Chapter 180 Being Humble, She Made Herself Fall
Lawrence kept silent, and so did Nita. She went on applying medicine for him.
After a while, Nita spoke.
"Well, don't get your arms wet, don't apply force on them. You should know these notes better than me. I don't need to tell you
again." After packing up the things, Nita stood up and was about to leave. However, when she just turned around, her hand was
grabbed by someone.
Her heart sank, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Anything else?" Nita said in a cold voice. She didn't want him to find anything wrong with her.
"Thank you." His hoarse voice indicated that he was exhausted.
Nita clenched her teeth, trying to hold back her cry.
She suddenly withdrew her hand, and pulled Lawrence's injured arm with too much force. He couldn't help but groan in pain,
which made Nita's heart clench immediately.
She wanted to turn around to see if his wound was torn again, but finally, she resisted it and left without looking back.
She knew that he didn't belong to her.
Even though he knew she loved him, he still pretended not to see it. In his heart, Jessie was more important than anything.
When Lawrence returned to the villa with wound, Jessie walked up immediately when she saw him, caught hold of him and
asked, "Lawrence, where have you been in the past few days? You said you will help me find Daniel. Do you have any clue?"
When being pulled so hard by Jessie, Lawrence felt a sharp pain from his arms. He wanted to tell her what had just happened,
but when he saw the expectant look on Jessie's face, he didn't say that.
He said in a weak voice, "I'm sorry. I have been busy with other things these days. I've sent people to look for Daniel. I'll tell you
as long as there's any news. Can you be patient for a few more days?"
Hearing that, Jessie's bright eyes turned gloomy all of a sudden. She said sulkily, "Oh."
Apparently, Lawrence saw that she was unhappy, but he didn't want to force her to do anything. He held her hand and comforted
her softly, "Jessie, I know you are worried about Daniel and hope he can come back soon. In fact, I feel the same as you. But we
really could not rush to find him. They have been trying hard to find him. Can you give them a little more time?"
Jessie nodded, "Yes, I know. I'm just too anxious."
"Well, don't worry. I'll tell you as soon as there's any news. You should stay at home and recuperate, so that you can see Daniel
in your best condition." Seeing that Jessie's smile came back, Lawrence excused that he needed to go back to the room for
something and went upstairs painfully.
Because Jessie touched his arms unintentionally, Lawrence's wound was torn, blood wet the gauze, and even his clothes were
stained with red blood.
After taking some gauze to bind up his wound casually, Lawrence fell asleep in bed with tiredness.
On the other hand, Nita came and gave something to Ken and was planning to go upstairs to have a look on Lawrence's wound.
But when she opened the door, she saw Lawrence lying on the bed with a sad face.
She approached him and called his name softly, but he still didn't respond. She reached out her hand and touched his forehead.
The moment she touched his forehead, her hand felt the hot temperature and she immediately took back her hand. Then Nita
opened his sleeve and saw a dazzling red blood. She was not sure if she was angry or painful. Anyway, it was hard to tell.
She quickly went downstairs, fetched the medicine box, put Lawrence in place, and covered him with a quilt. Then, Nita began to
treat his wound.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful of the wound? It was only stitched for a while, but the wound was torn. What the hell do you want?"
Nita complained as she sewed up the wound. She really felt bad because of his injury.
The slight infection of the wound led to a high fever in his body. During the whole night, Nita stayed by his side and fed him with
water and medicine. She took care of him for the whole night.
Although she didn't close her eyes all night, she was satisfied and happy.
If it wasn't for this opportunity, she might never have a chance to take care of him in the rest of her life.
However, Nita was somewhat unhappy to trade his pain for this chance.
After all, it was because of that woman, not her.
"Jessie! Jessie!"
The soft murmur woke up Nita who was just asleep.
"Lawrence, what did you say?" Nita looked up and said gently.
"Jessie..."
Hearing this, Nita was suffocated. She stood up suddenly, turned around and was about to leave because of anger.
She helped him dress his wound; she took care of him for a whole night when he got a fever. Even when he was scalded
because of Jessie last time, it was her who took care of his wound carefully. But what about him? Why was his heart full of
Jessie without anyone else?
'Jessie! Jessie! You loved that woman so much, but what did she do to you?
The whole world could see that Jessie did not like you at all. She was just using you, but what about you?
Lawrence, you were such a big fool! The biggest fool in the world!'
The more Nita thought about it, the angrier she got. At the same time, her heart ached.
'Lawrence was a fool. I was a fool too.
Jessie didn't like Lawrence, but Lawrence would do anything for her unconditionally. Lawrence didn't me at all! But what about
me? I always wanted to stay with him no matter he wanted me or not. I was doing the same thing as he did to Jessie!'
Thinking of this, Nita sank back into the chair in low spirits.
She held his warm hands tightly.
How she wished that time could stop in this way for the rest of her life.
She was willing to do anything, even at the cost of losing everything.
"Water! Water!"
"Coming! Coming!" Hearing this, Nita immediately stood up, took the spoon and scooped out some water to his mouth, but
Lawrence couldn't drink it at all. The water came out from the corner of his mouth and wet his clothes.
Nita wiped the water off as she was anxious.
In a moment of anxiety, she took a sip of water, bowed her head and kissed the dry lips.
Water slowly flowed into his mouth along her mouth, and he swallowed bit by bit.
When Nita was about to stand up, she was held tightly by a pair of strong arms and she was pressed down under his body.
"Hm..."
A hot kiss came. Nita went blank at once and was petrified completely.
A sudden chill came to her. Nita closed her eyes nervously and her heart beat wantonly with it.
The night was like a dream, hard to imagine.
Looking at the sleeping face beside her, Nita felt a bit of joy. But mostly, she felt sad and pathetic.
What made her sad was that she became so humble just for a relationship.
What made her sad was that she couldn't get the love of this man. Even if she had a night with him, or he didn't feel a little bit,
she actually didn't care about it. She felt happy.
Although Nita wasn't liked and always regarded as an ominous person by others, she never felt she was bad.
She would never allow herself to fall.
But today, she even allowed herself to do whatever she wanted.
