Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: She wants to stay by his side

Although he did not say it explicitly, his insinuation was clear.

Ronan overlooked half of the King Family as the head of the medical team so there was nothing amiss with Ji Yan being here.

’There are no signs of Adrian in the entire place... Nothing seems amiss... Even if he was here, why would he ignore me?’

Ella felt like she had been overthinking things.

There was definitely something amiss but she should think over it carefully.

Ella inhaled a deep breath and looked at Ronan, "Fine. If it is as you say then—"

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream cut through the rest of Ella’s words, reverberating in the tall walls.

Ronan’s face turned solemn.

Ji Yan paled visibly.

As Ella looked at both the men, her blood gradually turned cold.

The voice... was so familiar yet unfamiliar to her ears.

Before Ella realized, she was already rushing in the direction of the voice.

Suddenly, a hand clamped around her wrist, holding her in place.

"It’s not safe..." Ruby hadn’t even finished her words before Ella rushed forward again.

Her urgent footsteps halted in front of the room that Ronan had just walked out from.

’Click’

The door pushed open and the thick metallic scent of blood hit her nostrils.

Ella’s gaze took in the sight of bloodstained and shattered glasses on the floor.

By its side, there were a couple of broken and bloodied handcuffs.

She slowly looked up at the bed in the center of the room.

And all the blood drained from her face at once.

Adrian was leaning back on the headboard, his hands cuffed to each side of the bed.

His head was thrown back as veins bulged across his entire forehead, his neck, his entire body.

His skin was deathly white as it sparkled with sweat. The man had his eyes closed as he breathed heavily, like a wounded beast.

Adrian opened his eyes, tinted with a dark shade of crimson and glanced at her.

Ella staggered back.

"Ji Yan, take her outside," Ronan, who appeared at the door, commanded closely.

"N... No." Her voice sounded inaudible to her own ears the first time she spoke.

"I am not asking you," Ronan glanced at Ji Yan coldly.

Ji Yan immediately understood the look in the man’s eyes.

Adrian went to such lengths to hide his condition from Ella which meant that he did not want her to see him like this.

And now that she had seen him in such a state, would someone like Ella... be able to accept it?

Given her track record, she might run.

And if that were to really happen, how could they face Adrian?

Ji Yan immediately stepped forward to drag Ella away.

But he had barely taken a step when he froze.

Ella pressed a piece of glass against her neck as she looked at both the men coldly.

Ronan’s face hardened, "What do you think you are doing?"

Ji Yan’s face paled. If the Second Master were to wake up, only to find Ella harmed in any way...
