Chapter 213 Aftermath
Almost all the media were present at the scene to report the abduction, but unexpectedly they had all
broadcasted Horace walking! This was even more exciting than the abduction case itself, and of
course, Horace would not be able to get off of it easily.
For a time, major social media were full of reports and videos about this incident. In just half a day, the
fact that Horace was not disabled spread throughout the city.
When ra woke up, it was already midnight. After looking around, she realized that she was in the
hospital.
Looking sideways, she saw that Horace was already asleep beside her bed. It''s just that he didn''t seem
to have a sound sleep. His eyebrows were frowning, and the corners of his mouth were also
downwards. He was tired but he was not rxed at all even in his sleep.
ra raised her hand, trying to smoothen his furrowed brows, but her body was still numb from the

"ra, ra..."

been frightened by what happened during the day.
"It''s alright. I''m here." raforted Horace in a low voice, raised a hand, and stroked his head
gently.
Maybe it was because her movements were a little stiff, Horace woke up.
As their eyes met, they both discovered worry and fear in each other''s eyes. The horrible incident just
now had made them both exhausted.
Looking at each other for a moment, Horace hugged ra in his arms. He almost pressed her into his
chest, as he was so afraid of losing her.
"Horace, could you loosen your grip a bit?"
But instead, Horace tightened his arms.
"Horace, it hurts."
It wasn''t until ra cried out in pain that Horace finally slowly loosened his grape.
The two hugged each other in silence. ra felt that Horace''s body trembled slightly.
"Horace, what''s the matter with you?" ra asked, a little puzzled.
After a long time, ra heard Horace whispering, "ra, promise me that you will never leave me in
the future!"
Seeing Horace''s eyes, ra couldn''t help but feel a pain in her heart. Those eyes were full of worry
and affection for her, and it seemed that he was begging her for an affirmative answer.
Unable to restrain herself, ra kissed Horace''s eyes, "Okay, I promise."
As soon as ra''s lips left Horace''s eyes, his lips covered hers. Different from what was in the past,
Horace''s kiss was a little impatient this time, as if he wanted to gobble her up and put her on the tip of
his heart. It seemed that only in that way, could he protect her from any hostility in this world.
But ra did not feel ufortable at all, but tried her best to respond to him…
After the kiss, the mood of the two of them stabilized a lot.
ra remembered that previously, Horace left his wheelchair and ran to save her. She looked at
Horace and asked worriedly, "now all of them have known that your legs are fine! What can we do
now? It''s all because of me..."
Thinking of this, ra couldn''t help but me herself. If it wasn''t for saving her, Horace would not have
exposed his secrets to the public.
Sean would know this secret soon, and he would definitelye up with something eviler to deal with
Horace.
Horace seemed to know what ra was thinking. He held her in his arms and said, "It''s alright, I''ve
nned to disclose this for a while, and it''s about time now. I''m ready for what''sing next. Don''t you
worry about me?"
"So, what are you going to do now?" asked ra.
"I''m going to hold a press conference tomorrow to exin the cause and effect of this incident to
everyone."
"Then shall I go with you?" ra hoped that she could apany Horace to face these things
together.
"No, your body is still weak, and it is not suitable for you to appear in front of the public. I can handle
that by myself."
Horace knew ra''s intentions, but he didn''t want her to face these messy things, she only needed to
live a good life under his protection.
"I am fine now, really. I was just a bit startled from it, but not physically harmed." ra exined
anxiously.
"Be a good girl and rest. There will be a live broadcast tomorrow and you can watch it here in the
hospital." Seeing the persistence in Horace''s eyes, ra finallypromised.
"Okay." ra nodded. She didn''t want him to worry either. She decided to do what he wanted.
The next morning, after having breakfast with ra, Horace went to the office to arrange the press
conference.
When colleagues from the magazine office heard that ra was hospitalized, they all came to see her.
"ra, are you alright? Are you injured?" As soon as Sarah entered the ward, she asked ra
incessantly, her face full of worry.
"Sarah! ra needs to rest. Could you please be a little bit quiet?" Stephanie stopped Sarah from
being such a loudspeaker. She really did not want to disturb ra.
"Sarah, we''re not in a musical festival." Some other colleagues also joked.
Sarah''s face blushed and she spoke to ra in a hushed voice, "Sorry, am I too loud?"
"Of course not, don''t worry, I''m fine. "ra was in a good mood. She was happy to see theming to
visit today.
"ra, we misunderstood you a few days ago. We shouldn''t say that to you. Don''t take it to your
heart." one of her Colleagues apologized to ra with a blushing face. She badmouthed her by saying
ra was cheating behind Horace''s back.
"Please forget about that. Now everyone knows that Mr. Kirnd is perfectly healthy, and the rumors
have all been disproved. They all envy you for having a good husband." Sarah said.
After hearing Sarah''s words, ra was a little puzzled, "Everyone knows? What the heck is going on?"
"Don''t you know? It''s trending now on Twitter." Sarah took out her phone and showed it to ra.
ra took the mobile phone and swiped, and found that most of the local hot topics were about
Horace.
