The doctor cleared his throat, reminding the couple that he was still present.He has a smile on his face as he runs more tests on Erica.Sullivan's hungry eyes glared at the doctor, waiting for this response."How is she?" Sullivan asked."Ah, yes, sorry about that," the doctor said with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement.When he realized he was taking up too much time."As I was saying, Erica's test results are all coming back normal. Her vitals are stable, and she's showing no signs of any serious illness or injury."Erica's heart leaped with joy as she heaved a sigh of relief.Now she was able to go home soon.Sullivan's eyes narrowed his face tense with anxiety. He was still not convinced by the doctor's words."What about her exhaustion? She's been pushing herself too hard, I know it."Erica playfully nudged at his arm as she chuckled."I haven't been doing anything that would make me feel exhausted." She said.Sullivan raised a brow toward his wife with dead eyes."I
Sullivan spent most of his time in the hospital taking care of his wife. Although he still kept keeping tabs on the five great families. "Good morning love." Sullivan greeted his wife with a smile. He kisses the side of her cheeks, placing her breakfast in front of her. "Oh God, I'm starving." Erica groaned as she searched through the plastic bag that Sullivan brought. "Where's John? I haven't seen him for some time now." Erica said not looking at her. "So you don't even care that I am here," Sullivan said with a pout, glaring at his wife. "I'm here but you are asking about John. So you care about him more than me?""I see you every day." Erica chuckled. She quickly kept a straight face while her husband's face was in a frown. "Babe are you being serious." She said, trying her best not to laugh. "Humph." Sullivan feigns annoyance. He crossed his arms then he turned his face up to the side in order not to look at Erica. It was amusing that the fierce dragon general was acti
Chapter 69"No, General," John replied, shaking his head. "She seems to have vanished into thin air. But I have a feeling she's still in the city, watching and waiting.""It's a wise decision for her to keep a low profile because she knows what you're capable of." He said."Keep searching. I need her found before she causes any more trouble." Sullivan's eyes narrowed,he has many reasons why he was searching for her.He needed answers and it seemed she was the only one who could provide these answers.He wanted to know why she betrayed him, a part of him could see her reluctance.If her reason were valid enough,maybe he could spare her life or end it.He was a man that never lef people unpunished for their crimes."Yes, General. I'll keep searching." John nodded. "I'm positive she is still in the city.""I believe you can handle this matter."Sullivan said .He turned to leave, then stopped and turned back to John after he remembered something. "And John?""Yes, General?""Keep this
As soon as the car door closed, the sound of gunfire echoed through the air. Erica's eyes widened in terror as she clung to Sullivan.This was not supposed to happen, Sullivan thought.John assured him that the road was secured but it seems that they must have slipped his eyes. "What's happening?" she screamed.Sullivan's face was set in a grim mask as he pulled her closer. "Don't worry, I've got you," he said, his voice calm and reassuring.He could tell she was frightened as the bullets threatened to break through the glass, but thankfully they were bulletproof.The car sped away, bullets whizzing past them. John's face was focused on the road, his eyes darting back and forth as he navigated through the traffic.The General was counting on him to save them from this situation and he was not going to let him down."John, get us out of here!" Sullivan yelled."I'm trying, General!" John replied, his voice tense.His heart was beating fast.This was not the first time they had been
"Let me take your minds off those things." He gave a sly grin. Erica folded her hands and kept staring strangely at her husband. She wondered what kind of dirty thoughts were already running through his brain."You can be such a perv. You know that right." "Me?" Sullivan said, actually as if he was deeply offended. He had a hand over his chest giving a cute pout."This is exactly why I don't help people," Sullivan remarked."I was just trying to help you relax but you're already calling me a perv."Erica frowned, and then she wrinkled her eyes at her husband.Sullivan started to get uncomfortable with her intense gaze."What? Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked with confusion.Erica doesn't answer him and she maintains her frown.Sullivan shrugged uncomfortably in the bed. At this moment he was thinking of running away before his wife entered one of her episodes."Babe, what is it?" Sullivan asked."Wow, so you help other people to calm down." Erica accused, narrowing
Sullivan's eyes sparkled with playfulness as he whispered, "I'll show you what happens when you accuse your husband of being a perv."Erica's laughter turned into a squeal as Sullivan swept her into his arms, carrying her towards the bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes shining with mirth."Oh, I'm shaking in my boots," Erica teased, her voice husky.Sullivan chuckled, his lips brushing against her ear. "You should be. I'm a man on a mission to prove my innocence.""Innocence? Oh please you are far from being innocent." Erica said, rolling her eyes.As they tumbled onto the bed, Sullivan's playful growls and Erica's giggles filled the room, their argument forgotten amid their loving banter."It tickles." Erica chuckled when she felt Sullivan's warm breath on her ears. Sullivan took a moment to take in his wife's appearance. Her eyes seemed to sparkle from underneath him. "Kiss me." He ordered. In a matter of seconds, she hooked her arms over his neck and pulled h
Erica opens her eyes when she feels the lights hit her eyes. "Rise and shine, sleepy head," Sullivan said with a smile on his face. "Hmm." Erica groaned softly. She curled up even further up the bed. Her hair was all tangled up, her face half buried in the pillow. "Babe wake up, it's almost midday," Sullivan said taking a seat beside her."No!" She muttered, with her eyes closed. Sullivan sighed, shaking his head. He drops the tea in his hands then he focuses his gaze on her. Her smooth skin was exposed even though she covered herself in a blanket. His hands reached out to tuck her messed-up hair behind her ears so he could have a good view of her face. "My beautiful wife." He remarked with pride. Erica who was half awake couldn't hide her smile. "You are awake?" Sullivan laughed. Erica turned her gaze to him and Sullivan helped her sit on the bed. She was exhausted and still needed more sleep. When Sullivan said neither of them was going to get any sleep, he meant. Er
