Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1669: I’d Rather Die by Your Hand

Celeste Linden felt the gaze of those men in black, a gaze from desperados, extremely ferocious, making one feel afraid.

Celeste Linden instinctively held Ethan Barnes tightly, pressing her face against his chest, attempting to naturally relax a bit.

The men in black saw this scene and did not suspect anything, pointed in one direction, "Let’s search over there."

"Alright."

The men in black left.

Celeste Linden immediately took out the key and opened the door, helping Ethan Barnes inside.

Ethan Barnes’s injuries were severe, he had lost a lot of blood, and as soon as he entered, his body powerlessly fell to the ground.

"Uncle." Danielle recognized Ethan Barnes, immediately ran in and called out with concern.

Celeste Linden rummaged through the drawer for gauze and hemostatic medicine, forcefully pressed it onto Ethan Barnes’s wound, "Ethan, you need to go to the hospital immediately to get the bullet out."

Ethan Barnes’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat, his lips starting to turn pale, he looked at Celeste Linden and said, "I can’t go to the hospital, we can’t stay here for long, my people will be here soon, you take Danielle and go with me."

Celeste Linden knew this place was no longer safe, once those men in black couldn’t find anyone, they would certainly come back looking.

"But you must get the bullet out first."

"Go get a knife, you help me."

What?

Celeste Linden trembled slightly, frightened by his request, "Are you crazy? I can’t do it, I’m not a doctor, if I make a mistake, you’re dead."

"If you don’t help me, I might die anyway." Ethan Barnes said, slowly curling his pale thin lips, "Celeste Linden, do you want me to die?"

"Uncle, Mommy and I don’t want you to die." Danielle said sweetly.

Previously, when Celeste Linden was imprisoned and tortured in darkness by him, she had thought about wanting him dead, but those were things of the past, now she had let go, reconciled with the past.

Moreover, Danielle was his daughter, she naturally didn’t want him to die.

Celeste Linden’s gaze changed slightly, then she quickly took out a small medical kit and found a military knife inside, she first disinfected the knife with alcohol, and then roasted the tip of the knife until it was red hot with fire.

Ethan Barnes lay on the bed, the immense pain made each breath difficult, at this moment a small hand reached over, it was Danielle holding a tissue to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Ethan Barnes looked at her, Danielle gave him a sweet smile.

Ethan Barnes couldn’t help but reach out and touched Danielle’s little face.

The child’s face was soft and tender, beautiful like a little angel.

Celeste Linden quickly took off his upper garment, his exposed chest was wheat-colored and muscular, rising and falling with his breath, the solid muscle lines and the abdominal muscles at his waist moving rhythmically, indescribably wild and sexy.

Celeste Linden tried not to look elsewhere but focused on his wound, "We don’t have anesthesia here, it’s definitely going to hurt later."

"It’s fine, just do it."

"Let me find something for you to bite on."

"No need, just do it."

Since he didn’t need it, Celeste Linden then raised the knife, the sharp tip aimed at where he was shot.

However, her fingertips were trembling, having no experience in this area, she was nervous enough to sweat.

Ethan Barnes looked at her, slowly reached out, and held her knife-holding hand, "Celeste Linden, don’t be afraid, I’m willing to die by your hand."
