Chapter 194 - Man With Broken Legs And Broken Heart

Emmaline laughed at her attempt at joking and passed her a drink. Before Persephone could take the glass, she paused and looked at her in horror, "You know what else?"

"What?" Emma inquired with interest. 

" I need to go to the toilet,"Persephone announced and quickly trotted away. "And you take care of my big bro."

"Big bro?"Emma paused for a moment. 

"Yes." Persephone pointed her finger at Callum while leaving. "He is my big bro from now on." 

Persephone really liked Callum. She believed that both of them shared the same vibe and energy. Why waste time in getting to know the people who share the same vibe as you? 

Once Persephone left, Emma studied Callum once again from head to toe. It was like her intense gaze was trying to see through him. 

"She called you big bro," Emma, who was still in shock, said after a while. "I think we need to get introduced once again. This time more finely." She extended her hand. "I'm Emmaline Palmero. Killian's wife. I don't know if you know him or pretend to not know him." 

"Dr Callum Facci," Callum shook his hand. "No, I don't know that asshole." 

Emma laughed at his answer. She ignored that he called her husband an asshole because his tone didn't mean anything insulting, just super friendly. "I think you belong to the same group Santiago does."

Callum shrugged and took a sip of his drink. He didn't know what group Santiago belonged to and neither did he have any wish to know it. 

"Actually, even if you guys pretend to not know. Your accents gave it away," Emma told him her evaluation. " All four of you have similar accents when you speak English."

"Four?" Callum raised his brow. "You met Nash already?"

"Well, he is inside," Emma shrugged. "He has been in an accident. Killian had informed me." Pointing at the room, across the hall, she said, "They are inside. Do you want me to lead you there? 

"I don't think it will be right," Callum said instead.He wasn't ready to hear Nash telling his soap story. 

"Sorry. Sorry," Persephone appeared walking fast towards them. "I didn't want to bail on you guys. But trust me, being pregnant is not so easy after all. I need to empty my bladder every ten minutes. Lord bless me." 

"You girl, take care of yourself,"Emm sighed. 

Persephone flashed her a grin. 

"Big bro, you enjoy it here. We are going to dance." Persephone took Emma's hand to take her where their girlfriends were dancing. 

Did that Villain think she won't be able to enjoy the party without him? 

Well, screw him. 

.. 

"I'm going to see my wife," Killian announced.

"Go. Go. Why would you even care about me now?" Nash snorted at him? He was lying on the bed. His leg and an arm was put in plaster while his head was wrapped with a bandage. 

"Nash, what the hell is your problem?" Killian couldn't help but scowl. He spend all the day taking care of him but not only did this sick man not appreciate his effort but had been talking nonsense all along. 

"I'm miserable and you should be miserable with me," This was nash's reply to Killian's burst of anger. "This is the first rule of friendship." 

"Who the hell is your friend, Nash?" 

No, he didn't want to be friend with this sarcastic brute. He could screw himself and he was going to entertain his snotty attitude. 

Once again, why the hell he took responsibility of Nash? 

If he was in such a difficult position, he wondered what Nash was going to do when he reaches back home? 

He would annoy the hell out of Callum. Although Callum appear patience and cool, only he knew what he was capable of doing if someone gets on his nerves. 

"Get lost. Why would you be friends with a man whose legs and heart is broken?"

This was Nash's attitude now that he was lying on bed with a broken arm and leg. 

"Nash," Killian sighed. "Take your medicine and try to sleep now. I'm going out to accompany my wife. She has a party arranged in the house. And I'm not going to put her in difficult place by leaving her there alone. If you need anything just call me." 

With this said, he left the room. 

Someone give him a breather or else he would go mad. 

…

Killian saw a man sitting on the sofa quietly drinking his drink. As usual it was a non alcoholic. He seemed to be in a different world as if the buzz of this world didn't appear to bother him at all. Only Callum would drink a non alcoholic drink in a party and enjoy it as it is nectar. 

With another gaze, he saw his wife with Persephone dancing with their friends, enjoying the party. 

At least, someone else was enjoying the party. 

With a sigh, he took a seat next to Callum and chose the same sickening sweet drink as him. 

How on earth was he able to drink this? 

Silently, he placed the drink back on table and chose another. 

"She is good for you," He heard Callum say. "I am afraid of staying here for any moment. I'm afraid if I don't go back I will be hitched like the three of you."

Killian snickered at his response. "You won't, until you find your duchess."

"She is not mine," Callum quickly retorted. 

The duchess was on run and even if she was a goddess as Persephone had said, he wouldn't make someone like her his.
