Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1777: Hero Saves the Beauty
Previously on Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband...
Just now she thought Ethan Barnes was dead.
"Lynch, are you okay? Hurry up and get up." The rescue team captain reached out to help Celeste Linden.
Celeste Linden stood up, and at that moment she heard a familiar voice behind her, "Boss, I heard there’s an earthquake in the deep mountains nearby. Luckily, we were on the other side and escaped this disaster."
"Stop the chatter, go see if anyone needs help." A familiar deep, magnetic voice sounded.
Celeste Linden froze, that voice...
She quickly turned around and saw a tall, handsome figure in the crowd not far away. It was Ethan Barnes, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
He was standing there, in a black T-shirt and camouflage pants, with heavy black boots, sharp and alluring. Standing in the crowd, he was so striking that he instantly caught people’s attention.
It’s him.
He’s safely back.
The heavy stone pressing on her heart vanished instantly, and the tension, anxiety, and fatigue of the past days were swept away. Celeste Linden’s fair eyes turned red, and from such a distance, her eyes were moist as she looked at Ethan Barnes, fixedly, afraid he would disappear from her sight again.
Soon, she took a step forward, wanting to go to him.
"Boss~" At this point, a playful female voice sounded, and someone went over to Ethan Barnes’s side.
Danielle had met that beautiful lady before, but Celeste Linden had not seen her. She had only seen the carefully prepared dinner that lady made for Ethan Barnes, but probably due to a woman’s keen intuition, Celeste Linden felt that this woman was that beautiful lady.
The woman was very beautiful, now injured, her face a bit pale.
"Crystal, you’ve just been bandaged, don’t move."
The woman’s name was Crystal White.
Crystal White looked anxiously at Ethan Barnes, "I’ve already been bandaged. Boss, you were injured when you saved me, hurry and get bandaged too."
Ethan Barnes’s arm had a bloody incision, now dripping blood.
Ethan Barnes looked at the rescue area, furrowed his brows, and said softly, "I’m fine."
"No, if the wound isn’t bandaged, it’ll get infected. Boss, let me help you bandage it." Crystal White brought the medical tools, starting to bandage Ethan Barnes.
"Boss, just now Crystal nearly lost her life, thanks to you for saving her."
"Boss, you’re truly brave, a hero saving a beauty."
Crystal White looked at Ethan Barnes’s injured arm with concern, "Boss, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."
Crystal White gently blew on Ethan Barnes’s wound.
Watching this scene, Celeste Linden’s footsteps came to a halt, unable to move closer.
While she was worrying about him, he was busy being the hero.
He’s always surrounded by women, never lacking company of beauties.
Celeste Linden just felt like a fool.
"Lynch, is that your husband? Your husband is fine, he’s back safely. Hurry and go find him." The rescue team captain said.
"No need, Captain, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. The rescue work here is almost finished, I have a daughter at home to take care of, I should head back now." Celeste Linden left.
"Hey Lynch!"
The rescue team captain thought Celeste Linden seemed odd. He looked over at Ethan Barnes and suspected if the couple was having some kind of spat.
Celeste Linden had left, and as if on cue, Ethan Barnes suddenly looked up, his hawk-like sharp eyes sweeping toward the direction where Celeste Linden disappeared.
He seemed to have seen her.
But how could she be here?
Ethan Barnes immediately shook off Crystal White and sprinted away.
