My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

"Lin, can you hear me?" Ge Chen was worried that she might lose the ability to hear.

Xue Lin frowned. She said, "I cannot hear you. I cannot hear anything. There is a weird sound ringing inside my head."

Ge Chen was astonished. "Then how..."

She replied in a quivering voice, "I can read your lips." She was doing her best to control her emotions but her voice gave it away.

Ge Chen realized that she was scared but when he saw her trying to hide it, he didn’t disclose it. He praised her warmly and tried to distract her saying, "That’s great. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xue Lin tried to figure out if she was in pain but she felt nothing. All her senses were dull. "I’m not sure. I’m not feeling anything."

At that moment, Xue Lin didn’t have the ability to feel any pain. Her heart was beating fast. She was nervous and scared. It was the first time she experienced something like that. For a moment, she thought she was going to die. She still had no idea what was happening.

She instinctively took a deep breath and inquired, "What... just happened?" She couldn’t understand what could cause so much smoke. It was almost like the world broke down.

Ge Chen was familiar with this kind of thing. He told her, "There was a strong explosion. Lucky for us that we were able to get away in time or else who would probably be dead by now."

"Dead?!" Xue Lin’s heart jumped to her throat. She stood up and looked in the direction of the Fa Family’s main house in concern. She was worried about her relatives.

The smoke slowly lifted and the scenario behind the smoke was visible to Xue Lin and Ge Chen.

Xue Lin’s eyes widened in shock.

Fa Bojin’s house that was built a few months ago was now burning. All the windows of the house were shattered. The colorful building was in flame. The fire was consuming it quickly. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

There were two houses beside that house. On the left side, it was the second uncle’s house and on the left side, there was the first uncle’s house. Some parts of those houses were burned and the windows were broken and shattered.

The people who were standing below the houses including the police officers were all lying on the ground. Everyone was injured.

Xue Lin’s heart shook. She had only seen this kind of incident in the movies. She had no idea how scary the real experience was. Her heart turned cold in fear.

’They are all injured. Why am I still unharmed?’ Xue Lin pondered. Suddenly something crossed her mind. She abruptly turned toward Ge Chen.

His attractive face was full of dirt but he looked completely fine. It made her feel even more suspicious. Out of the blue, she grabbed his arm and turned him over. Ge Chen wasn’t ready for this and so he couldn’t stop her in time.

"I knew it," Xue Lin mumbled. She stood up and carefully observed his bloody back. There were still some pieces of broken glass on his injuries.

Xue Lin’s lips trembled. She was frightened but her head was working just fine. She declared, "We need to call an ambulance."

Ge Chen was still calm even though he was badly injured. He reassured her, "There is no need. It’s already here."

Just as he said, Xue Lin heard a siren from the distance.

"It hurts, doesn’t it? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?" Xue Lin was a bit upset and she didn’t hide it. She thought of them as equal. She expected him to tell her at least this much that he was wounded.

Ge Chen gave her an assuring smile. "If my pretty wife takes care of me, I will get better in no time. Don’t worry."

If he told her about this, she would be overly worried. Except for being worried, she couldn’t do anything to help him. She wasn’t an expert in the medical field.

Xue Lin frowned. She wanted to glare at him but she didn’t. She could understand why he didn’t tell her. She was useless. She could treat small wounds. She had no idea who to take care of this kind of injury. She was mad at her own uselessness.

Soon, three ambulances came. It could be that someone in the neighborhood called it. Ge Chen was taken to the ambulance along with those who needed emergency medical attention.

Noticing Xue Lin fretting and worried about Ge Chen, the doctor assured her, "Don’t worry about your husband, miss. He is in good hands."

"Please take good care of him," Xue Lin requested.

"It’s our duty," the doctor replied,

After the ambulance left, Xue Lin looked around at the mess that was made. She spotted Inspector Han not so far away. She walked toward him. "Are you all right?" she asked.

Inspector Han wiped the dirt from his mouth with his blue handkerchief and replied, "I’m fine. This isn’t the first time we have encountered something like this but we weren’t expecting such an outcome this time. We could have died."

"But someone else died in our stead," a police officer beside them stated.

Xue Lin frowned. "Who?" She wished it wasn’t any of her relatives.

Inspector Han declared, "Your cousin, Bojin."

"What?" Xue Lin was dumbfounded. She even forgot to breathe. She couldn’t figure out how he died of all people.

Inspector Han saw her doubtful expression and said, "Suspicious, isn’t it? We all were injured and a bit hurt but the person who was in the middle of everyone died."

He added, "I was a bit skeptical about the fact that he came out of the house with the police and yet he looked so calm. He might have guessed that he was going to be locked up after you escaped. So, he must have arranged the bomb. It’s a good thing none of the police officers died or badly injured. However, we have lost all the evidence."

"I knew it," Xue Lin mumbled. She stood up and carefully observed his bloody back. There were still some pieces of broken glass on his injuries.

Xue Lin’s lips trembled. She was frightened but her head was working just fine. She declared, "We need to call an ambulance."
