Runaway Groom (Groom Series Book 1) (English Translation)

Chapter 4

Dedicated to Israthrichi

Chapter 4: Room 108

I can't believe that I almost died. Luckily, I was rescued by my 'loving' husband.

The hug lasted for a minute. I almost ran out of air because of how tight his hug was. I'm glad he broke away from the hug before it happened.

It was only then when I noticed the number of people staring at us. We were surrounded by different kinds of tourists, gossiping about what just happened. It's embarrassing, really. Even Hughie who looks so worried is here. I was just wondering why his lips are swelling with a hint of blood.

I was shocked with the next thing that my husband did. As if carrying a very fragile possession, he lifted me, bridal style. I heard how a few people were amazed by what he did.

"How sweet!" someone from the crowd shouted.

I know that I am heavy, but he did not seem to mind. It was as if I wasn't heavy at all. His shirt and hair was wet. If I am not mistaken, he rescued me. His slightly disheveled hair added to his hotness, especially with his angry yet concerned face.

I was overwhelmed with the attention he's giving me right now. From my opinion, I don't see the need for him to carry me. I can walk on my own. But he still did so. That is why I felt some butterflies in my stomach.

However, pain pierced through my heart when I realized that I had to almost drown before he acts sweet towards me. I sighed.

A little bit ashamed by the number of people staring at us, I hid my face on his wet chest. My body is still covered with sand which are now on his body too.

I spoke when we reached the building of the resort.

"Where are you taking me?"

"To the infirmary. I want to bring you to the hospital. But I'm afraid it's in the city and it's an hour away." His voice still sounded angry.

"Just take me to our room. I'm fine." I whispered.

"You are not fine. A doctor needs to check you," he hissed.

"No one needs to check me. I'm okay. I don't feel anything else." Aside from the pain in my heart.

Of course, I did not have the courage to say the last line out loud. "And please bring me down. I can walk on my own. People are staring at us. It's embarrassing."

He doesn't need to act like he's concerned. Because it just hurts me even more.

Why is he giving me mixed signals anyway? I'm starting to feel confused. He's still communicating with Aron but he's acting concerned about me at the same time?

Why is he like this?

"No. I am taking you there and I'm carrying you until we get there," he said angrily which made me even angrier.

"I said I'm fine!" I couldn't control the sudden outburst of my emotion. He was taken aback by the sudden change of my mood.

I quickly realized that it was wrong of me to shout so I apologized. How could I shout at him when he's just trying to be good to me? What about my promise to myself that I will try to be good to him?

"I'm sorry. Just take me to our room," I said it with a weak voice.

He heaved out a deep sigh before he spoke, a sign that he's accepting defeat.

"Fine. But I'll carry you until we get there." His eyes were focused at the corridors.

I nodded. A thought came inside my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he let me do it without complaining.
