Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

The following morning, when I woke up, Charles was working on some files right beside the bed.

Gently, I called his attention.

"Charles."

He immediately stopped working, rushed to my side, and took care of me.He was so cautious in taking care of me that it made me think I was paralyzed or something.

At noon, I heard a knock on the door.It was Nina.She came in with a bouquet of flowers in hand.

"Hi, Scarlett," she muttered.

"Nina," I greeted her with a smile.

Nina approached the bedside.Her eyes were filled with tears, and she could barely speak, for she was on the brink of sobbing.

"How are you feeling now? Yesterday, you were covered in blood.I was so scared!" cried Nina.

"There's no need to worry anymore.I'm fine." I held her hand, gently patting it in an attempt to comfort her.

"I was really scared that you might never wake up, and that you…"

My heart sank when she said that.I held Nina's hand tightly, and shook my head at her.

"Stop it, Nina."

I glanced over at Charles and saw him sitting on the sofa.

He was still reading through some documents, but he looked awfully gloomy.

Nina looked at Charles as well and spoke in a hushed voice.

"You don't want him to worry about you?" she asked.

I winked at her, flashing an innocent smile.

Nina sighed at my non-verbal response.

"When I opened that door, I was so scared to see Charles first that I almost turned around and just left," she said.

"Why are you so afraid of him?" I asked, visibly confused.

With guilt written on her face, Nina whispered to my ear, "Yesterday, after you got stabbed, I was so agitated that I almost had a fight with Charles."

Her words warmed my heart and it put a smile on my face.

"Oh, Nina… It's okay.I'm sure he knows you're just worried about me like he is," I responded.

Nina breathed a sigh of relief and decided to change the topic.

"I saw your bodyguards catch Linda yesterday, but before long, Charles let her go.He's probably worried that his actions might affect your career in the TV station.But I do wonder… how did Charles know that Linda had no prior knowledge of what happened yesterday?"

Upon hearing Nina's question, I was lost in thought.

"Considering how Linda got to where she is right now, I'm sure she's not an idiot.Had she known that Lucia wanted to murder me, she wouldn't have allowed her to commit the crime inside the TV station," I answered.

Nina nodded in agreement.

"Hmm… that does make sense." I couldn't help but glance over at Charles again.

He was still focused on reading his documents.

‘'He looks so serious.He has a charm that's enough to make people fall in love with him at first sight.To top it off, he's so considerate of me.He's always thinking of what's best for me,’' I thought to myself.

There was no denying that he once hurt me deeply in the past, but it was also true that once he had fallen in love with someone, he would make sure that the woman he fell in love with would be the happiest woman on earth.

"You are so smitten by him!" Nina teased.

Shyly, I looked away and did my best to maintain my composure.

"No, I'm not! Don't spout nonsense, Nina."
