Let Me Stay The Night

Christina walked in and noticed that the shop was well-renovated. Once they put up the clothes, the store would be ready.

“I’ll go to the factory some other days to check on the first batch of goods. They should be ready by now,” said Christina seriously. Although the initial purpose of their collaboration was to find out Yerek’s intention toward her, she was still very serious when it came to the designs of the clothes. “I’ll make a move first since there isn’t any problem.”

Just as Christina was heading out of the store, the light of the signboard fell in her direction.

A dark figure pushed Christina in the nick of time.

The fallen lightbulb hit Yerek’s arm.

He groaned in pain. The very next moment, they saw blood seeping through his white shirt.

Christina did not expect Yerek to save her. She ran over guiltily and asked, “Are you all right?”

The workers also went over and took a look.

“I’m fine. Perhaps the glass cut me when the lightbulb hit me. Just send me to the hospital to get it bandaged,” said Yerek calmly.

Christina removed her jacket and did a simple bandage for him to stop the bleeding before the two of them left the mall.

As they were on the way to the hospital, the bleeding did not stop. When Christina saw that, she sped up.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine,” said Yerek.

Christina turned to look at him and frowned. “Your face looks pale.”

“If a little blood can gain me your concern, it’s worth it,” said Yerek weakly.

“I’m not moved by your action. Whatever the medical fee is. I will double it and pay you back.” If Christina did not know about the bad deeds that Yerek had done in the past, she might have been moved by his heroic act.

After all, she was only human.

Yerck looked at her grim face and those mesmerizing eyes of hers.

He leaned in his seat, kept his eyes on her, and said. “You were away for so many years. Why did Nathaniel still wait for you?”

Christina glanced at him and said nothing.

I can’t believe he knows that I was away for so many years. What else does he know about me?

“I suppose he wants something from you. That’s why he is unwilling to let you go,” said Yerek as he looked
