Attractive Billionaire English Novel Chapter 126
Chapter 126 Don’t Die in the Ellison Residence The jagged rock of the artificial hill was unyielding, and Caroline charged at it with all her might. If she didn’t die, she would still lose half her life. Especially since she was determined to die. “Caroline-” David’s pupils contracted as he shouted her name. In that instant, a wave of panic surged through him. He was afraid. Afraid… that she would die. But how could David, of all people, feel fear? Hadn’t I wished countless times to kill her with my own hands? Later, when David reflected on this moment, he told himself the reason he felt worried and anxious was simple. Caroline’s life is mine to decide. It isn’t hers to take. If he wanted her dead, she wouldn’t live. If he wanted her alive, she wouldn’t be allowed to die.

Caroline had no idea what she had collided with–something firm yet slightly yielding, far less unrelenting than the artificial hill. The momentum of her charge, combined with her speed, caused her to bounce off whatever it was and stumble backward. She staggered several steps, her body swaying unsteadily, before collapsing to the ground. Her vision spun, her head swam. The world around her blurred and twisted, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Before she could gather her thoughts, David strode over and grabbed her with one hand, lifting her effortlessly. “Caroline, are you trying to die?” She had just started to feel slightly better, but being hoisted like that only made her dizzier. Caroline replied instinctively, “I’ve been courting death all along 44% Finished “Death won’t come that easily, and don’t even think about dying in the Ellison residence!” David spat through gritted teeth. “I find it filthy!”…
