Chapter 122
I went back into the ward to see Javier. “Didn’t you say you’re going to get me water?” Javier asked.
I smiled awkwardly and said, “Oops, sorry I forgot. I’ll get it now.”
Javier gestured me to come with his fingers and said, “Nah, come here need to talk to you.”
I sat in front of him, letting him play with my fingers. He asked, “Did that scare you?”
I nodded. “Yeah, you scared me, please don’t ever do that again, I don’t deserve it.”
“Why not? I think you’re worth it.”
I shook my head. “No, you have parents and friends, if something happens to you, they would be very sad. I have no one, so if I died, nobody would be sad.”
Javier hugged me and said, “Don’t even think about that, you have me, if you die, I would be very sad.”
I couldn’t control myself and cried, “Javier, why are you being so nice to
me?”
He hugged me tightly and said, “Because if I don’t treat you well, nobody would.” He said it, the truth. If he didn’t be nice to me, there’s nobody in this world who would. But we were just friends, does this mean we were slowly crossing the line. Deep down, wanted to ignore the rules and lines……
He hugged me, while I hugged him back by his waist. I knew I was being shameless, I knew I shouldn’t be like that, but I still refused to reject the warmth this guy gave me.
The door suddenly opened. We looked up and saw a nurse leading a man in. yes, that man was Lance Mason.
When he saw us in each other’s arms, his face turned cold, I could even see anger and hatred in his eyes.
This made me even more sure that he was the one who hired someone to hit me.
“Time for meds.” The nurse said.
Lance walked in front of us and asked, “Are you and your friend okay?”
Javier stared at me, I was afraid that he might recognize Lance. Lance is a famous businessman.
“Are you dating a few guys at the same time? So open huh.” Lance said sarcastically. But it did seem like I was the one hugging Javier first.
“Nini, I know it very clearly, the car was obviously coming for us. Is that related to the man just now? You should let the cops handle this. Someone clearly wanted you dead.” Javier’s words made me speechless. Seems like it’s getting harder to lie and cover up my background.
“I’m sorry, there are things that I don’t want to say. Javier, you should go back after this.” I was afraid that Javier would be in danger if Lance decided to really become a living demon.
“What? The man just now, he doesn’t look like a normal man.” Javier said.
“You know him?” I was lowkey afraid that Javier might find out about me and Lance from the social medias.
“No, but I can see it from his outfit. He looks rich and powerful. And you look so normal, Nini, how do you know a man like this? Can you tell me?” Javier asked.
“Nothing! I don’t have anything to do with him! Please don’t ask me anymore!” I yelled at Javier.
Lance Mason was the only thing! didn’t want to talk about.
“Nini, what is wrong with you?”
I realized that I was out of control and quickly calmed myself. Then I smiled awkwardly at him and said, “Might be my mom’s death, I’m a little emotionally unstable. Please don’t think too much. I’m going to have some time alone.” I left the room immediately after saying that.
