?Chapter 669:


    “Put me down, Bryan. I can walk,” Eileen said.


    “Rx,” Bryan replied calmly. “The doctor said it’s fine for me to carry you to the car.” With smooth, long strides, he carried Eileen out of the room.


    The stairs outside the vi looked steep and daunting; it was a challenge for Bryan, let alone while carrying Eileen. But Bryan navigated them with surprising ease, leaving everyone watching in awe.


    “Are you sure you’ve got this?” Eileen whispered, not daring to move.


    Bryan descended the stairs steadily as his response.


    Eileen was surprised, and she tightened her grip on Bryan’s shirt. There was something different about him today. He moved with fluidity unlike before. He must have done something behind her back.


    Eileen pursed her lips, her eyes misting with emotion, and leaned her head against his neck.


    When they arrived at the hotel, Josue was happily engrossed in a game with Gabri. The buzz of people and Josue’s cheerful chatter kept Gabri so entertained that she didn’t even notice her parents were the ones getting married. She didn’t fuss anymore.


    The ceremony proceeded seamlessly.


    The ceremony was merely a formality for Eileen. But without it, she would have felt that something was missing. Now, it feltplete.


    Close friends and family filled only a few tables, sharing lighthearted conversations and joyful moments before eventually dispersing. It was a simple wedding, but it had all the essential elements.


    Eileen dazzled in an expensive wedding dress, and a sleek multi-million-dor car was their transportation. Her heart was filled with love, her focus entirely on Bryan.


    Your next journey starts at g?lnσν???s???o??


    In her happiness, she missed the somber look on Ste’s face. Ste nced at Gabri several times, seemingly wanting to say something. Though the wedding wasn’t open to the public, the media had sshed details about its extravagant cost.


    For Bryan, the wedding brought an unexpected challenge: Gabri’s newfound resistance toward him. Somehow, Gabri’s possessiveness of Eileen red whenever he was near. The little girl seemed to fear losing her mommy to him, fussing and babbling whenever he approached Eileen.


    On the wedding night, Bryan found himself humorously ousted from the room by Gabri.


    In the dead of night, Josue sent a message to Bryan, telling him the police had caught a stray mastiff downtown. The dog, restrained by a muzzle, posed no threat. Hanging from its cor was a small vial of liquid, which had been promptly sent to the hospital for analysis.


    Josue found the situation strange. Why would Christos relinquish the drug so easily?


    Bryan advised him to wait for the results before jumping to conclusions.
