Chapter 37- We are nothing

Ryan was about to reply but he paused when Lora's words echoed in his mind. He smiled at Lora and asked, "Are you jealous?"

"What?" Lora was bereft of any words, she stopped walking and glanced at Ryan in disbelief. How did he come up with that conclusion? "Well, you seem so angry that I have a fiancee... the only explanation is that you're jealous," Ryan said with a smirk.

"You-" Lora glared at the man.

Ryan's smile only grew wider and Lora felt the need to correct him. She firmly said, "I'm not jealous! There's no reason to be."

However, Ryan was convinced Lora was jealous. Why else would she be so angry that he was flirting with her when he had a fiancee?

His heart felt light for some reason. He smiled and stated, "I'm taking you to the hospital for a checkup."

Before Lora could tell what was happening, she was swept off her feet. Being carried unexpectedly, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Ryan's neck.

When she realised what he had done, she began to kick her legs, demanding, "Put me down! I didn't allow you to carry me!"

"Shhh, you're making noise. Do you want everyone to know I'm carrying you? The way you're screaming would make anyone think we are having a lover's quarrel," Ryan said huskily and Lora stiffened in his arms.

It would be worse if someone saw Ryan carrying her, so she kept quiet, knowing he wouldn't put her down. She didn't want anyone to see them and take pictures.

Ryan smirked when Lora calmed down and he carried her to his car before driving to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ryan called for a Doctor and instructed, "I want you to conduct a full body check-up on her. She fell but I want to make sure she's alright."

Lora rolled her eyes. She said, "You're blowing things out of proportion, I just sprained my ankle."
