Chapter 627 You Look Beautiful in Your Wedding Dress
Antheena clenched her teeth in pain, but her left hand didn’t tremble at all as it held the gun. “You
probably don’t know that I’m good at shooting with my left hand, do you?” She could shoot with both
hands, but she definitely shot with greater accuracy when she shot with her left hand instead of her
right.
Veronica was shot in the left arm. The pain of her skin being burned caused her to stagger a step back
before she barely managed to steady herself. She pointed her gun at Antheena, who aimed her gun at
the former.
Bang! Bang! Without the slightest hesitation, the two fired at each other at great speed. Just then, a cry
of alarm suddenly sounded in Veronica’s ear. “Watch out!”
Before she could look sideways to see who it was, she was shoved hard and fell over. The instant she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfell over, she saw who it was.
It was none other than Xavier.
He took the bullet for her and was shot in the left chest. After he was shot, there was a faint spattering
of blood from his wound, and he fell straight to the ground.
“Aaah!” Antheena didn’t manage to dodge the bullet across from them, either. The bullet ended up
hitting her in the left clavicle.
Veronica never intended to kill Antheena, so she didn’t aim at the latter’s heart at all. After she was
shot, her handgun slipped out of her grasp as though she had instantly lost strength in her left hand.
Her face pale with pain, she took a few steps back while staring unblinkingly at the man who showed
up all of a sudden as her blue eyes widened in disbelief. Why is he here? How did he come here? Is he
even willing to lose his life to save this woman?
“Xavier?” Veronica blanched in shock before she quickly got up and rushed to Xavier’s side. “Are you
crazy? Don’t you know that the shot would kill you?”
Xavier was tall, and Antheena’s shot was aimed at Veronica’s heart, so the bullet hit him several
centimeters below his heart. However, a large amount of blood instantly gushed from his wound,
soaking his black shirt and dyeing his navy blue suit red.
Lying on the ground, he looked at the woman whom he longed for day and night and who kept him
awake at night. When he saw the panic-stricken and worried look on her face, his lips curved into a
smile. “Roni… Are you… worrying about me?”
Stunned, Veronica stared blankly at him, not knowing what to say for a moment. She had changed her
clothes and was wearing a thin dark-colored cotton shirt with a white slip dress underneath.
Xavier was terribly wounded as blood gushed from his wound like the mouth of a spring at this very
moment.
Crouching next to him, Veronica drew a sharp dagger from the back of her hip. Then, she picked up her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgun, removed a bullet from it, and held the bullet in her hand, using the dagger to cut the back of the
bullet casing open. As she was too nervous, the dagger made a deep cut on her finger while it cut the
bullet casing open, causing blood to drip down her fingers.
When Xavier lay on the ground and saw how pale she looked and how her body trembled
uncontrollably in a rare moment of panic, his pale lips curled into a smile.
“Why are you smiling? You’re dying, you know?” Veronica was so nervous that she ignored the twinge
in her nose and her slightly reddened eyes. She tremblingly held the yellow brass casing that had been
pried open before moving Xavier’s hand away from the wound. “Put up with it while I stop the bleeding
for you.” She poured the gunpowder in the bullet casing onto his wound, but the small amount of
gunpowder couldn’t stop blood from gushing from his wound at all.
Xavier lay quietly and submissively while looking at her panicked demeanor. The sky was getting dark,
but the outline of her cheeks seemed even more clear-cut and matchlessly beautiful when the dim light
shone on her face. “Y-You look really… pretty in your wedding dress… at your wedding today.”
