming.

Dianna wanted to get up, but just then, the blanket on her shoulder slipped off. She paused; who had covered her with the blanket?

At this moment, Yuric on the bed slowly opened his eyes, awakening. He weakly called out, "Dianna."

...

Yuric had awakened, and with the meticulous care of doctors and nurses, his body was healing quickly. The news of the Thatcher and Young families’ union had also been announced. Mrs. Thatcher and Jodie Young swiftly chose an auspicious date set for next week, to prepare a grand engagement party for Yuric and Dianna.

The wedding photoshoots for Yuric and Dianna were also scheduled. On this day, the two of them flew to the Isle of Flora for their wedding photoshoot, but unexpectedly, they ran into someone familiar.
