His Buddha Heart Crumbled For His Secret Wife Chapter 06

His Buddha Heart Crumbled For His Secret Wife Chapter 06

Darkness swallowed everything instantly.

The warehouse was filled only with my suppressed crying and everyone’s panicked footsteps.

People shouted over each other.

Some searched for the power source in the darkness.

Others desperately tried to fix their phones.

The next second-

The warehouse door was kicked open.

A desperate, trembling voice rang out.

“Claire!”

My whole body froze.

My tears fell even harder.

It was Adrian.

Adrian seemed to know the warehouse layout perfectly.

Without hesitation, he rushed straight toward me.

In the darkness, I heard his hurried footsteps.

I heard him shouting at the people around me.

“Get away!”

Several muffled cries followed.

The people surrounding me were thrown aside as if something had slammed into them.

They screamed as they hit the ground.

Then a pair of warm hands grabbed my wrist tightly.

The familiar touch instantly made me feel safe.

“Claire, don’t be afraid.”

“I’m here.”

Adrian’s voice trembled slightly.

His movements were fast.

I didn’t know where he found a knife.

In just a few seconds, he cut through the ropes binding me.

The moment I lost my balance, he caught me securely.

He pulled me into his arms and wrapped his coat around me.

“I’m sorry.”

“I came too late.”

He lowered his head.

His forehead rested against my hair.

His voice was filled with guilt.

His large hand gently patted my back.

Like he was comforting a frightened animal.

The people inside the warehouse finally reacted.

They started running.

The next moment, hundreds of people surrounded the warehouse.

Adrian’s voice turned cold.

The calm, self-controlled man everyone knew had disappeared.

Only a terrifying chill remained.

“Anyone who touched her…”

“I’ll make them pay.”

In the darkness, I couldn’t see his expression.

But I could feel the killing intent surrounding him.

Nolan’s voice shook with disbelief and fear.

“U-Uncle…”

“How are you here?”

Adrian didn’t answer.

He simply lifted me into his arms.

Carefully avoiding the snakes and debris on the floor, he carried me toward the warehouse exít.

When he passed Nolan, he stopped.

His voice was colder than ice.

“Nolan Vale.”

“Everything you owe her…”

“I’ll make sure you repay it, piece by piece.”

“Strip everyone in this warehouse.”

“Cover them with rat bait oil and throw them to the snakes.”

“After the snakes are done, destroy those animals.”

After saying that, Adrian didn’t look back.

He carried me out of the warehouse.

Adrian looked down at me.

He forced himself to suppress the rage burning in his eyes.

“Claire.”

“It’s over.”

“I’m taking you home.”

I grabbed onto his coat like it was my last lifeline.

My entire body collapsed against him.

Listening to his steady heartbeat, I finally broke down.

My tears soaked through his clothes.

Adrian took me to the hospital.

The doctors performed a complete examination.

My right hand suffered permanent nerve damage.

Whenever it rained, the pain would become unbearable.

I would never be able to lift heavy objects again.

Thankfully, I could still manage simple daily tasks like washing and eating.

I had over a hundred bruises across my body.

Two fractures.

The scratches on my face required reconstructive treatment.

Adrian stayed by my side for two full days.

During that time, he only said a few things.

“I’m sorry.”

“I came too late.”

His voice was always careful.

I didn’t blame him.

He searched through more than a hundred private warehouses owned by Nolan.

The moment the livestream appeared, he only needed one glance before identifying the location.

He came as fast as he possibly could.

Every time, I told him:

“It wasn’t your fault.’

But there was an emotion in his eyes that I couldn’t understand.

Later, I heard that the companies owned by those so-called friends who helped Nolan hurt me

suffered one disaster after another.

They went bankrupt overnight.

And those men themselves…

Started their own livestreams while completely naked.

They were all bitten by poisonous snakes.

Some didn’t survive.

Others were left permanently disabled.

But my own emotions collapsed.

I couldn’t sleep night after night.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw snakes crawling over my body.

Adrian’s

eyes

turned red as he helped me take sleeping medication.

Eventually, I could no longer resist the exhaustion.

I fell into a deep sleep.

In my dream, I felt someone carefully unbuttoning my clothes.

The moment fingertips touched my skin-

The terrifying memories rushed back instantly.

My entire body trembled.

I woke up screaming.

I curled up instinctively.

Only when I looked up and saw Adrian did my tense nerves finally relax.

I gasped for air.

Tears fell uncontrollably.

He pulled me tightly into his arms.

His voice was gentle.

“Don’t be afraid.”

“It’s me.”

“I was only treating the bruises on your back.”
