If I Wanted You to Live, Nobody Would Dare Say Otherwise!
Charmine looked at Matthew with eyes full of hope.
With a stern expression, Matthew shook his head. “I won’t do that.”
At that instant, Charmine’s face sank disappointingly. This is my only will. Why did he reject my dying
wish? Glancing at her, Matthew said softly, “If you want to return them back to your hometown, you can
do that yourself.”
Smiling bitterly, Charmine stated, “But I don’t have long to live…”
Matthew sneered, “If I wanted you to live, nobody would dare say otherwise!”
Shocked by this, Charmine stared surprisingly at Matthew. After all, she knew the extent of her wounds.
Hence, she wondered where his confidence stemmed from.
Not wanting to explain further, Matthew took out two pills and made her take them. After that, he took out
the silver needles again to help her guide the flow of the medicine. Only after more than an hour did the
wounds on Charmine’s body slowly heal miraculously.
Although she was still in a weakened state, she knew then that she would survive. With a face full of
disbelief and surprise, she exclaimed, “Matthew, no, Mr. Larson, your medical skills… are astounding!
Thank you for saving me! How can I even hope to repay you?”
To this, Matthew replied, “You know what I want.”
After a moment of silence from Charmine, she started to look at him seductively.
“As expected, you men are all the same. It’s just that my wounds have not healed up completely yet, so
your request might be a bit of a stretch. How about you wait until I’m fully healed before serving you?”
Matthew frowned. What is this woman thinking about?
“When did I demand your service?! What I want is information on Orleans!” scolded Matthew.
His demand stunned Charmine, as she was extremely confident in her charms. To top it off, the charm
curse she practiced was specialized in seducing men.
Is he really unaffected by my curse? Does he really only want to know about Orleans under these
circumstances?
Frowning, Charmine spoke after a considerable period of silence. “Sorry, I cannot tell you regarding the
information about Orleans.”
With a deep tone, Matthew rebuked, “Don’t forget that you’re still alive thanks to me!”
Turning pasty white, Charmine said in a low voice, “I’m thankful that you saved me, Mr. Larson. But, I will
not do anything that would betray Orleans! If so, I’ll return this life of mine to you!”
With that, she took the dagger lying on the floor with the aim of plunging it into her heart. Her actions
made Matthew gasp inside. She is actually quite loyal.
With a fluid motion, he grabbed Charmine’s wrist and snatched the dagger away from her hand.
Frowning, Charmine asked, “Is it not enough that I’m surrendering my life to you? Or are you going to
torture me in hopes of extracting information?”
After pondering for quite a while, Matthew waved his hand nonchalantly. “It’s fine. I’ll let you off the hook
on account of your loyalty! You can take them away. I will not expect anything in return for me saving
your life. But, I hope that at least in the future, we will not meet again as enemies, understand?”
Unable to contain her shock, Charmine thought that her reluctance to divulge the information would get
herself killed by Matthew. Yet, she had never thought that Matthew would let her go just like that!
After a moment of silence, Charmine suddenly kneeled on the ground and said solemnly, “I’ll remember
your act of kindness, Mr. Larson. I swear we will never be enemies again in the future. As long as it’s not
anything that would make me betray Orleans, I would help you to the best of my abilities if you’d want me
to. This is my promise to you!”
After finishing, she kowtowed three times to Matthew.
When she raised her head, Matthew was nowhere to be found. The thought of everything that happened
that night made Charmine very emotional as she kneeled there, stunned.
“What a mysterious man,” Charmine said under her breath. Yet, her eyes reddened again after she saw
the two bodies on the floor.
“Master, Reese, I swear I will take revenge for you!”
