The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 295

Alexander shielded her instinctively, wrapping her in his arms and turning his body to block the scalding water that had been flung their way.

“Alex!” Millie cried out, panic flooding her voice.

Gian, Liam, and the engineers nearby all froze, stunned by what had just happened.

Letting go of Danielle, Alexander stripped off his jacket, his gaze cutting sharply toward Mr. Linden. His eyes were dark and unfathomable—cold enough to make the air seem to freeze.

He didn’t say a word, but just that one look carried the weight of a tidal wave—crushing, suffocating.

Mr. Linden stood rooted to the spot, a chill running down his spine.

His cup clattered to the floor, his hands and voice shaking. “M-Mr. Davidson—”

Millie rushed over, her worry etched clear on her face as she checked him anxiously. “Alex, are you okay? Did it burn you? What were you thinking?”

She’d expected Danielle to dodge, not for Alex to throw himself in harm’s way. And at the last second, Danielle had ended up pressed against him, protected.

Danielle herself stood frozen, blinking in disbelief.

“Are you hurt?” Gian asked, his brow furrowed as he looked Danielle over for injuries.

She shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Once she steadied her nerves, Danielle glanced at Alexander’s back—his shirt soaked through, dark with hot water.

It had been boiling water. Even with layers of fabric, it must’ve scorched his skin.

Her breath caught. She couldn’t bear to imagine the outcome if that cup had struck her face instead.

Nash stepped forward immediately, restraining Mr. Linden. “Mr. Davidson,” he said, his tone flat and cold, “how do you want to handle this?”

Alexander’s voice was grave. “Call the police. Press charges—don’t let it go.”

Nash nodded, and as he began to lead Mr. Linden away, the man broke down, pleading for mercy.

He’d only meant to lash out at Millie, but with one reckless throw, the water had landed squarely on Mr. Davidson.

By the time he realized what he’d done, there was no undoing it.

His pleas faded as Nash escorted him out.
