Trapped In Tasty Lips

Chapter 13 Investigation

"She didn't come here to see me. She just listened to my mother's order!" Leo said in a cold voice.

"I don't think that girl is willing to listen to your mother's order. What do you think? " As James spoke, he tentatively looked at Leo.

Sitting in front of the desk, Leo frowned deeply. "Of course she won't give up, but..."

Tapping the table with his hand again and again, Leo was lost in thought. James, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Is it true as the investigation said that she did it all for money..."

"How's your investigation on the acquisition case of F Group? Do you still have time to chat with me here? " Leo said with a smile.

At the sight of this smile, James disappeared in a flash. Before he left, he muttered, "You're really getting more and more unpredictable..."

After James left, Leo walked to the window again.

After getting in the car of Ellis, Wendy said directly, "Send me back to the Jiang Family. Thank you so much today!"

"Let's go to have dinner together as a thank-you to me, okay?" Ellis suddenly suggested.

Wendy was startled and blushed. "No, thanks. Mrs. Georgina will definitely scold me if I'm late. You can put me down at the corner ahead and I can take a car back. It's too troublesome for you today..."

Wendy didn't know if it was her own illusion or not, she always felt that Ellis was too eager to get close to her. Now that she was living under someone's roof, she didn't want to cause any trouble, she just wanted to get the money from Leah and then take her mother away from here.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"You... You seem to be hiding from me! " Ellis seemed a little disappointed, the smile at the corners of his mouth disappeared, and his eyes were filled with a faint sense of loss.

Wendy suppressed the tenderness, such a gentle man was so tempting when he felt a little bit sad! Wendy felt that she was going to lose control of herself.

"Don't think too much. It's just... Just because I'm worried that Mrs. Georgina will be unhappy, and then... "

Wendy was in a dilemma, Ellis also found that, so he quickly smiled and said, "Well, it doesn't matter! I'll drive you back now... "

He turned the steering wheel smartly and the car turned to the direction of the Jiang Family. There were not many cars on the way, a motorcycle suddenly rushed out with a fast speed. When the shaking motorcycle came out, it was obvious that neither Ellis nor Wendy had expected this scene.

It was too late to dodge, so Ellis had to step hard on the gas and turn the steering wheel to the most left, which was just along the roadside.

All of a sudden, Wendy almost instinctively grabbed Ellis's body and pulled him fiercely towards her side.

"Bang!" the car collided violently nearly out of the roadside, and Wendy blocked the front of Ellis, so she was thrown out of inertia. Fortunately, she had the seat belt pulled back and in the end hit the air bag.

After the huge collision, everything fell into deathly silence.

Ellis felt dizzy, but he was still a doctor, it was just a shock, and there was no injury all over his body.

But... Wendy!

Ellis hurriedly pulled the unconscious Wendy into his arms. Wendy just passed out. Thank God, there was only bruise on her forehead, with faint blood seeping out. There were no other injuries.

If it weren't for Wendy, he would have been the one who got hurt.

"You saved my life again..." Ellis said haltingly, but Wendy didn't hear it clearly at this time. Ellis's eyes were filled with great pain.

He took out a handkerchief and gently pressed Wendy's injured forehead, and then took her out of the car.

The man on the motorcycle was obviously drunk. At this moment, his body was full of the smell of alcohol, and his whole face flushed because of fear. Gradually, his face turned into the color of darken red.

Apparently, he was frightened by the car accident caused by him, he was still sitting on the ground and panting heavily. When Ellis walked up to the man, a strong hatred appeared in his gentle eyes, he tightened the grip on Wendy in his arms and then sneered, "Don't think about getting out of prison for the rest of your life..."

The man's original drunkenness had been reduced by fear, and at this time, his face turned pale from the previous red.

When Wendy woke up again, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead, which made her delicate and beautiful face instantly shrink together. Before she could react to the strong smell of disinfectant, a tall figure had already stood in front of her.

It was Ellis!

"Are you okay?" Ellis's eyes were covered with anxiety and worry now.

Wendy was used to this man's smile, but now she was not used to his worries. "I'm fine, just a little headache..." As soon as Wendy put her hand on the forehead, the piercing pain came again.

"Alas! Don't touch it... " Ellis was faster than Wendy and held her hand tightly.

"Don't let your wound tear open again..." Ellis said worriedly, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have been injured..."

"Doctor Ellis, it's not your fault! We didn't expect that person to suddenly rush out! " Wendy pulled her hand out of Ellis's quietly.

Wendy didn't notice the confusion and disappointment in Ellis's eyes.

"Can I go back now?" Wendy got out of the bed and thought, 'If I go back late, I don't know what Mrs. Georgina will think of me!'!

In order to win Georgina's favor, she had tried her best these days, so she couldn't let her efforts fall short of success.

"I've checked for you. It's just a minor bruise, not a concussion. But... You'd better stay and observe for a while! It's better for you... "

However, Wendy smiled and said, "Well, you're a doctor, and you've already said I'm fine. I believe you. I'm fine!"

Wendy insisted on going back, Ellis seemed to be familiar with her stubborn character, he couldn't change her mind, so he didn't say anything, but just frowned and put his black windbreaker on Wendy, and then gently helped her down.

When they got home, it was completely dark. Wendy was a little worried about Georgina's attitude, but just as it was said, the more worried you were, the more possible it would happen.

When Wendy arrived at the Jiang Family with the help of Ellis, Georgina, who used to doing facial maintenance upstairs, unexpectedly appeared in the hall of the living room. Seeing their hands supporting each other, Georgina suddenly became cold, and Wendy immediately felt a chill on her back.

Wendy couldn't help but tremble, almost instinctively, she pulled her hand out of the hand of Ellis. With a fake smile on her face, she said, "Mrs. Georgina, it's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

All of a sudden, Georgina stood up and walked up to Wendy, who also tensed up, but still kept a smile on her face and the corners of her mouth were stiff.

Georgina's eyes were not as kind as usual, but gloomy and sharp. "Well, Wendy! You should know that you are now a member of Guan Family, you should know when you should go back home. And it's not a good thing to... Fooling around outside... "

Hearing this, Wendy's chest suddenly tightened, she didn't dare to look at Georgina, which was the suffering of living under other people's roof.

It seemed that she was talking to Wendy, but indeed she was telling Ellis, who was standing behind her.

It seemed that Ellis didn't hear the sarcasm in the words, he walked to the side of Wendy with a smile as usual, and said to Georgina, whose face was gloomy, "Mrs. Jiang, you really misunderstood. When I sent Miss Wendy to the company of Leo today, there was a car accident. After all, it was Miss Wendy who saved me, or I wouldn't have been standing here safe and sound!"

Ellis just wanted to explain for Wendy, but Georgina was a strong and self-centered woman, she always believed what she saw. Although she also saw the white bandage on Wendy's hand, what annoyed her was that the two of them leaned against each other and walked back.

Georgina sneered, "Dr. Ellis, I think you'd better not meddle in other people's family affairs..."

Hearing this, Ellis was stunned and his face suddenly froze. Wendy couldn't help turning around and said to him with a smile, "Dr. Ellis, anyway, thank you very much today. Now... It's getting late, you'd better go home now. Don't let your family worry about you! "

Ellis certainly knew that Wendy just didn't want to embarrass him, and he was grateful to her. A strange emotion emerged in his heart again.

But at this moment, Ellis still pretended not to understand anything and smiled at Georgina, "In that case, I really have to leave..." Before leaving, he whispered to Wendy, "I'll come to see you next time when I'm free!"

Although the words were light, Georgina was standing very close to them, so she heard it and her face became more and more gloomy.

Wendy thought to herself, 'Is Ellis a malicious man from the heaven who came here to create trouble for me?'

At the thought of this, Wendy only felt annoyed, but she could only smile and said gently, "Okay."
