Chapter 238 - He Did Send Her To The Afterlife
"10..."
Leia's spirit became panicked, and it looked up at Adrik with apprehension evident in her eyes.
[Don't leave me, little wife] Adrik continued to plead, and Leia's spirit began to struggle to free herself. She began to take a step forward.
"5"...
She struggled forward and gradually reached out her hand for Adrik to grab her.
"3..."
[Little Wife!!] A yell from Adrik drummed in her eyes and before the countdown could hit 0, Adrik grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, causing her to fall into his embrace.
....
Leia instantly inhaled deeply and grabbed the bat stick that was heading for her head. "You bitch!" She yelled in a rage and kicked her doppelganger in the leg, causing her to fall to the ground. She immediately stood up and her nails stretched out to their limit while her fangs elongated. Her eyes turned deep red as fury boiled within her and, with no mercy visible in her eyes, she pulled her doppelganger up from the ground and slashed her face with her nails, causing the face of her doppelganger to begin to bleed.
"Fuck you!" She angrily threw her up into midair and sent a kick to her stomach before she could plummet to the concrete ground.
She instantly moved towards her and began to slash her face mercilessly, eventually slashing her throat, causing blood to pump out onto her face.
Disregarding that, she stood up and grabbed the bat stick from the floor, then, with cruelty in her eyes, she proceeded to furiously hit her doppelganger who was struggling to get up from the floor.
She struck her mercilessly with the bat and moved to destroy her head.
The eyes of her doppelganger widened and she tried to get up and flee, but Leia, however, swung the bat and, with no mercy in her expression, she vigorously strike the bat stick on her head, causing the head of her doppelganger to break and blood to begin to ooze out. "Don't mess with me next time!" She gave her doppelganger a middle finger before smashing its head one more time and throwing the bloody bat on the floor when she was sure that her doppelganger was dead.
Leia breathed heavily and staggered from one side to another as she found herself losing consciousness. Her heavy eyes tried their best to stay open, but when her body couldn't take it anymore, her eyes shut close and her body slumped to the ground.
...
With a deep inhale of air, Leia's eyes sprang open and she sat up on the bed, startling Adrik, who was seated beside her.
She breathed heavily to catch her breath and slowly turned her head to stare at Adrik, who was gazing at her with nervousness in his eyes. "Little... wife," He tenderly called her, and unexpectedly, Leia jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly as though she hadn't seen him in a few years.
His eyes fluttered in confusion when he heard her begin to sob. He immediately drew her back and stared into her black, teary eyes. "Little wife... why are you crying?"
Leia uttered not a single word and hugged him once again. Adrik's lashes blinked vigorously as he found tears welling up in his eyes. He hugged her tightly and proceeded to place a soft kiss on her forehead, but he, however, halted when he saw her bleeding head and neck.
Leia, who also noticed her bleeding head and neck, touched them and instantly realized that it was not a dream. Her face began to vibrate as a scream proceeded to erupt from her throat. Adrik, who knew better, immediately pulled her into his arm and gently stroked her back till she calmed down.
He hurriedly got down from the bed when he felt that she was calm and moved to the bathroom to grab the first aid kit from the cabinet.
He returned to the room and gently carried her out of the bed in the bridal style, then had her sit down on the white wooden chair.
He squatted down to her level and carefully unwrapped the bandage wrapped around her head.
He tenderly began to clean and dress up her injury and wrapped up her neck injury with the use of the steri strips and gauze, then leaned in to place a soft kiss on her forehead.
"You're all good now, little wife." He smiled lovingly at her, and Leia stared at him for a moment with no emotion on her face, before slowly reaching out her hand and touching his cheek. "I love you..." She whispered to him, and a big smile emerged on Adrik's face as his eyes unexpectedly watered. "I love you too, little wife." He pulled her into a warm hug and drew back to stare lovingly at her.
He called for the maids to change the bedsheets, and they left when they were done.
Adrik helped her change into a new set of clothes before carrying her in his arms to lay her on the bed. He cuddled her tenderly, and finally, when she drifted off to sleep, he laid her back on the bed, then glanced at the clock to realize that it was already 5:59 am.
He rubbed his forehead as he felt very exhausted and tiredly moved to sit down on the couch.
He threw his head back and shut his eyes, then took a long, deep breath.

The middle-aged man, who was no other than Lekhma, glared at the old woman, and before the old woman could say a word, he angrily slapped her, causing her to fly back and hit her head on the wall.
"Your highness, please forgive me. Please." The old woman begged for leniency, but Lekhma, who was cold-hearted, moved towards her with no mercy in his eyes and grabbed her by the throat, hoisting her up into midair.
His blood boiled in a rage and, with a deadly look on his face, his claws immediately stretched out and he slashed her throat, killing her instantly.
He furiously threw her to the wall, and the old woman fell to the floor, devoid of any life.
Lekhma scoffed at her corpse in scorn and walked out of the old house, shutting the door behind him in fury. Just like he promised, he did send her to the afterlife.
