Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 140

Davis had his face cold, he felt like not giving face to anybody at all .

He blamed himself, he blamed all of them for this mess . Murderous urge took over him before Evelynn's slight groan of pain brought him back to reality .

As the guests of the empire, he felt that they should've been provided with enough security, but it was his fault that he haven't asked any of it .

He felt that he shouldn't have read the contents of the letter and not headed to the Bright Star Royal Palace . But as a result, it might've ended in a tragedy to Shirley and Felicia .

He felt that if he knew the scenarios beforehand, he could've saved both of them, but he knew that the reality wasn't that kind .

Bitterly chuckling in his mind, he felt that there was no right answer to his dilemma, leaving only the side he wanted to pick .

Of course, if he had known that this would've happened, then he would've stayed with Evelynn .

"Ashton, ready a place for us to stay, also, I want the best apothecary in this Empire to soon check up on my Evelynn . "

Emperor Ashton nodded his head, not taking the disrespect to heart . He started to give out orders to his subordinates .

Then Emperor Ashton headed to the Royal Palace while Davis followed him while he carried Evelynn gently .

Feeling his warmth, she fainted out of exhaustion but felt her mind awake from the aching pain while groaning in and out from her sleep .

. . .

Emperor Ashton led them into an unnamed Royal Palace that had not been taken by any prince or princesses from the Ashton Empire .

In fact, it was a newly built Royal Palace, meant for Davis, but since the marriage was annulled, it was not his anymore .

Emperor Ashton didn't explain anything to him and just gave them the Royal Palace for the time being .

Davis coldly nodded and entered the Royal Palace without even looking at him .

Closing the door, he proceeded to setup concealment formations quickly . He placed her on the bed and removed her bloody battered clothes .

The wounds on her body had visibly started to heal . The cuts closed up, and her severed part of the left arm had closed .

Her right arm, which was still a gruesome sight, looked bloody to behold . The bone was still visible while it healed very slowly . The flesh was still in a separated state, and will not heal unless the bone had healed .

He held her severed arm in his hand, while his mind wandered off to the precious moments he held hands with her, interlocking their fingers .

Tears started forming in his eyes, but he did his best to not cry .

He placed her hand beside her on the bed and applied some medicinal paste on her body . He then bandaged her wounds slowly . Then end result was that her entire body was covered with bandages, making her look like a half-mummy .

Not at all satisfied with his skill in bandaging, he covered her again with his black robes .

He clicked his tongue and looked back at the incoming guest .

"Come in . . . " Davis shouted coldly before the other party could even ask for permission . The concealment formation opened and a figure entered .

Emperor Ashton opened the door and walked inside, "My subordinates have investigated what had happened . "

Davis narrowed his eyes, "What did they learn?"

Emperor Ashton looked at him, "We have apprehended Hana Ross from the Ross Family, while the two you killed were from the Claymore Family . "

Davis didn't even bat an eye at their backgrounds, because he already knew it . He felt like massacring both their families for nurturing some evil wenches .

But what he wanted to know was, "What was the cause? Why did they do this?"

Emperor Ashton lowered his eyesight before he looked at him again, "From Hana Ross's statement, it looked like they were plotting to ruin Evelynn's relationship with you, but things didn't go as expected, making the other two of them attack her out of jealousy, and embarrassment . "

"You mean to say that what had meant to be a vicious prank has turned into a tragedy of this sort!?" Davis asked as he chuckled coldly .

"Wherever you want to believe it or not, it's the truth, at least, from the information we have gathered . " Emperor Ashton then sighed, "A person's feelings sometimes go astray and lead to irreversible consequences . "

Davis went silent, but still had a cold expression on his face, "I will deal with the woman named Hana, keep her locked up . "

Emperor Aston nodded, and just when he wanted to ask something, he was interrupted by Evelynn's soft cry .

"This . . . "

" . . . Davis"

Davis turned back as he immediately rushed to her side .

When Emperor Ashton saw this, he hesitated a moment before leaving . Naturally, he had wanted to ask Davis what had happened yesterday night when he visited his daughter but lost the chance to ask .

Davis wanted to comfort her by grabbing her hands subconsciously, but looking at her weak figure once again, he felt all the more hate at himself .

Evelynn looked at him and smiled weakly . There were two scars on her face, one beside her lips, and one on her forehead .

Davis bit his lips and said, "You're fine . In a few days, all the scars will disappear, it's just . . . " He then looked at her hands and continued, "Your right hand will heal slowly over a month, while your left hand . . . "

Seeing the tears that were over his eyes, Evelynn shook her head and smiled weakly back at him again .

"Stay with me . . . " Evelynn weakly said, her face was filled with a yearning expression .

Davis was taken aback, he nodded with a forced smile on his face . He took back his murderous emotions and looked at her gently . He felt nothing more than to continue staying with her for the time being .

Evelynn kept looking at his warm face and fell asleep gradually . Looking at her peacefully sleeping figure, he relaxed .

At this point, he still didn't figure out that his presence was the biggest comfort to Evelynn .
