Chapter 115

Chapter 115

Aaron was convicted of intentional wounding for intentionally injuring someone while protecting Kate

and sentenced to eight years in prison.

During her college years, Kate visited him countless times in prison, but the prison guards always

coldly responded with, “He doesn’t want to see you”

The last time was after her college graduation when she got a job offer from a company and wanted

him to be the first one she shared the good news with.

As she nervously stood outside the visiting room, she heard the heavy sound of the iron door and saw

Aaron looking disheveled on the other side of the transparent partition.

Her tears couldn’t stop falling.

“Don’t cry,” these were his first and last words to her. “It’s not worth shedding tears for someone like

me.”

After he finished speaking, he gave her a deep look, then got up and walked back to the iron gate.

Kate desperately pounded on the transparent partition, but the prison guard stopped her. Shortly after,

she received news from inside.

TThe prison guard solemnly told her that Aaron said not to come see him anymore, to act as if they

didn’t know each other.

There was a buzzing sound in Kate’s ear, and her mind went blank,

However, after she left, Aaron fell seriously ill in prison and almost lost his life. When he was sick and

groggy, Kate’s warm laughter and the gloomy face of the club leader alternately appeared in front of

him.

“Aaron, you said that you would protect me for a lifetime. Keep your word!”

“Ah, Wilson, as long as you can get this shipment out, I’ll share 30% of your reward!”

“Aaron, I am going to college and I want to go to London. If you don’t want to continue your studies,

how about working there? Then we can be together forever!”

“Heh, I remember you have a girlfriend? Wilson, if you don’t do this, I’ll find someone else. But I can’t

let down my brothers, so I’ll have to sacrifice your girlfriend and let them have some fun!”

Aaron’s brows knitted together as big beads of sweat came out of his forehead.

“Don’t hurt her…I don’t allow anyone to hurt her!”

He had said that he would protect her for the rest of his life. He was a man who kept his promises and

would not break his promise.

But the premise of protecting her was to be alive.

Intentional injury might get him a sentence of ten or eight years, but once caught for drug trafficking,

considering the weight of that batch of goods, he would undoubtedly face a dead end. He knew that

Kate’s stepbrother had offended the leader of the gang, so he used that opportunity to stab him,

leaving him permanently disabled.

In this way, the gang leader, in return for his loyalty and imprisonment, wouldn’t trouble Kate anymore.

It was worth it to trade her eight years for her safety.

He exchanged his eight years for her safety, which was worth it.

My Husband & Secret Hillion

Chapter 115

“I want to stay alive… to protect her,” Aaron mumbled and smiled dazedly, “protect her for a lifetime.”

In the kitchen. Josh was cooking the porridge.

Dominic went downstairs and bought some beer, seeing him standing there in a daze, wanting to

comfort him but not knowing what to say.

He walked in and handed him a can of beer.

The two of them smiled at each other and sat on the sofa in the living room. After a long silence, Josh

smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice. “Did you guys… already know about this person?”

Dominic was startled and replied in a deep voice, was taken aback and replied in a deep voice. “It’s all

in the past, no need to dwell on it too much.”

“I also want to treat it as the past,” Josh sighed lightly, “but in Kate’s heart, it’s impossible to move

01…”

Dominic frowned.

He understood Josh; he was not a petty man. He wouldn’t care about Kate’s past and only wanted to

embrace a future with her.

However, if someone’s heart hasn’t completely let go of the past, how can the new person feel at

ease?

“That man is involved in the underworld,” Dominic paused and said in a low voice, “He’s like a rat that

scurries in the shadows and avoids the light.”

Josh looked up at him.

“And you’re a doctor,” he continued. “You can hold Kate’s hand and walk under the sun generously. You

can give her a stable life. From this point alone, you have already won.

“Really?” Josh managed to force a smile. “Yes, I’m a doctor, but I can’t heal her.”

Dominic wanted to pat his shoulder, but his hand stopped in mid-air and took a while before finally

coming down.

That night, when they returned home, Jane leaned against Dominic’s chest, and they lazily lay on the

big bed together.

It was late at night, and she couldn’t fall asleep. The dazzling starlight seeped through the window,

illuminating the dimly lit bedroom. Jane blinked her big eyes and looked at the night sky, as if she

hadn’t peacefully enjoyed the night view like this for a long time.

Dominic was afraid that she would be hot, so he fanned her gently with a small fan while staring at her

delicate and lovely profile. His heart stirred with a hint of warmth.

She lazily turned over in his arms, facing him, and gave him a sweet smile.

A lump formed in Dominic’s throat, as a surge of heat seemed to rise within him.

Jane noticed the sweat forming on his nose and felt a bit embarrassed, thinking about how she rarely

used air conditioning to save on electricity. “If you’re feeling too hot, just turn on the air conditioning. It

won’t cost much.”

“Hmm… no need,” he licked his lips.

His heat and the “heat” she was referring to were clearly two different things…

Chapter 115

His throat rolled, and he fixed his gaze on her fair neck and slightly parted cherry lips. He smiled, and

his large hand couldn’t help but explore inside her clothes, determined to chase his release properly

this time.

At that moment, however, she heard the little woman sigh.

“What’s wrong?” He stopped his actions abruptly.

Jane seemed to be preoccupied, her attention completely diverted from the matter at hand.

He continued to take advantage of the situation without any change of expression, keeping his hand

where it was.

“Honey, what are you sighing about?”

“I’m thinking about Katie and Aaron.”

“Oh…” He twitched the corner of his mouth, “Isn’t it over between them? Why are you thinking about

them?”

Why are you thinking about them right now? Think about your husband!

Dominic kept licking his lips.

“I just feel like they won’t end like this,” Jane’s bright eyes looked at him, “Katie told me their story, do

you want to hear it?”

–

“Honey, don’t you want to listen?

Dominic looked at her. Seeing that she had such a strong desire to talk, he did not want to disappoint

her.

So, for the first time in more than the twenty years of his life, Dominic found out how to force a smile

despite his true feelings.

He awkwardly pulled the corners of his mouth up, and with great effort, he managed to say, “I want

to listen.”

Jane s beamed happily and snuggled closer to him, recounting the story. In fact, Dominic already knew

most of it, but to go along with her, he nodded, smiled, frowned, andadded a few comments from time

to time.

He wanted to let her know that he was listening carefully.

And he genuinely empathized with her.

After who knows how long, Jane finally finished telling the story and looked up at him, her big eyes twi

nkling like stars.

“Husband, what do you think?”

“Hmm?” He snapped back to reality, trying hard to recall what she had said.

He cleared his throat and fell silent for a moment.

In fact, after he learned that Aaron was in prison for hurting someone to protect Kate, he had some

respect for this person.

Aaron must have mistaken him for Dan Murphy and kept coming to trouble him, all for the sake of

protecting Kate, right?

Aman with a sense of responsibility is a good thing, but it’s a shame if this sense of responsibility is not

understood by others.

Chapter 115

“I think … Aaron is not a ruthless or unprincipled person.” Dominic’s eyes darkened, “Otherwise, he

would not have done so much for Kate.”

“Is that so?” Jane bit her lip. “But I don’t like the way he treats you! You’re even siding with him

now?”

“Honey, what kind of grudge did you two have in the past?”
