Chapter 15
Looking at the closed door, she assumed he was too busy with his work to help her.
She felt good after a good night’s sleep.
Having to stay with his grandmother, Goden Bran stayed up late studying before retiring to his room.
He sat with his back to her, remembering the moment she stood in the rain today. The concept he had in his head then was suddenly unclear and lost…
“Cough, cough…”
He turned around and found her curled up in the blanket, shivering…
His heart contracted as he sat up and turned her body over to check if she was shivering. Her pale white skin and the damp hair on her forehead shocked him…
“Ava?”
He got up from the bed and put a piece of cloth over her shoulders to take her fever. “Uncle Sam!” he called as he opened the door. ”
, “High fever! She would have died if she had come any later!
Goden Bran looked at her pale face y.
“Ava Lins, why do you have to be so persistent?” he muttered coldly, holding her hand.
He despised her bravery and even her admiration for him!
But now his heart warmed…
He regretted her stubbornness and stupidity, because he could not be with her, not only because he did not love her, but because…
“Do not make a fool of yourself anymore and do not force me to do something that will hurt you,” he said.
“You’ll be happy when you divorce me and leave me.”
She would no longer suffer if she left him. She would have a simpler, happier life…
He wished she would leave him He had no idea that one day she would remember him.
He went out and left her alone in the hospital.
Ava’s eyes sparkled as the door closed…
She blinked and stared at the door in a blur. She was determined. One day, he would fall in love with her…
A week later, Ava returned to work. Her grandmother came to see her at the hospita.
When Grandmother mentioned Goden Bran to Ava, Ava could only grin.
Her body was still weak from her illness. She sat at her desk,. She wanted to relax, but she dozed off.
Jeorge Milton saw that she had been absent for two days, sleeping on the desk. The manager behind him was embarrassed and wanted to walk up to her and wake her up, but Jeorge Milton stopped him .
Ava had been working late at the office. She put her things down and waited for the elevator, but she did not expect to run into Jeorge Milton at that moment.
He tilted his head and looked at her as the elevator gently lowered. His penetrating gaze made her hold her breath and she wondered why the elevator was so sluggish.
She just rolled her eyes as she could not take his gaze anymore.
Her angry gaze tickled his heart.
“Are you sick?” he asked with an almost imperceptible grin.
“…”
“Ava Lins, have you forgotten?”
“What are you trying to say?” asked Ava.
He smirked .
” I helped you pay that ten thousand dollars, when did you return it to me? ”
Ava was unsure since she had no money to return it. “I’ll return it as soon as I can.”
“I need it now?” he worriedly asked.
She stared at his grin and realized he was forcing her.
“you have two alternatives,” Jeorge Milton said, his lips curved up, his grin captivating.
“What?”
He grabbed her wrist, unlocked the elevator door, and dragged her outdoors…
“Why did you bring me here?” Ava Lins asked the guy beside her as the car approached Jeorge Milton’s mansion.
“Get out,” he ordered, parking the car and looking sideways at her perplexed face.
Seeing her enraged look, Jeorge Milton unlocked the car door and dragged her out, grasping her wrist .
“What are you trying to do?”
“Ava Lins, I’m hungry,” he replied lazily, his eyes burning with curiosity.
“So?””
This dude was insane!
He came looking for her when he was hungry,!
She turned and went away, staring.
“Let go!” Ava yelled back as he grabbed her arm.
“Help me cook,” he offered gently.
“The housekeeper is off for a week. You can replace her this week.”
“According to the wage of a servant, I shall subtract it from the one hundred thousand dollars.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Was this the second way he mentioned?
“Or should I go ask your sister for the money?” she said, glaring at him and pulling his hand away. Or… Tell her what happened… ”
Ava knew that provoking him would ruin her calm existence…
He didn’t let her leave, “You should think carefully .”
“You’re not frightened of getting poisoned ?” Ava clenched her teeth and muttered.
Seeing her vibrant back as she walked, his grin became thicker…
When Jeorge Milton walked down the stairs, he noticed her cheerfully tearing off the flesh from the kitchen board, and a helpless grin emerged in his eyes, does she regard him like that lump of meat paste?
She leapt in fear, and the blade sliced her finger before she could completely grasp it.
Ava screamed in agony as she saw her fingers sliced open.
“Why are you so careless?” he said, taking her hand and leading her to the counter to wash her hands.
His voice was soft, warming her heart.
She naively gazed as he helped her cleanse her wounds, her eyes moistened.
“Ava Lins, you ‘re so young?”
His sarcastic tone made her heart throb.
Looking at his face, Ava imagined a frigid face.
He raised his eyes, recognizing her stare, and she swiftly bowed her head, her tears quietly dripping.
