Chapter 292 Why Lie
Hearing this, Damon’s eyes flashed, and she frowned slightly in dissatisfaction. “What do you think?”
How could he not be worried when she left Yusuf family with injuries?
Adele met his eyes, and quickly shifted her gaze to the man’s broad shoulders. She moved her lips and said hesitantly, “Your injuries… Hiss -”
She had only spoken halfway when her body trembled with pain, and her brows tightened.
At this time, the nurse next to him whispered, “Continue to apply the medicine. It will hurt a little. Bear with it.”
Adele snorted softly and slowly clenched his hands.
Damon looked up. The corner that was opened by the nurse revealed Adele’s back. There seemed to be a black and red snake crawling on her fair skin. The wound looked a little scary.
It must be very painful.
Damon frowned. Without a word, she pulled the chair next to her and sat down on the bed. She reached out to hold the woman’s small hand.
At this time, the nurse had already started to apply the medicine. Adele frowned in pain and closed her eyes. She could not care so much. Her hand unconsciously grasped the big hand with warmth.
“Hiss -”
The nurse slowly lifted the quilt covering her back. Two long scars were finally fully revealed. The scars were particularly conspicuous on Adele’s smooth back, and they were very dazzling.
Damon frowned, his throat rolling. “Will such a wound leave a scar?” he asked unconsciously.
“It might leave a scar. If you take good care of it, the scar will fade a little.”
Hearing this, Damon’s eyebrows tightened a little.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too tense, the nurse continued to move her hands as she said softly, “But it doesn’t matter. Even if there is a scar, as long as the boyfriend doesn’t mind.”
As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Damon.
He had suddenly appeared here, so this nurse naturally treated him as a boyfriend.
Damon paused, his thin lips moving slightly as he spat out a few words, “I don’t care.”
When the nurse heard this, she smiled ambiguously, and her gaze towards Adele became even more envious.
Adele, the person involved, only cared about enduring the pain. She had no time to care about them at all. She closed her eyes tightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept pouring out of her forehead.
“It will be ready soon. Bear with it.”
As the nurse said this, she quickly applied the medicine and began to bandage it.
Because she did not rest, the wound that had been bandaged was opened and bleeding, so it would definitely be very painful if it was bandaged again.
Adele felt a stinging pain on her back. It was even more painful than the moment when she had just been whipped. Her hand that was holding Damon involuntarily tightened and tightened.
A moment later, the pain eased. She slowly stabilized her breathing and opened her eyes.
“It has been bandaged. Remember not to move too much so as not to open the wound again.”
Adele nodded and inadvertently raised her eyes. She noticed that the man sitting by the window was frowning. She looked down and found that she was holding his hand tightly. Her nails were embedded in the back of his hand, and a row of small white crescent moons had been formed.
She was shocked and quickly released her hand. “I’m sorry…”
“It’s fine.” “You are obviously so afraid of pain, why did you block the whip for me at that time?” Damon asked in a low voice.
This sentence had been stuck in his heart for several days, and only then did he have the chance to ask.
When Adele heard this, panic flashed across her face for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. “The project proposal has passed through my hands. There is a possibility that it will be leaked, so I am also responsible. I just bear the punishment that I deserve.”
Her tone was serious, as if she was not involved in any personal feelings.
“That day when you went to deliver the project proposal, wasn’t Clara in the car?” Damon’s eyes darkened.
Hearing this, Adele instantly widened his eyes and looked at him, “How did you know?”
She deliberately hid this from him, but he still found out. Did he go to investigate again?
“Why are you lying?” Damon asked, staring at her.
For a moment, Adele was at a loss and did not know how to answer.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Answer me.”
The man raised his voice and his tone was cold. Adele knew very well that he was already angry.
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She gathered her courage and said, “I’m afraid that it will ruin the relationship between the two of you. And I don’t think Miss Moore is the one who leaked the proposal.”
The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds. Then, Damon’s angry voice sounded, “You…”
He suddenly stood up. Before he could finish speaking, his body froze and his expression changed.
Adele hurriedly looked up. When she saw his expression, she was shocked. “Is it the wound on his back?”
Damon frowned and his lips were a little pale. Before he could speak, Adele had already called out to the nurse who had finished packing and was about to leave. “Nurse… He also has an injury on his back!”
When the nurse heard this, she immediately looked back. Seeing that Damon’s expression was not right, she hurriedly walked over and walked behind him to take a look. She was shocked again. “It’s bleeding!”
“His injury is more serious than mine. Nurse, please treat him quickly,” Adele said in a panic.
The nurse did not dare to be negligent and immediately took Damon to deal with the wound.
Adele was told not to move around and could only lie on the bed in a hurry. After more than half an hour, the nurse came over and smiled at her. “Your boyfriend’s wound has been bandaged. He is in the next ward. If you need anything, you can call me.”
Hearing the word “boyfriend”, Adele pulled the corner of her lips in embarrassment. Seeing the nurse turn to leave, she had to swallow the words of explanation.
However, when she heard that his wound had been treated, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally calmed down.
She lay on the bed and thought back to what had happened in the past few days. Her emotions were complicated and indescribable. In the end, she fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up again, she was woken up by the ringing of her phone.
She picked up her phone in a daze. Only then did she realize that it was already dark outside. When she saw the flashing caller ID on the screen, she gasped and pressed the answer button. “Hello, Mr. Yusuf.”
“Are you hungry? I have food here. Do you want to send it to you?” the man asked in a deep voice.
Adele was a little startled and felt a little flattered. “Yes… thank you.”
When she woke up, she was feeling hungry and uncomfortable.
However, as soon as she hung up the phone, her body moved. She suddenly remembered that Damon was still injured. If he got up and sent it to her, he might pull the wound.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to go over and get it herself. She slowly got up and got out of bed. When she walked out of the ward, she turned around and saw that the door of the ward next to her was half open. She hesitated for a moment and walked over.
When she pushed open the door, the first thing she saw was Su Yucheng, who was standing by the window, and then Damon, who was sitting on the bed.
Seeing the woman at the door, Damon frowned. “Why are you here?”
He had already said that he would send it to her, but he did not expect her to come here on her own.
Adele also did not expect that there would be someone else in the room. He stammered, “I… came to get something.”
“Didn’t the nurse forbid you from moving around? I can get someone to send it to you.” Damon frowned even more deeply.
Adele’s face burned and he could not speak. “Then…”
Seeing the two of them like this, Su Yicheng burst out laughing and looked at Damon with a deeper meaning.
Adele took a deep breath and lowered his voice. “Then I’d better go.”
Seeing her walk towards the door with her head down, Damon’s heart tightened and he blurted out, “Stop!”
