DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 155
Chapter 155
Her sullen expression and tone amused Carlos.
He thought, “Don’t you notice the anger in your voice?”
“Then I’ll apologize to you, okay?” he said patiently.
Edith thought, “Oh my goodness. I almost forgive you. However, you disappeared these days and didn’t contact me. Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? I was terrified that something happened to you.
I’ve been worried about you for so long. Is that enough of an apology?
Just like the thief, if his apology could offset his wrongdoing, what was the point of the policemen? Could all the mistakes be forgotten?”
With tearful bloodshot eyes, she turned to look at him angrily “Carlos, others may think your apology is rare and might forgive you, but it means nothing to me. You suddenly disappear and send no message to me. Why do you reappear in front of me now? I don’t care what you do, but is it so difficult to tell me your whereabouts? Do you know that I often have nightmares at night? I dream that something happens to you, and you are covered in blood. It petrifies me.”
Before she could finish her words, she was held tightly by Carlos.
He tightly embraced her and stroked her lustrous hair.
He closed his eyes and apologized, “I’m sorry for making you worry about me.”
“I’m not worried about you. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.”
She struggled angrily, with her face all written with tears.
She thought, “Your body is too heavy. You press down on me, I cannot support you.”
She tried to push him away but failed to escape, no matter how hard she tried.
Right at that moment, his hand actually dropped, giving her a fright..
“Carlos!”
At the sight of this scene, Sam was startled. “Mr. Lawson has not slept or rested for a few days for this acquisition case. He is exhausted. In the middle of the night last night, he refused to rest and insisted on flying back to see you. He had a slight fever and felt slightly uncomfortable before leaving last night, but he endured it and said he was fine. Now it seems he is ill, so I’ll take you home immediately.”
“Aren’t you going to the hospital?”
“Mr. Lawson rarely goes to the hospital. There are private doctors in the villa. He is concerned about leaving his life to strangers and is used to being cautious about health matters.”
Edith was deeply shocked.
She thought, “Worried about leaving his life to a stranger?
What on earth has he experienced to be so careful?
How many enemies does he have to worry about going to the hospital?
What exactly has he experienced?”
Sam quickly drove back to the villa. The family doctor was already ready.
The doctor said that Carlos became sick due to an intensive workload and the lack of rest and suffered a fever now.
The doctor intended to ask Edith to leave, but Sam said, “Let her stay. Mr. Lawson came back overnight for her.”
Shaun was a little surprised, thinking, “Other than Natalie, there is someone else Mr. Lawson loves?”
He compressed his lips and did not say anything. He began to treat Carlos.
Sam said, “The board of directors did not handle the acquisition well and almost lost the chance. Mr. Lawson had to rush over and didn’t have time to tell you, Ms. White. He has been busy recently. Though he has missed you, he concentrated on work and knew that he would be distracted if he found out what happened to you.”
“Although Mr. Lawson did not show up in person, he asked Mr. Britton and Miss. Britton to look after you secretly. Today, when I received the news from the police, I hurried over and brought you back. Mr. Lawson is a little heartless and indifferent but has never treated you like this. He has always been strict with himself! I know you still blame him, but I hope you will discuss this matter with him when he recovers. Try to be fair to him, please?”
Edith trembled slightly.
She thought, “It turns out that during this period of time, Carlos has been so busy that he has no time to rest, let alone a call. He is so hardworking and meticulous.
I am full of anger, but now I don’t know how to vent it.
Chapter 155
The truth quelled my anger.
I tum depressed now.”
The doctor also administered the injection and said, “Mr. Lawson, you should rest well.
“Then I’ll go out with Jerrold first. Ms. White, you can stay here with him.”
Edith nodded in silence.
As soon as they left, he was lying on the bed in the large bedroom, and she stood there in a daze.
He slept uncomfortably, with his brows furrowed.
His original rosy face appeared colorless, and his charming lips turned pale.
She sighed slowly and finally sat by the bed to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with a towel.
As soon as she touched him, he moved.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, making her frown in pain.
“It hurts…”
She took a deep breath and cried out in pain.
Carlos frowned and quickly let go of her hand.
“I forgot that you’re here.”
The vigilance and indifference in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he regained his composure and turned tired.
His expression, full of rage, gave her lingering fear.
“How… how did you wake up?” Shocked, she stammered.
Carlos rubbed his aching temples and said, “I’ve always been attentive. Usually, Shaun takes care of me when I’m sick, so I’m familiar with him. Now I feel someone else approaching me and wake up. You seldom take care of me, so I’m still vigilant. If you keep me company for longer, I’ll rest assured when you look after me.”
His words moved her.
She thought, “You will rest assured when I look after you.”
These words echoed in her mind.
She stared blankly at him on the bed and found it hard to imagine that he was discussing such a serious topic.
“Carlos, why… aren’t you willing to give me a call?” She pouted and finally asked.
She didn’t want others‘ explanations but his.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and gently stroked her head with his big hand, full of affection and love.
He was like an adult placating a child.
