Love Command: Darling, Do You Yield?-Chapter 126 - 127: She Is About to Die 1

Brandan Hyde saw her behaving so obediently, and finally couldn’t help himself; he leaned over and gently kissed her lips.

As soon as he kissed her, he felt her body shake violently, and her complexion visibly turned pale, even somewhat bluish.

Brandan was stunned, looking at her eyes filled with obvious fear, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the core.

He naturally still remembered his own past vile behavior.

Yet at this moment, seeing her in this state, Brandan felt like he couldn’t say a single word.

"Don’t be afraid..." His voice was a bit hoarse, as he rolled off Iris Harris, "I won’t hurt you again."

This was once the closeness she had dreamed of.

But now, it scared her to the point of not daring to sleep all night.

She certainly should fear him.

What he had done to her in the past was enough to make her flee in terror a hundred times over.

This man had been so cruel and heartless to her, he could even hand her over to those people without regard for her life.

She was terrified of him to death.

Because she knew he truly could disregard her life, he was cold-blooded enough towards her.

He was such a heartless person.

The once sweet-as-honey love had long turned into a poisonous drug, repeatedly tormenting her heart.

Iris’s eyes fluttered slightly; she thought of getting up to leave when Brandan fell asleep, yet the next moment, the man slowly embraced her, holding her in his arms.

His embrace was warm, yet she was cold all over.

Brandan felt her stiffness but stubbornly kept her in his arms, their hearts so close they could hear each other’s heartbeat.

Yet so distant as if that day of closeness would never come...

****************************

The next day.

Brandan slowly woke up.

He had a good sleep; his dreams were full of the faint cold plum fragrance from Iris.

Opening his eyes, he saw Iris sleeping in his arm, her hair disheveled across the bed, her face now looking somewhat bloodless, with the bluish-black under her eyes becoming even more apparent.

His gaze darkened slightly; perhaps she had endured for a long time last night, couldn’t hold on, and only just fell asleep now, which is why the dark circles were so pronounced.

Brandan raised his hand and lightly caressed the corner of her eye.

Iris’s eyelashes fluttered and she woke up instantly.

A pair of cold eyes watched him, somewhat wary, like a bird startled by a mere twang of the bowstring.

Brandan regretted it a little, wishing he hadn’t touched her; that way, he wouldn’t have woken her.

He quietly got up from the bed and said to Iris, "You keep sleeping, I’ll go downstairs."

Iris lay in the bed, watching Brandan get up, get dressed, and go into the bathroom.

She closed her eyes, listening to the sounds of him washing up in the bathroom, then the door opening and closing. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The sound gradually faded away as she sat up in bed; after a sleepless night, her mind was somewhat foggy, yet she couldn’t fall asleep anymore.

She sat in bed for over an hour until she heard the sound of Brandan’s black Cayenne leaving from the courtyard, then entered the bathroom to start brushing her teeth.

Halfway through brushing, she sensed something, and pulled out the toothbrush to look at the head.

The toothbrush was full of blood.
