Regina still vividly remembers the moment she first met Anthony.
Anthony Dominic is the one standing head of the Dominic family, an old mafia family respected by many. As glorious as the Dominic family is, so much is their tragedy. Initially, the number of heirs of the Dominic family was very large, including six girls and five boys.
Dominics’ family did not discriminate. They believe that the person who excels will take over the management of the family's property. However, an incident occurred that made Anthony the last survivor. Although Anthony was not the man chosen by his grandfather in the first place, he was trained extremely rigorously from then on.
In the end, Anthony Dominic successfully led the Dominic family to grow bigger and bigger and earn the respect of other mafia families. Few people knew what Anthony looked like, but they all knew the brutality of his fight.
Regina Feline is the first daughter of businessman Feline, president of a famous jewelry design company. Regina's mother left her when she was quite young. This led to her taciturn personality. Later, Regina's father brought in a stepmother with his stepdaughter. The loneliness in her own home made Regina even more closed. Fortunately, her stepmother and step-sister were always kind to Regina, giving her some consolation.
Two people had two different dark and light lives. There was no way they could accidentally meet each other. However, fate happened. Regina's family business failed to invest and carried a sizable amount of debt. Suddenly, Anthony contributed capital that made the company prosper again.
No one gives no one anything. Anthony forced the Regina family to pay each month with rather high interest. This caused Mr. Feline to fall and make a barbaric decision. Mr. Feline sold Regina to Anthony to pay off his debt.
Right now, Regina was lying on the bed and slowly recollecting everything. A large burn on her arm was undergoing treatment. Regina's hand was also attached to the feeding tube. Her face was pulled back to reveal raised cheekbones. The sound of difficult breathing came from Regina's nose but the lifelessness in her eyes was no different from that of a corpse. Regina's body was not dead, but her soul was dying.
Footsteps sounded outside. Regina immediately closed her eyes and pretended she hadn't woken up from her coma. The door opened and a man entered. The person approached the bed and sat down next to Regina. The faint scent made Regina immediately recognize that the person who had just arrived was Anthony.
A hint of blood wafted through the scent. Regina's heart stopped for a beat. She knew that Anthony had just returned from a brawl injured and injured. Although Anthony had washed himself thoroughly before going to Regina's room, she could still smell the blood from his wound. Regina tried to hold back her unnamed emotion to avoid Anthony knowing she was awake.
Anthony adjusted the blanket that was covering Regina's body. Then he looked at the screen’s stats to make sure she was fine. Anthony reached out his hand as if to stroke Regina's long black hair. However, he stopped and withdrew his hand. Anthony's hands clenched as tightly as they could.
“What do I have to do, Regina,” he whispered.
Anthony sat for a moment, then got up and went outside. As the door closed, Regina also widened her eyes filled with bewilderment and helplessness.
"I don't know what to do either, Anthony," she sighed and continued to stare out the window at the darkness.
Days later, Anthony was still diligently checking on Regina's condition. She didn't pretend to be unconscious anymore, but she didn't show too much emotion either. Regina in a wheelchair was pushed outside by Anthony to sunbathe. At this point, she looked like a doll that would fall easily. No matter what Anthony said, Regina remained silent and looked at her surroundings. She was used to going against Anthony's wishes.
Anthony led Regina back to the table after sunbathing. He sat down and carefully blew the food warm. A soup spoon was brought near Regina's mouth. She pursed her slightly dry lips. Regina's mind was fighting with each other. However, her heart was inherently unable to refuse the attraction of the food in front of her. It’s alright, Regina told herself she loved Anthony's food, not him.
Regina opened her mouth to enjoy the soup. Anthony saw her accept to eat, then breathed a sigh of relief. He watched Regina enjoy the food and remembered her full body her momentum the day before. That beautiful pictures made Anthony gulp slightly, but he knew Regina's current state of health did not meet his needs. In addition, Anthony no longer dared to touch Regina's body after that fire.
Regina was still enjoying her food and not thinking about anything. Suddenly, a feeling of nausea rose up. She immediately couldn't help but throw up everything she had just swallowed. Anthony couldn't hide his panic. He immediately picked Regina up and took her to her room.
"Get the doctor here," Anthony ordered the butler. His steps were quick but very steady.
Regina half-opened her eyes. She saw the filth from her body sticking to Anthony. Anthony is a man who loves cleanliness. He would always take a shower after finishing a fight. However, now he didn't care about what he hated. Who will care about other things when the person they love is weakening before their eyes?
The doctor was very quick to come. After a preliminary examination, the doctor said that Regina had severe stomach problems from fasting for too long. Now, she could only infuse nutrients inside her body and eat foods that were easy to digest. Anthony listened to the doctor's advice very carefully. After seeing the doctor off, he sat down beside Regina's bed.
“I really hope to be able to do something so you can get well soon,” Anthony cooed with sincere eyes. He only dared to touch a corner of the blanket to adjust Regina for fear of her getting cold.
