Wicked Scheme Lost a problem Got a man novel Chapter 158

could have alone time but Felicity stopped him.
“Axel” she called out, making him pause. Her eyes scammed his body for any sign of injury and she exhaled when she couldn’t find any “Are you alright?”
Axel’s fists clenched tightly at his side at her question. His gaze hardened as he turned to her. She’d just woken up after a day and the first thing she asked about was his well-being. What was wrong with her?
“You’re the one who got shot. Why are you asking if I’m fine?”
“There were two gunshots. And I got shot once. I wanted to know if you’re injured.”
“I’m not.” Axel answered, finding it difficult to look her in the eyes. “The shooter missed the second time since you decided to become a human shield”
“Speaking of which, next time let Axel get shot. It’s nothing any of us can’t handle. Noah flicked her nose as punishment but his eyes were dead serious
Felicity rubbed her stinging nose, glaring at him. “I handled it just fine,” she then asked in concern. “Do you guys get shot at often?”
“It comes with the family name.” Noah shrugged before kissing her forehead. “But you shouldn’t worry about that.”
Felicity planned to confront him about that later, knowing now was not the time. Her glance landed at Axel who was fidgeting at the side of the room
“I saved your life twice now, Axel.” She told him with a smug grin.
Axel
gave a stiff nod. “I owe you. What do you want in return?”
“Just be less mean to me from now on,” Felicity told him with a warning tone. “And wipe that pitiful look off your face. It doesn’t suit you.”
“I’ll try.” Axel finally mustered a smile before approaching the door. He said over his shoulder. “Thank you for everything And I’m glad you’re fine.” He left the room without another word.
Felicity watched him leave with gladness in her heart. She was glad very glad that she didn’t lose someone that mattered to her. She hadn’t regretted what she’d done and would do it again in a heartbeat
“He cried,
ou know,” Noah stated, referring to Axel. “He might try to hide it but he really cares for you.
Felicity snorted. “He really cried? I would have paid money to see that. Did you cry too?”
“Just a little.” Noah joked, trying to feign a nonchalant look
Felicity burst out laughing before pulling him into a tight hug. She murmured into his neck, “I missed you” She didn’t know if it was possible to miss someone while unconscious, but she did. She missed him immensely.
Noah wanted to pull away, not wanting to accidentally open her stitches but Felicity didn’t seem to care as her grip around him tightened. He resigned struggling with her and positioned self in a way he wouldn’t hurt her.
“I’m sorry you had to wake up to our dishevelled faces” Noah chuckled.
“I wouldn’t have asked for anything more.” She replied before pressing a kiss on his neck.

Noah buried his face in her peck before answering, “I missed you too, love”
