Chapter 413 Is It Because Of Love
Christina walked in and noticed that the shop was well-renovated. Once they put up the clothes, the store would be ready.
“I’ll go to the factory some other days to check on the first batch of goods. They should be ready by now,” said Christina seriously. Although the initial purpose of their collaboration was to find out Yerek’s intention toward her, she was still very serious when it came to the designs of the clothes. “I’ll make a move first since there isn’t any problem.”
Just as Christina was heading out of the store, the light of the signboard fell in her direction.
A dark figure pushed Christina in the nick of time.
The fallen lightbulb hit Yerek’s arm.
He groaned in pain. The very next moment, they saw blood seeping through his white shirt.
Christina did not expect Yerek to save her. She ran over guiltily and asked, “Are you all right?”
The workers also went over and took a look.
“I’m fine. Perhaps the gla*s cut me when the lightbulb hit me. Just send me to the hospital to get it bandaged,” said Yerek calmly.
Christina removed her jacket and did a simple bandage for him to stop the bleeding before the two of them left the mall.
As they were on the way to the hospital, the bleeding did not stop. When Christina saw that, she sped up.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine,” said Yerek.
Christina turned to look at him and frowned. “Your face looks pale.”
“If a little blood can gain me your concern, it’s worth it,” said Yerek weakly.
“I’m not moved by your action. Whatever the medical fee is. I will double it and pay you back.” If Christina did not know about the bad deeds that Yerek had done in the past, she might have been moved by his heroic act.
After all, she was only human.
Yerck looked at her grim face and those mesmerizing eyes of hers.
He leaned in his seat, kept his eyes on her, and said. “You were away for so many years. Why did Nathaniel still wait for you?”
Christina glanced at him and said nothing.
I can’t believe he knows that I was away for so many years. What else does he know about me?
“I suppose he wants something from you. That’s why he is unwilling to let you go,” said Yerek as he looked
at her.
He seemed to know something, but he did not say it on purpose.
His gaze made Christina feel uncomfortable.
Does Nathaniel know something and didn’t tell me about it?
Then again, she did not believe Yerek
A while later, they arrived at the hospital.
#5 Bonus
The two of them went to the emergency department. When Christina was registering, she sent Nathaniel
a message,
Once she returned, she saw that the doctor was treating Yerek’s wound. It was not a huge cut, but it was deep and required stitches.
“Do you want anesthetic?” The doctor had to ask because there would be extra charges.
Just as Yerek was about to answer, Christina cut in, “It’s fine. Mr. Gibson is a strong man. This is nothing to him.”
Slightly stunned, the doctor looked at Yerek
When Yerek heard what she said, he went along with it. “Just stitch it up.”
Without another word, the doctor began disinfecting the wound.
When the antiseptic fluid touched Yerek’s skin, it made a sizzling sound. It was so painful that Yerek nearly fainted.
Christina stood there and watched without any expression.
In fact, there was a hint of iciness in her eyes.
Once the doctor was almost done, they could hear footsteps coming from the corridor.
Nathaniel walked in and looked at Christina. “Are you hurt?”
Christina shook her head, but she looked exhausted.
Yerek was displeased when he saw how caring they were for one another.
He looked sideways at them before saying, “Christina, thank you for bandaging my wound with your jacket earlier on. Once I have it cleaned, I will return it to you.”
Nathaniel looked at him and said, “Just keep it for the next time when you’re injured.”
He was so mean that it rendered Yerek speechless.
Yerek chuckled and picked up Christina’s jacket. “Then I shall keep it. It has Christina’s scent. It smells so good.”
Just as he finished talking, Nathaniel clenched his fists.
Christina rolled her eyes in exasperation. He sounds just like a psycho.
In fact, she felt like taking her jacket back.
Just then, Yerek’s a*sistant arrived.
“Mr. Gibson, are you all right?” asked his a*sistant.
“I’m fine. The doctor has just finished stitching up my wound. I will have to stay in the hospital for observation.” Yerck glanced at Christina as he was talking. His lips looked a little pale.
No matter what, he was injured while he was trying to save her. She could not bring herself to be harsh. “I have already paid the medical fees. Take a good rest.”
“Will you come to see me tomorrow?” asked Yerek.
From the time Yerek mentioned her jacket till now, Nathaniel’s face had darkened so badly that he looked as though he was going to turn the emergency department upside down.
“We’ll see.”
With that, Christina dragged Nathaniel out of the ward before he blew his top.
Once they got into the car, the driver drove off
It was eerily quiet in the car as they made their way back.
Christina recalled what Yerek had said about Nathaniel.
Why did Nathaniel wait for me after so many years?
Is it because of love, or is there other reasons?
All of a sudden, a strong palm landed on her shoulder. “What are you thinking about?” asked Nathaniel in his deep voice.
“Nothing.” Christina looked up and met his cold eyes.
His eyes seemed to have the ability to make one lose their senses.
Nathaniel moved closer and asked, “Are you thinking about him?”
Isn’t it true that women are attracted to the men who heroically saved them?
Sensing his jealousy, Christina immediately explained herself. “Of course not. In fact, I suspect Yerek was the one who tampered with the lightbulb. Even if he didn’t, he has still set fire to burn my house down. I can’t wait to send him to prison with my own hands.”
Unfortunately, she had no evidence no matter how furious she was.
Nathaniel lifted her chin and sealed her lips with his.
The gentle kiss and his subtle warmth excited Christina.
She wrapped her hands around his neck and welcomed his kiss.
She did not want to question his feelings for her.
The following day, Christina went to the factory to check on the clothes.
The manager asked his a*sistant to bring out the goods for her to check
One touch and Christina knew that the fabric came from Rainbow Factory. The quality was good, and the style was what she wanted
“Get someone to send the goods to the mall in two days, instructed Christina.
“Sure. We’ll deliver the goods on time.”
After leaving a few more instructions, Christina left the factory. On the way back, she received Yerek’s call.
“Are you calling to ask for medical fees?”
