Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1097 - 385: Are You Injured?

Simon was caught off guard by Joshua using the flash bomb. He quickly closed his eyes, but it was still too bright. He felt a pain in his lower abdomen and then something cold against his head. He didn't have to have his open to know that it was a muzzle.

Simon wanted to grab the gun but suddenly heard Hazel's hurried voice, "Joshua, don't!"

Joshua paused for a second and then put his gun away as he walked toward Hazel.

"Let's go." Joshua hugged her waist very naturally and helped her onto the ladder of the helicopter.

Joshua's men on the ship jumped back to their own ships, and the helicopter flew away with Joshua and Hazel.

Simon closed his eyes in time, but the flash bomb made him temporarily blind. He blinked hard, and although his eyes hurt, he didn't care. He looked up, and the helicopter had already pulled away from the ship.

The ladder was still swinging in the air, with Joshua holding Hazel's waist with one arm and the ladder with the other.

Joshua gave Simon a cold stare. The sun in the sky washed over them, giving them a dreamy gold aura.

Simon's smile totally disappeared. He looked at Joshua without a bit of fear.

He had completely lost, but it was not over. Even if Joshua and Hazel looked like the perfect couple, he was not going to give up on her.

Most importantly, it was the first time he confronted Joshua face to face. Prior to his daring rescue, Simon had only heard his name.

Simon suddenly smiled, as things seemed to have become very interesting for him.

The helicopter took Joshua and Hazel and landed on a nearby ship. Simon's men finally broke through the siege of ships and escaped.

Joshua didn't care that they were getting away. He just wanted to make sure Hazel was okay, he took him inside.

"Are you injured?" He whispered.

"No." Hazel shook her head. Both sides were afraid of hurting her, so she was probably the safest on the ship. She hurriedly asked, "What about you?"

"I'm fine." Joshua raised his brows slightly. "He's no match for me."

Joshua reached out and pulled Hazel close.

"Hazel..." He whispered, with endless affection in his voice.

Hazel's body felt slightly stiff, but then her heart was filled with endless emotions. She reached out and embraced Joshua's waist. Both of them were deeply tortured during the time they were separated. They didn't know what was going to happen from one second to the next, so Hazel just leaned quietly in his arms.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound. Hazel began to tremble and asked awkwardly, "What was that?"

"Nothing," Joshua said indifferently. Then he reached out and covered Hazel's ears.

Another deafening sound rang out, Hazel was scared and curious. "How could that be nothing?" she questioned Joshua with an annoyed tone.

When he didn't answer, she pushed Joshua away and walked to the window.

Joshua tried to stop her, but he was not fast enough. She looked out the window and saw that Simon's ship was on fire and surrounded by several other ships.

"What? what is happening..." Hazel looked a little stunned and filled with mixed emotions. Not long before, she felt that Simon was so powerful that she would never be able to escape from him, but now she was watching his ship sink from gunfire.

"General Martin made a fortune and captured a group of terrorists." Joshua came behind her and said faintly. His gaze was glued to Hazel, she had a blank look on her face, his eyes darkened.

"Hazel," he reached out and hugged her from behind, "Do you care about him?"

Hazel snapped out of her daze and realized what Joshua was asking, "How is that even possible? I am just emotional, nothing else."

"You didn't want me to kill him." Joshua's eyes were a bit more resentful.

When Joshua wanted to kill Simon, she did stop him, and for some reason, that seemed to make Joshua jealous.

"Joshua, I just think," She put his hand on the palm of her hand, his fingers so long and beautiful, "Such a pair of good-looking hands should not be bloody."

Joshua was shocked. It turned out that Hazel was looking out for him. He felt warm and lifted her chin with his other hand, "Sweetheart?"

Simon actually called her sweetheart, and Joshua had to admit he was really jealous.

"That's what he called me. I didn't agree with it at all!" Hazel quickly explained. Joshua knew she didn't like it, he heard everything through the earring.

"I know, but we have no intimate titles." Joshua looked down and thought, "What do you think I should call you? Baby? Dear? Hummingbird?"

Hazel didn't want to hurt Joshua, but she really couldn't stand any of the names he mentioned.

Joshua sighed, "So, these are not suitable. It seems that there is only one left then."

"What?" Hazel asked curiously.

"Darling." Joshua leaned down and kissed her lips.

His familiar and lingering kiss made Hazel's body go weak. But she suddenly pushed him away, "Joshua, I really haven't brushed my teeth."

"Darling, I don't care." He whispered and kissed her again.

Hazel felt like she melted into a pool of water, she had to rely on Joshua to hold her up. He picked her up, and she pulled away from his lips.

"What are you doing?" Hazel exclaimed.

"Helping to examine your body." Joshua said, "I want to make sure it really isn't hurt."

He carried her to the bedroom and carefully checked her body. His meticulous examination made her warm and relaxed all over. Joshua was relieved when he confirmed that she only had her wrist grabbed.

Joshua held Hazel's wrist and gently massaged it for her.

"I'm really fine," Hazel leaned in his arms, and she looked up at him. "What about you? Joshua, you really aren't hurt?"

"Do you not believe that we are enemies?" Joshua raised his eyebrows unpleasantly.

"Of course, you are enemies. But if you fight with him, you may get hurt. Let me see."

Hazel got up and started to take off his clothes.

"My wife, you care so much about me?" Joshua smiled.

"You..." Hearing him call her wife, Hazel's face blushed with embarrassment. She shyly pushed him away, "I will leave you alone!"
