Chapter 298 Suspecting the Wrong Person
The air in the room seemed to have frozen. After an unknown period of time, Damon slowly came back to his senses.
“Forget it. Think about it yourself. Don’t forget that you still have a fiancee who is about to be engaged.” Su Yicheng sighed.
After saying this, he turned and left.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
For a moment, only Damon was left in the room.
Adele’s face kept appearing in his mind. In the end, he took a deep breath and suppressed all the impulse in his heart.
It seemed that from an unknown time, Adele had integrated into his life bit by bit in the most imperceptible way, and it was not easy to remove.
It seemed that he really should stop thinking about it. At least now, when the various situations in the company were unclear, he did not have the mood to think about anything else.
His eyes swept to the phone beside him. Damon picked it up casually and opened it to see the message from Clara.
“Damon, are you better?”
“I want to go to the hospital to see you, but I am afraid to disturb you.”
“I am really worried. I saw the news.”
“…”
Damon frowned slightly. Finally, he tapped his finger lightly and replied, “Come over.”
Coincidentally, he also had some matters that he wanted to ask her face to face.
After receiving Damon’s reply, Clara was so excited that she almost jumped up. She hurriedly changed her clothes and asked Huo Chuan to drive her to the hospital.
Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she impatiently pushed the door open and rushed in. “Damon!”
“I’m here,” said Damon as he looked up at her with an almost imperceptible coldness in his eyes.
“You’re finally willing to see me!” “I thought you were angry with me,” said Clara as he rushed to the side of the bed and held Damon’s hand.
“Why should I be angry with you? Did you do something?” asked Damon as his eyes turned red.
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water. It instantly woke Clara up a little. She looked up at Damon in panic and shook her head quickly. “No, last time I went to see you, it affected your rest. I thought you were angry and didn’t reply…”
Catching the panic in the woman’s eyes, Damon pulled the corners of her lips. “Am I so narrow-minded in your eyes?”
“No, I didn’t mean that…”
Clara’s voice became softer and softer. As he spoke, his tears kept falling like broken strings. “I just feel that you are colder to me than before. I am afraid…”
Seeing this, Damon raised his hand to press the space between his eyebrows and asked patiently, “Clara, I have something to ask you.”
Clara looked at him with tears in her eyes. She wiped the corners of her eyes and asked softly, “What is it?”
Damon did not want to keep him in suspense, so he directly got straight to the point. “Does the matter of the project proposal leaking have anything to do with you?”
Clara was startled and her back stiffened. Half a second later, she hurriedly said, “Damon, how can this matter have anything to do with me!”.
“My subordinates found out that you were in the car when Adele went to deliver the documents. And when you were at the Feng He intersection, you were alone in the car for about ten minutes.”.
Clara was shocked and quickly shook her head, “I… I didn’t see any business proposal. I didn’t know about it at all. Moreover, Damon, what benefits do I have for myself by doing this? You know that my thoughts are all on you!”.
As she spoke, she clenched Damon’s hands tightly and shook her head in a panic. Her eyes were red and she looked very pitiful.
Damon frowned, his mind in a mess.
He didn’t want to suspect anyone, but now that things had come to this, he had to personally investigate it.
“I grew up with you, and we’ve known each other for so many years. Why would I want to harm you?” Clara asked in a hoarse voice.
Damon was startled. Could it be that he was wrong?
He frowned and reached out to hold Clara’s hand. “I don’t mean to blame you. It’s just that since this has happened, I have to confirm every suspicious detail.”
“I know, Damon. I don’t blame you. I didn’t help you much either. I just caused trouble for you…” Clara leaned against his chest and sobbed.
The woman in his arms cried until her cheeks and ears were red. Her voice was muffled and a little pitiful. Damon raised his hand to pick up a tissue and helped her wipe away the tears on her face. “Alright, don’t cry anymore.”
“I heard Auntie say that the date of our engagement is about to be confirmed. Is that true?” Clara raised his head and looked at her with his eyes covered in fog.
Damon’s eyes flashed. The emotions in his eyes were a little complicated, but he still nodded.
Hearing this, Clara’s face instantly showed surprise. She opened her arms and hugged his arm. She said softly, “Then I can be with Damon forever in the future. I’m so happy…”
The corners of Damon’s lips curled up and he did not speak.
In the end, he raised his hand to help her brush away the broken hair beside her ear and looked at her with more tender affection.
This engagement ceremony was only used by others. The only person who could be purely happy was probably Clara.
In the next few days, the relationship between Clara and Damon seemed to have returned to the past. She came to deliver food and soup every day and accompanied him to eat. In addition, Damon’s body recovered very quickly. In less than a week, the wounds had all scabbed.
Before leaving the hospital, Clara was a little reluctant to end such a time. She pulled Damon’s hand and asked, “Damon, are you really not going to rest for another day?”
“I need to go to the company. I’ll accompany you when I have time in the future.”
“Alright, then I’ll take advantage of these few days to prepare for the engagement.” Clara let out a sigh of relief.
When he heard the word ‘engagement’, Damon paused for a moment and casually undid the buttons on his shirt. “Clara, go out and wait for me first. I’ll change my clothes.” His voice was a bit cold.
When Clara heard this, she smiled coquettishly. She did not move. Instead, she reached out and covered his hand. “Let me do it. I’ll help you change your clothes.”
Although the wound on his back had scabbed, he still couldn’t make a large movement. It was still very inconvenient to wear clothes like a shirt.
When she met this opportunity, Clara was extremely happy. She reached out to help him take the rest of the buttons. When she saw the honey-colored skin exposed on the man’s chest, her heart beat faster and a little hot.
The moment her soft little hand touched the man’s strong chest, Adele pursed her lips and smiled. But the next second, her hand was pinched.
“Clara.” “You go out first and ask Ben to come in,” Damon said in a stern voice.
“Damon…” “I can help you. Why bother others?” Clara looked up.
Besides, they were about to get engaged, so there was nothing to hide.
But who knew that Damon had a serious expression on his face and looked at her with an unwavering gaze. Her heart turned cold and she quickly retracted her hand. “Alright then, I’ll go out.”
As she spoke, she turned around unhappily and walked out of the ward.
Damon stood where he was, his brows furrowed and his emotions complicated.
He did not know why he would reject Clara’s touch so much, but when he was with Adele, he clearly did not feel this rejection.
Was it because he was used to her?
