Of the Updike stories I have ever read, perhaps the most impressive one is Savage Love On His Wheelchair. The story is too good, leaving me with many doubts. Currently, the manga has been translated to 993 Just a dream. Let's read the author's Savage Love On His Wheelchair Updike story right here.
The night is quiet.
Adrian sat alone in his chair, holding all the information about Rosemary's childhood, including all the difficulties Laurie gave her when she was in school, and what happened in The Grant family, and the three times she was set up, which made his impression of Wilson simply fall.
In particular, Rosemary's two nine-way deaths now sting in Adrian's eyes. A man who is not even capable of protecting his woman is a man who does not deserve their The Bernard Family's princess.
At this moment, Adrian has secretly made a decision for Rosemary in his heart, although this decision is a bit cruel to Rosemary, but he believes that she will understand later that what he did was for her good.
Knockout ......
"Come in!"
At that moment, Doyle, Adrian's assistant, walked in with a cup of home-ground coffee.
"Sir, your coffee!"
Adrian is particularly particular about what he eats and drinks. He likes only one flavor of coffee, and if there is a slight difference, he can drink it.
But for Doyle, he's been comfortable with all of this for a long time.
"How's Rosemary doing?"
Lifting his coffee and taking a sip, Adrian asked lightly.
"Missy's body injury is no longer a big deal, but ...... however her body physique is very poor, this may have a relationship with her previous miscarriage, after all, miscarriage and childbirth is the same, once not well adjusted, later want to adjust is very difficult!"
Doyle saw his husband's face getting ugly, his heart screamed bad, but this has half a cent to do with him?
"Tell Pieter to make sure Rosemary's health is well-tuned, or he'll just roll up and leave!"
He never keeps useless people in his hands.
"Yes!"
Doyle's lips opened and closed a few times, but finally shook his head and turned around and left the study.
Rosemary woke up already two days later, opened her eyes, reflected in an unfamiliar room, the room is very luxuriously decorated, but gives an air of coldness.
Where is she?
"Missy, you're awake!"
A woman in a maid's outfit came forward and looked at her with a smile.
"Where am I?"
Because of staying inside the old castle for too long, Rosemary's body is very weak at this moment.
Just as she was about to sit up, Rosemary realized that she had no strength at all.
"Miss, let me help you up!"
The maid helped Rosemary up and thoughtfully took two pillows and placed them behind her back.
"May I ask where I am here?"
"This is Away Island!"
Away Island?
How come she didn't know there was such a place?
"Miss, you've been unconscious for two days and two nights, drink some porridge first!"
Saying that, the maid brought over a bowl of porridge ready to feed her.
The maid was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. In case anything happened, the gentleman would not spare her.
When Rosemary saw that she was so anxious that tears were falling down her face, she simply got out of bed and said to her, "Since you won't let me get out of bed, can you ask your husband to come over?"
Although the offer was a bit rude, she wouldn't let her out of bed, so it had to be done.
"Sir has gone out, I have informed you to wake up, I believe he will be back soon!"
"All right then! I'll take a nap and get me up when your husband comes back!"
"Yes!"
Helping Rosemary to lie down, the maid covered her with the blanket and saw her fall asleep before she went out with the bowl.
This sleep Rosemary also do not know how long sleep, just in a daze when you hear a: Sir, she woke up!" Immediately afterwards a face appeared in front of her and looked at her and said, "It's okay, or is something wrong?"
Rosemary's eyes were blurred just before she heard someone speak, and her heart stopped beating at that moment. She wanted to shout, but as her tears fell away, her throat could never make a sound, and just then, Adrian's voice brought her back to reality.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the voice made Rosemary feel her whole being was soothed, and the touch of uneasiness in her heart before was gone.
She wanted to see the person in front of her clearly, but the face of the person in front of her always felt very blurry.
Before opening her eyes again, Rosemary felt herself running in the darkness of the castle, she did not know what was in front of her, only that it was very dark in front of her, only wanting to run out desperately, running exhaustion, legs in also can not run, holding the knee to stop, just when she wanted to take another step forward, a light suddenly appeared in front of her, a familiar figure appeared in front of her, just when she was ready to When she was ready to go forward, an abyss suddenly appeared in front of her, the man suddenly turned his head to her with a faint smile and jumped without hesitation.
Rosemary blinked hard and finally got a good look at the face in front of her, an unfamiliar face, but she surprisingly didn't half resist.
This is the first time to a stranger, in the sight of that glance without defensiveness and resistance, and even a vague sense of affection, familiarity.
The man reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Rosemary was unaware at the moment that she had already burst into tears.
The strange man smiled faintly at Rosemary, as if the March breeze brushed by, very gentle, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, do you feel better now?"
