Falling For My Contractual Wife

The man was wearing a black mask. He had a cap on his head and held a cold knife in his hand.

Nova's heart skipped a beat. She reacted quickly and dodged, but her arm was stabbed by the knife in the man's hand.

Nova sneered. "Alfredo Miller! You were a hooligan from Jacksonville. After coming to Capern City, you changed your name to Hale Burns. Do you think you can escape your crimes?"

Alfredo raised his head in surprise, revealing the ugly scar under the brim of his hat. It had been many years since someone had called him by his real name. He thought, 'Clearly, this woman has been investigating me for a long time. I can't let her live!' He narrowed his eyes and was about to stab her ruthlessly.

Nova couldn't dodge in time. The tip of the knife stabbed into her abdomen, and he pulled out the tip of the knife to stab a second time.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over and kicked away the knife in Alfredo's hand. "Nova!"

When Alfredo saw someone coming over, he quickly turned around and ran.

Carson took two steps and Nova stopped him. "Carson, stop chasing. He won't be able to escape."

Carson turned around and hurriedly helped her up from the ground. "I'll take you to the hospital immediately."

He found a shirt to cover her abdomen and carried her to the car. Nova felt his hands tremble as he held her.

She smiled at him and said jokingly, "Why are your hands shaking so much? How are you going to drive later?" Carson pursed his lips and said with a serious expression, "I am fine, don't worry."

This situation reminded him of Grace.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital and Nova entered the operating theater.

Nova's phone rang. Carson glanced at it. It was Brian.

Carson told him about Nova's injury and he immediately rushed to the hospital. When Brian arrived, Nova had already come out of the operating theater.

A doctor said, "The patient is fine. Fortunately, the wound is not deep and her internal organs are not injured. When she wakes up later, remember not to let her eat and inform me immediately."

Carson quickly nodded. "Alright, I understand."

Nova was still unconscious. Her face and her lips were pale. This was the first time Brian saw Nova so vulnerable.

Nova was pushed into the ward. Brian asked, "What happened?"

Carson asnwered, "In the garage today, a man wearing a mask tried to kill Nova. When I arrived, she was already injured. That man ran away." Brian frowned and thought, 'She has only been back for a short amount of time, and she has already made enemies?'

Looking at her pale face, which was completely different from her usual enchanting and arrogant appearance, Brian suddenly pitied her. Carson stayed in the ward until she woke up before leaving in relief.

Nova's anesthesia had just worn off and she was still feeling a little dizzy. When she saw Brian, she frowned. "Why are you here?"

Brian frowned. For some reason, he

felt a little irritated. He

her with a reproachful

expression. "Can't I come? What the hell happened?"

Nova thought of Alfredo and Louise. She glanced at him indifferently and lowered her head again. She said casually, "It's nothing. I just encountered a robber. He tried to rob me but failed, so he wanted to take my life."

Brian could clearly feel that she was being vague. He knew that she was not telling the truth at all.

Nova frowned. "What kind of expression is that? I'm the one who's injured. You didn't rush over to save me immediately. Why are you angry right now?"

He looked upset as he looked at her deeply.

Brian suddenly snorted coldly. "You know very well whether you treat me as your boyfriend or not."
