Chapter 119


    “How can you be so foolish?” Christopher sighed and leaned his forehead against mine. “Sometimes, I


    wish that I could just hang you onto my belt so that I could watch over you all day long. That way, you


    won’t keep getting into idents. I was right there, but something still happened to you.”


    I pouted and mumbled softly, “If I’m not foolish, how can you appear more amazing inparison? If


    I’m too impressive, you wouldn’t have the chance to act like the hero, nor would you have known me.”


    A strange glint shed past Christopher’s eyes. “Perhaps you were the hero and you were the one


    who’s given me the chance to know you.”


    “Haha! Did you dream that I saved you, so you were all prepared to give yourself up to me?” I joked.


    He gazed at me as though he was telling me that what he said was the truth. However, I knew that it


    was impossible for me to forget such an outstanding man like Christopher unless I had lost my


    memory.


    “Yeah, you saved me when I was in danger. That’s why I fell in love with you, a heroine who could do


    something so bold despite being so foolish and scared.” Christopher stared at me intently.


    For the next half an hour, we spent it being lovey-dovey with each other, during which Christopher’s


    phone rang multiple times. It was obvious that he needed to attend to something. Thinking that I


    shouldn’t dy him any longer, I said, “Hurry on back. I’ll be careful for the remaining days and I


    promise to stay away from that despicable man.”


    “Don’t let your injurye into contact with water, and don’t eat any spicy food. You need to take care


    of your injury. Also…” Christopher was usually a serious person who was stern and decisive during


    formal business discussions. It was difficult to imagine him bing so naggy in front of me.


    I chuckled and pushed him to the window. “I’ll just avoid everything that can harm me, alright?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “You silly girl!”


    Christopher kissed me again before flipping out of the window agilely. Just around the corner of the


    secluded garden outside was the Lane family’s courtyard. I had observed it before and I reckoned that


    he would appear in the house first before walking out through the main door.


    Since I was injured, there was no need for me to go out unless there was an important event where


    everyone had to attend. Looking at the bandages on my hands, Imented my pitiable state before


    burying myself under the nkets.


    Before I knew it, I fell asleep. After I woke up, I felt like I had be a pig who only knew how to eat


    and sleep. After asking the servant to send some food over, I then decided to take a stroll outside.


    I walked toward the capacious garden and peered over. There was a pavilion a distance away, with


    pretty shrubs and sculptures. The scenery was rather pretty. How big is the Lane family? I guess only


    the Goldstein family canpare to its wealth, huh.


    In Avenport, only the Goldstein family couldpare to the Lane family. However, the Goldstein family


    had been keeping a low profile recently, rarely interacting with the other prominent families. The reason


    seemed to be that the patriarch of the Goldstein family was suffering from poor health and had gone


    overseas to recuperate.


    I found a secluded area and sat on a stool. Propping my chin up, I stared at the clouds. The evening


    sky was bathed in a golden hue by the sunset, while fluffy clouds dotted the vast sky. asionally,


    some white clouds would be illuminated in a red glow due to the setting sun.


    The sky darkened gradually, signaling the passing of the day. I was nning to go back to the doctor to


    get a fresh change of bandage before going to sleep so that I could prepare for the cruise party


    tomorrow when I heard footstepsing from the shrubbery behind, which was quickly followed by a


    heated argument.


    My first thought was that a couple was arguing. Although I did not like to eavesdrop on others, I


    recognized who the couple was the moment both of them spoke. Their conversation piqued my


    curiosity, so I hid behind a sculpture, craned my neck, and peered over.


    “Why did you pass me the spiked drinkst night?” Lyle stared at Crystal coldly, which was something


    unprecedented. It seemed like he was indeed oblivious to what happenedst night and was used by


    Crystal. Considering how proud and weak-willed Lyle was, he definitely could not tolerate others


    keeping him in the dark.
