Chapter 198 Such Poor Taste?
Seeing that the man was silent and did not respond, Adele took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to continue asking, “Am I right?”
She clearly wanted to use such words to force him to leave, but for some reason, she wanted to know his answer in her heart.
“Adele, do you think my vision is that bad?” Damon looked up, his cold eyes not undulating at all.
This sentence instantly made Adele’s heart turn cold.
Damon said. He reached out and grabbed the woman’s shoulder, pushing her into the ward.
Adele was pushed to the side of the hospital bed. Before she could turn around, she heard the man’s deep and cold voice coming from behind her. “I promised the teacher, so I naturally won’t leave you alone.”
Hearing this, Adele’s heart tightened, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart.
So, he only cared about her because of his father. It seemed that from beginning to end, he did not care about her out of his own will.
For some reason, Adele suddenly felt a sense of oppression. She bit her lower lip and turned around. She looked at Damon seriously and said word by word, “From now on, you don’t have to worry about me. If Dad asks, I will explain it to him.”
When Damon heard this, he met her stubborn gaze. His heart tightened and his lips pursed into a line. He did not speak for a long time.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward again. Damon looked at the cold and unfamiliar little woman in front of him and his heart suddenly sank.
A few seconds later, he raised his hand and sat down on her shoulder. “Take a rest. I’ll get someone to send you back later.”
After that, he turned around and walked to the window. He took out his phone and called Ben.
Looking at the time, the activity over there should be ending soon.
The phone had just been dialed and no one answered it. Adele, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly got up and whispered, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
After that, she walked out of the room.
The moment the door closed, Adele secretly heaved a sigh of relief and headed to the bathroom.
The man’s answer was like a spell that lingered in her mind, unable to disperse.
Sure enough, she had always overestimated her position in Damon’s heart.
With a self-deprecating smile, she quickly walked into the bathroom. She took out her phone and looked at it. She saw a message from Li Yuan.
“Adele, Isabella is fine.”
“I saw the live broadcast. Are you okay?”
“I’m back at the event site. Where are you?”
“…”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Looking at the messages sent by several different times, Adele took a deep breath and raised her hand to reply to him. “I’m fine. I’m in the hospital now. The follow-up work of the event will depend on you.”
She and Li Yuan were the masterminds of this event. No matter what happened, the two of them would have to bear the responsibility together in the end. They could be considered grasshoppers on the same rope. At this time, they had to pay attention to the division of labor and not panic.
“Alright, leave it to me.”
Adele breathed a sigh of relief. He washed his hands and came out of the bathroom. Before he took two steps, he saw several people walking towards him from the corridor not far away.
Seeing the woman at the front, Adele was stunned. Wasn’t the long-haired woman wearing a beige colored fragrant wind suit Clara?
After a pause, Adele’s heart tightened. He subconsciously turned around and quickly returned to the bathroom.
Her heart was beating non-stop in her chest, as if she had done something wrong and was almost discovered.
Needless to say, she could imagine that Clara had suddenly appeared in the hospital at this time. He must have come to find Damon. If she went back to the ward now and happened to bump into them, how embarrassing would that be!
Moreover, she had no relationship with Damon in the first place. If she was misunderstood by Clara, she was afraid that they would be entangled with each other.
After hiding at the door of the bathroom for a long time, Adele heard that there was no sound in the corridor, and then slowly poked her head out and looked in the direction of the ward.
There were two men standing at the door, like Clara’s bodyguards. They stood guard at the door with serious expressions.
Adele secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that she had left the ward just now. Otherwise, if she had really been seen by Clara, she would have really jumped into the Yellow River and could not be washed clean.
On the other side, in the ward.
Damon had just hung up the phone when she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned around and saw the flustered Clara walking in from the door.
“Clara? Why are you here?” he asked, frowning slightly.
He had promised Clara that he would go to the Ye Family for dinner today, but he did not expect that something like that would happen at the last minute. Halfway there, he asked Ben to turn around and rush to the Bo Rui event.
“Damon, I heard that something happened at Bo Rui’s side. I was worried. I heard that you were in the hospital, so I rushed over immediately.”
There was a bit of anxiety in Clara’s tone, but his eyes quickly glanced around the ward. He did not see anyone else, so he secretly sighed in relief.
She had seen the videos from the live broadcast online. When she saw that Adele was injured, she was a little happy. However, she did not expect that Ben would call her and tell her that Damon had something urgent to do and might arrive later.
She naturally associated the two of them together and could not sit still. She immediately drove to the venue of the Borui event and followed him to the hospital.
Clara walked forward and held his arm naturally. “Damon, what happened?” she asked softly.
Damon’s eyes darkened, but his face was as cold as ever. He paused for half a second and said lightly, “Nothing serious. Someone is injured. I just came to the hospital to take a look.”
Clara’s eyes quickly swept across the ward, unwilling to let go of any suspicious corner. After making sure that she had not found anything, she leaned against Damon and asked with some curiosity, “Who is injured? Is the injury serious?”
“It’s nothing.” Damon said calmly. He raised his left hand slightly and glanced at his watch. “Clara, let’s go. We can still make it to lunch if we leave now.” He said softly.
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently embraced Clara. Then, he walked out of the ward.
Clara was delighted and quickly replied, “Alright, I’ll tell Dad to wait for us.”
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked out of the ward side by side.
Damon raised his eyes and looked around. He did not see that familiar figure. Then he subconsciously frowned and his eyebrows tightened.
Did Adele run away again this time?
How much did she hate him that she would think of ways to escape under his eyes again and again?
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard Clara’s sweet voice, “Damon, what’s wrong? Is there something?”
Just now, she had excitedly said a few words, but he did not respond.
“I still have some work to deal with. It’s fine. Let’s go first.” Damon came back to his senses and said lightly.
Clara nodded with a smile and held his arm as they walked towards the elevator.
Not far away, Adele shrunk at the door of the bathroom and watched the two of them leave intimately. His heart suddenly felt sour.
Why was it that when she saw Damon with another woman, she felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort?
