A Moment in Destiny

“How did you get injured?” He stood there and stretched his hand out as if he wanted to wipe away her tears. But when he raised his hand, he put down his hand afterwards and just looked at her who was crying desperately.

“I was hit by a car and injured myself. When you phoned me, I was getting the intravenous drip in the hospital and you didn’t allow me to explain, not even a word! Is there a need for me to inform you? You are not the Mr. White that I knew already, you wish for me to die... woo... you are waiting to laugh at us... boohoo...” Tears ran in rivulets down Leila Hunter’s cheek and her hand kept wiping them away.

“Stop crying!” His voice was deeper and he directly brought her upstairs.

Leila had been brought to the bedroom. She saw him opening the wardrobe to take out her T-shirt. He helped her to wear the shirt. She was stunned and shocked, causing tears to well up in her eyes. With the blurred eyesight, she apparently saw a flash of care in his eyes. Perhaps it was just her hallucination as it only lasted for a short time.

Then, he paused for few seconds and raised his lips suddenly. He said slowly, “Why are you crying?”

“I...”

“My wife should be someone who is multi-talented and will not cry when she meets obstacles?!”

Leila felt like she was struck by a lightning.

She stared at him with astonishment and saw that he was looking at her too. She did not know what his words and actions meant. She said again, “Mr. White...”

Vincent White had turned around and went downstairs. She looked at his tall body walking out of the bedroom.

Leila sniffed and went to the washroom to clean her face before following him to go downstairs. He helped her to wear the shirt and not sarcastic to her anymore so she would not be narrow-minded as well.

She walked towards the dining table and took a seat while he started eating already. The noodle had become a lump so she said softly, “The noodle is not nice to eat already.”

“Still edible!” He lowered his voice and did not care about the appearance of the noodle. After finishing a bowl of noodles, he handed the empty bowl to her and she took over.

There were two dishes and one bowl of noodles on the table. She carefully helped him to put the handmade noodle from the big bowl into the small bowl. The taste was fresh and good because the noodles were poured with some sesame oil and chives.

“The wound cannot have any contact with water because it will cause inflammation!” Vincent received the bowl given by Leila and said with a deep voice.

Leila was surprised that he suddenly cared for her. Her body stiffened as she was not used to it.

He looked at her and frowned. “Alright?”

“Yes! I understand.” She immediately nodded.

“Can you adapt to the job in the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office?” He asked again.

Unexpectedly, he asked her about her job so she nodded before figuring out the reason. She answered honestly, “Yes, the job is very relaxing!”

“Do you want to spend the rest of your life like this?” It seemed like she planned to be an office-bearer and received an average amount of salary for her whole life. Or, women were suitable to become office-bearer because it was a relaxing job. As long as the job did not involve politics, it would be easy for her.
