Bittersweet Redemption

Chapter 3 Saved Her

At this point, Whoever was calling was a savior for Wrynn.

Trembling, she hurriedly answered the phone. Before she could speak, a deep male voice came from the other end: “Wrynn Vitality?”

Wrynn felt that the voice was familiar, but couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

“No matter who you are… as long as you can save me, I will r…reward you…" Wrynn said with pain in her voice.

The man on the other end of the call became silent for a while.

“Where are you?” He finally speaks up.

“I am…" Before Wrynn could finish her sentence, the door to the room suddenly opened and the faces of Yukiye and Raymie appeared in front of her.

“You dare to make a phone call!” Raymie saw the phone in her hand and rushed over, snatching it and forcefully throwing it on the ground, stomping on it harshly.

“I knew I heard it right.” Yukiye said. She was wearing Wrynn's nightgown with no shame or whatsoever.

“Y…you will both pay for this!” Wrynn shouted, glaring at the two of them as if her eyes were sharp blades.

She had underestimated them, otherwise, how could they have pushed her to this point?

“I will make you beg for your life and beg for death.” Raymie said coldly, and suddenly crouched down on the ground, grabbing Wrynn's chin and forcing her mouth open to feed her a pill.

The pill dissolved instantly, making it impossible to throw up even if she wanted to.

Her thoughts quickly became scattered. What did Raymie feed her? Was he planning to kill her by himself?

Just then, the door flew open and a man with a tall and huge build walked into the room.

Wrynn didn't know if she was dead or alive, but she saw the unknown man kicking Raymie away and carrying her out of the room.

**

Wrynn woke up only to notice her surroundings were all white. No doubt she must be in the hospital, since she could smell drugs and injections around her.

Memories of what happened before she fell into a coma immediately flooded her mind.

The brutal things Raymie and Yukiye did to her were vivid in her mind. She was trembling with anger and her eyes were bloodshot. She would never let those two despicable people off the hook!

“Awake?” A pleasant male voice sounded nearby.

Wrynn took her gaze towards the direction of the voice and saw Zandon Majestic sitting by the window, wearing only a white shirt and black trousers, lazily gazing at her.

“Why are you here?” Wrynn asked subconsciously.

“Why can't I be here?” Zandon narrowed his eyes.

“How about this, want me to put on pants, so you'll recognize me?” He said with a smile.

Wrynn pressed her lips together.

“Thank you for saving me,” she muttered.

“Ah, I recall that on the phone, you said that if I saved you, you would reward me."

“How much money do you want?”

“Do you think I need money?” he asked in return.

Wrynn tried to crease her brow but couldn't because she didn't have the strength to do that.

Besides money, she had nothing to offer Zandon Majestic.

“Then what do you want?”

“I want you,” he said plainly.

Wrynn was startled, looking at Zandon in astonishment. After regaining her state of bewilderment, she questioned him: "Are you kidding? You want me? I'm a married old woman, sure you're okay with that?”

“If being 25 years old is considered old, then I should be an old man," Zandon said indifferently.

Wrynn furrowed her eyebrows.

“Did you do a background check on me?”

“With Vitality Design's reputation, I don't need to check,” Zandon snorted.

Wrynn Vitality was a well-known young designer at MUNICH, being only 25 years old and becoming the apprentice of the famous designer Brook. She was very successful, even surpassing her husband. Coupled with her workaholic nature, it was no wonder Raymie had an affair.

After all, a woman like Yukiye Moore would indeed make a man feel protective.

“I want to divorce Raymie,” Wrynn said coldly.

“I now have enough evidence to prove that Raymie had an affair and physically abused me.”

She was lucky that she had installed cameras and recorded everything Raymie Hughes did to her yesterday.

“Divorce is fine…" Zandon coughed lightly, “but he might end up crippled.”

Wrynn instantly went wide in shock.

“Why?” She asked.

Zandon was about to speak when a woman suddenly rushed into the ward, accompanied by her wailing voice: “Are you okay? That bastard, Raymie dared to lay a hand on you! I won't spare him, I'll beat him until he drops down dead!”

Wrynn was taken aback and grabbed Qirat's hand.

“Why are you here?”

“Someone called me and said you were here…" Qirat's eyes were still red from crying. When she saw Zandon in the room, she widened her eyes in astonishment.

“Did I enter the wrong ward?”

“I'll leave first, call me if you need anything.”

Zandon said as he stood up, picked up the coat hanging on the chair's armrest, and walked out without glancing at Qirat's direction.

After the ward door closed, Qirat exclaimed, “What the hell, how did you end up here with Mr. Majestic! I knew there was something strange about you asking about Mr. Majestic yesterday. Did you seduce him?!”

“Forget about that for now.” Wrynn was still in pain, and she earlier didn't want to scream in front of Zandon for embarrassment's sake.

“Can you check if these injuries on my body can be considered evidence of domestic violence?”Qirat took a closer look at the injuries on Wrynn's body. Not only was her face injured, but her body was covered in bruises, and there were a few places where blood could be seen. It was clear that she had been beaten mercilessly.

“If this doesn't count as anything, I don't think anything else does?” Qirat said angrily.

“I will go to the doctor later to get a medical report, and you just need to adjust the video, and everything will be fine!”

“Good…" Wrynn let out a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Qirat looked at her injuries once more and said with heartache, “I told you not to marry Raymie Hughes back then, you insisted on it. Just a few years, this is what happened. I don't know what's going on with your love life… First, it was Oras Cooper, and now Raymie Hughes…"

Qirat rambled on without realizing that she had mentioned a name that hadn't been mentioned for a long time. It was only after she saw the stiff expression on Wrynn's face that she belatedly reacted. She regretted mentioning Wrynn's ex-boyfriend in front of her.

“Wrynn, tell me the truth… Do you still have feelings for Oras Cooper?”

Wrynn lowered her gaze, making it difficult to see what she was thinking. After a while, Qirat noticed Wrynn raised her head up instantly.

“What does it matter if I still have feelings for him? We have both been married for so many years.”

Qirat bit her lip and said, “Don't you intend to tell your mom about this? As long as you say the word, she'll definitely help you.”

“She is now Mrs. Cooper, not Mrs. Vitality.” Wrynn raised her gaze up with a smile on her face. Though she felt uncomfortable in her stomach and now, thinking about the medicine Raymie fed her yesterday, it was probably a gastric lavage. But that wasn't the reason she was smiling. It was the fact that she was able to gather enough evidence against Raymie.

Qirat had wanted to bring up a topic but seeing Wrynn's satisfied expression, she swallowed her words.

Wrynn  had originally planned to wait until her injuries had healed a bit before going back to get evidence. But within two days, while she was in a coma, she and her studio suddenly made the headlines.

The newly designed drawings she had come up with were first published by someone who had stolen them and unfortunately Wrynn was accused of plagiarism.

Qirat didn't know how to bring this up in front of Wrynn, knowing this will make her feel dispirited and feel like all her efforts to get even with Raymie had gone down the drain.
