Chapter 261 - She Have To!
Chapter 261 – She Have To!
"So, you were awake all this time! Huh?"
\'….." "no! I just woke up a minute ago when you took me into your arms!" the girl replied with a frown on her face as she looked at his legs again.
"What happened to your legs? How did you get injured?" she asked with more force to change the subject as he raised a brow but did not drag the matter further.
"I think the shard of the pitcher got struck to it! But it is fine! Would you stand up now?" she frowned as she heard him and stood up to glare at him.
"What do you mean by it is nothing severe! Huh? Your legs are injured. Look at the blood and you are saying that it is fine! You must be kidding?"
His eyes cracked and he felt that it was getting too tough to maintain the smile on his face. Why did the girl never listen to him!
"Evangeline!" his voice turned grim but she narrowed her eyes back at his face as if challenging him.
"Leonardo Thawyne! It is bleeding!" She pressured but when she noticed his eyes looking everywhere but her, she turned to look around and found that a good amount of crowd had been gathered around them.
"Shall we go into the office now!?" he asked with a bit of pressure in his voice and she pursued her lips but nodded her head and followed him to the office.
He walked straight to his father\'s office and shut the door once she entered.
Just before she could open her mouth, he turned to look at her and held her tightly as she stumbled and leaned on the wall. His both hands were on the side of her neck and her breath hitched.
"So you were acting all along. Huh?" he couldn\'t help but feel irritated when he saw her guilty look. Had she been playing with him all along.
"That! I was asleep but I woke up when I felt the jerk but you were holding my back with yours. I felt embarrassed so I did not open my eyes!" she looked everywhere but at him as her face started to turn red.
He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths when he heard her irregular breathing. He had to be a warm person! A warm person! He chanted it like a spell in his heart as he moved away.
"Hmm, if you are still tired you should take a rest! I will arrange lunch for you later." she blinked and looked above to see that she was standing only near the wall, for he was already gone.
"That.. that would not be needed. I am fine." She was sure that Arden never had received this kind of treatment. He had been given non stop tasks all the time and never had he complained that he was tired or needed sleep.
When he did not say but nodded his head and sat on the seat, her eyes instinctively moved towards his injury again. Why did she feel like he always got injured whenever he tried to help her? As if she was a curse in his life. She shook her head and let the matter go!
She noticed that he was not going to do anything about the injury but had already started working on the files and frowned.
"Where is the first aid kit?" she asked with a frown as she looked at him with annoyance. He had time for every work but when it comes to taking care of him. He never listened.
"I do not know. Since it is not my office! If you are free, check this file!" he passed a file on the other side but she did not look at the file, instead she walked out of the room without saying anything to him further.
"Thud" he looked above only when he heard the sound of closing the door that surprised him as he gritted his teeth.
"Evangeline! The more I try to be polite with you, the more you start misusing freedom!" did she think it was a park where she could roam freely!?
Evan was surprised to see a few of the girls standing outside of the door when she opened it.
"Ohh, my lady, do you need anything?" The girls exchanged their glances as Evan continued to look at them. They were looking a bit guilty.
"Shall I bring tea for you, my lady?" asked one of them and others just kept their heads bowed.
"That would be great! But I need a first aid kit too. There would not be any physicians right?" The maids shook their heads when she asked about the physician.
"There is none, my lady. But if you want, we can call for one. But we do have a first aid box. I will bring it right away."
"And I will bring the best tea we have!" They both bowed and ran away from there while the third one still waited for her answer.
"No! Physicians would not be needed. Thank you!" she shook her head and the maid bowed and left from there.
Evan took a deep breath. She was sure that Leo would be furious since she was not listening to him. He would not understand that she was worried because he was injured. But she would ignore it, this was not the first time anyway.
He had received the injuries in the back twice because of her.
Giving one last look to the door and collecting all her strength, she opened the door only to see his dark face.
"Do you think you are in incharge now?" he raised a brow as he stared at his confident face with deep penetrating eyes!
"No! But I have awareness that an injured wound should be treated well! Or else it would lead to infection!" she glared back at the man with full confidence as he blinked his eyes and then looked at his wound.
If she wanted to treat it then she had to….!!!
