Chapter 484


    The doctor bandaged my wound for me. When he was disinfecting me, the alcohol caused my wound


    to hurt. I could have endured that pain, but when Christopher yelled so loudly, I felt indignant. With


    tears welling up in my eyes, I protested, “I’m worried about you, so I couldn’t help but pounce over. It


    really hurts, but you’re stillshing out at me!”


    Christopher’s anger dissipated in an instant. Sighing helplessly, he told the doctor to be gentler before


    saying to me softly, “I’ve told you multiple times to stop jumping into dangerous situations. Why don’t


    you just listen to me? If you dare to keep getting yourself into danger, I’ll have to teach you a good


    lesson.”


    I remained silent and looked pitiful. Christopher sat beside me, blew at the wounds on my forehead


    gently and said, “It’s good that you know it hurts. In the future, just hide in my arms whenever danger


    arises. My hug will be warm and strong—it can be a safe harbor for you from any danger.”


    “You aren’t superman!” I protested. Even the most powerful people could get injured, which was


    something I had realized most acutely on the abandoned ind. Even a strong man like Christopher,


    who seemed so invincible to me, had times of vulnerability too.


    Naturally, I would not tell him my thoughts.


    Even though my head was bandaged, I wanted to talk to Remington and the rest about art.


    Unfortunately, Christopher did not give me such an opportunity and chased them away, thinking that


    they were nuisances. I was speechless. He was the only person capable enough to do that after


    receiving their help.


    “I know that you’re ssmates with Spencer, but what’s your rtionship with Remington? The age


    gap is quite big. Is he Darius’ ssmate?” I was curious about Christopher’s rtionship with


    Remington.


    Christopher ced me on the bed, acting so meticulously that it was as if I could not take care of


    myself. When I noticed his worried expression, I understood his feelings well too. After experiencing


    near-death situations, we were terrified that the other party would get hurt. To calm him down, I ordered


    him around. When I was hungry or thirsty, I would instruct Christopher to bring food to me.


    “Remington is the child of my father’srade. His family had always been involved in politics and the


    military. However, in the previous generation, everything changed and they started taking a liking to the


    arts. In this generation, Remington became an artist. When we were still neighbors, we fought before.”

    Christopher exined to me about Remington. Then, he shoved a piece of apple in my mouth and


    instructed me to eat it. I chewed leisurely on the apple, feeling like a queen.


    I thought things would just end like this, but Sharon suddenly looked for me. Ever since she pushed me


    and caused Crystal to have a miscarriage by falling down the stairs, we had stopped being as intimate


    as before. After what happened at Crystal’s wedding got exposed, I did not contact her anymore. All I


    did was bid her farewell before I left.


    Hence, I was surprised to see her appear at the entrance.


    “Can I go in and have a seat?” With her back bent, Sharon asked. She started coughing afterward,


    looking much weaker than before.


    Watching her, I felt extremely conflicted. After inviting her in, I ced a cushion against the couch and


    told her to lean against it. “Why didn’t you bring Josephine with you? It’s rather inconvenient for you to


    come out alone.”


    “It’s fine. I’m so old that no one dares to bump into me on the streets. Some kinddies even offered to


    send me here when they found out that I was heading here.” Sharon smiled. There was a hint of


    amusement in her frail voice.


    “It’s better to be careful. I’ll call Wendyter and tell her toe here and fetch you home,” I insisted


    worriedly.


    The smile on Sharon’s face faded as she sighed slowly. “I haven’t eaten yet. Why don’t you cook


    something for me? It’s been ages since I’ve tasted your food and I miss it dearly.”


    “Okay, I’ll do it right away!” I walked toward the kitchen. After a while, I realized that Sharon was


    wandering in the room, even picking up my couple bracelet with Christopher and scrutinizing it. Then, I


    returned to the kitchen again.
