The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 187 In the silent room. Willow lay on top of Sean as her beautiful eyes
blazed at him.

Their bodies naturally pressed against each other. Feeling each other's warmth,
the two people froze on the spot. Their hearts could not help throbbing either.
After all, they were in their twenties and already knew what they ought to know.
They were in their prime, and Sean was young and vigorous. 1 An indescribable
awkward atmosphere slowly began to spread. Willow's heart beat faster as her
face flushed, and there was a buzz in her head.

Her breathing became faster too. It was not the first time this had happened.
Over the past two years, she had been in more awkward situations than this
while taking care of Sean.

However, Sean was only a delirious vegetable at the time!

Willow thought of Sean as a child.

However, Sean had regained consciousness and was just like a normal person.
He was normal in every respect except his legs.

Of course, Willow could not be as composed as she used to be. “Willow?”
Moments later, Sean was the first to speak.

“Hmm...”

Willow replied in a whisper. She was shy like a budding flower waiting to be
picked. Sean gently put his hand on Willow's back. Willow felt Sean“s thick palm
and could not help stiffening again.

However, she did not resist much.

She kept saying she did not like Sean. She said she just wanted to take care of
Sean because she wanted to do my part. However, Willow did not realize that
she would have feelings for him after spending time together for two years? Sean
used to be a soldier who defended his country and had a resolute and manly
look.

You could say that he was everything Willow wanted in a husband besides his
physical disability.

After spending two years together, Sean had become an integral part of Willow's
life.

If it were any other man, Willow would have gotten up and kept her distance.
However, she did not get up when it came to Sean. Instead, she craved for the
warmth in Sean“s arms.

“I'll get up.

“Would you give me some time?”

Sean looked at Willow, and his voice was serious. “Okay...” Willow pondered for a
few seconds before nodding gently again.

Her face was already very close to Sean's.

As she nodded, the distance between the shortened.

Even Willow's delicate red lips almost touched Sean's face.

Besides, their warm breathing could touch each other's faces.

Willow's heart beat faster and faster. Then she slowly closed her eyes. It was as
if she was waiting for something.

However, Sean still did not seem to have any response after she waited for
nearly a minute.

“Willow, why did you close your eyes?"

The next moment, Sean asked in confusion.

Swoosh!

Willow instantly opened her eyes and looked blankly at Sean.

She suddenly realized that Sean was not insensitive. He was heartless!

He was so insensitive nothing could help him! “The sight of you gives me a
headache.” Willow instantly got up and distanced herself from Sean.

Sean sat up slowly with his hands on the bed and scratched the back of his
head.

There was a hint of confusion on his face.

He was once the nine—star commander of the Northwest Army and was named
the invincible god of war. 1

However, he poured himself into defending the country and fighting in wars that
he knew very little about romance.

He did not even know how to sweet-talk.

Standing in the room, Willow reached out and straightened her clothes before
looking up at

Seati.

“Do you... really have a way to get back on your feet?” Willow glanced at Sean's
legs and asked in a whisper.

“Yes!”

Sean nodded earnestly.

“How long... would it take then?”

Willow asked again as she bit her red lip. She was willing to wait, but not Fion
and the Quinn family! The Quinn family was more traditional, and their offsprings*
marriages were still arranged by their parents. The Quinn family would never
have a cripple for a son-in-law no matter what. Sean slowly turned his head and
glanced at the wooden box containing the pill on the table.

A few seconds later, he looked back at Willow.

“I'll try my best to do it as soon as possible.”

Sean whispered. “Okay...”

Willow nodded and turned to leave without another word.

Just as Willow opened the door, she made eye contact with someone.

It was Fion. “Mom, you...” Willow's eyes widened. She was shocked.

“Ahem, I came out to get a glass of water.” Fion, who had leaned over the door
listening, was somewhat embarrassed that she was caught.

However, Sean in the room shook his head slightly.

Fion had been at the door for at least five minutes. Willow tured around to
glance at Sean and quickly closed the door. “Mom, were you eavesdropping on
us?” Willow asked as she dragged Fion into the living room.
