Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1923

Persephone suddenly halted, realizing there were familiar faces around her. A surge of joy filled her, but she cautiously avoided looking around. She silently trailed behind Morpheus, taking small steps forward. Morpheus turned around. "What's wrong?"

Persephone's heart raced as if it would leap out of her mouth. She looked up at him, unable to utter a single word. Her unusual expression and pale face puzzled Morpheus.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..."

"Let's look around, then head back."

Morpheus squinted. He noticed the flickering light on her wrist and her distracted demeanor and then recollected her prescriptions and those exotic ingredients only found in Southeast Aciatic...

His doubts gathered like thick clouds in his mind. This bracelet was highly unusual as he had never seen her take it off. Could this flickering pendant be some sort of signal?

Just as this thought struck him, he abruptly grabbed her shoulder and embraced her tightly.

Startled, Persephone raised her head and bumped into his firm chest. His increasingly dark gaze made her heart race even faster.

"Morpheus, you..."

Morpheus looked at her quietly. He wanted to ask who she truly was, but he remained silent. He hadn't hurt her. It was merely an abrupt gesture that, from another angle, might have seemed rather impolite. And from that angle... Suddenly, someone emerged from the shadows!

Morpheus' gaze sharpened instantly. He pushed Persephone to the side, shielding her with his body.

Before the person could act, he landed a hook on his chin!

The man grunted but showed signs of being well-trained as he endured the heavy blow without faltering. His sharp gaze surprised Morpheus. Without much time to think, Morpheus raised his fist to punch again, but the man dodged and swiftly deflected his strong arm this time.

The two engaged in close combat, the air around them crackling with tension, akin to an erupting volcano.

"Stop fighting!" Persephone panicked. "Morpheus, stop!"

She desperately tried to pull him back. Fearing for her safety, Morpheus momentarily lost focus and received a hard punch on his back! "Stop fighting!"

Persephone exerted all her strength to push Morpheus away, then put herself in front of the man with her arms spread wide.

Morpheus paused, looking at her standing against him like an enemy. It felt as if a part was missing from his heart.

Persephone turned and checked the man's injuries anxiously.

"Ms-" Before he could finish, Persephone shot him a look. He swallowed the rest of the "Ms. Hamerton" he was about to say and smiled at her. "Don't worry. I'm fine." Persephone was still concerned.

After these days together, she knew how powerful Morpheus' punches were. The slayer of the underground fight scene could kill with a single blow. How could she let that happen to Seamus Rutherford, who had been with her for years, loyal and devoted?

"Are you really okay?" Persephone repeated the question multiple times.

Morpheus stared straight at both of them.
