I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 228

Chapter 228

Just when Leanna was about to run away, Aidan stopped in front of her and picked a pillow up. Then he held her ankle and put it on the pillow.

She reflexively wanted to retreat, but he held her leg. "You're bleeding," he said plainly.

Leanna looked at her leg to find it looking bloody. Probably happened when I was climbing the boulders. She held a pillow. "And it's your fault."

Aidan said nothing. He took the medical kit from the table behind him and cleaned her wound.

She rested her chin on the pillow as she stared at him quietly.

He looked unusually gentle under the light. Putting everything aside, Aidan was a charming man. Until he opens his mouth.

She finally believed Daphne. All the scandals about him were fake, and he was just playing along. Almost nobody could survive his mockery, after all.

And then he coolly said, "Don't stare at me, unless you plan on staying the night."

Is sex all he thinks of?

He placed the medical kit back in its place after her wound was cleaned. "It'll take about an hour." He looked at the time. "You can sleep if you want to."

She kept her eyes wide open. "Thanks, but I'm not sleepy."

Aidan knew what she was thinking. He chuckled and went into the bathroom.


She heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. It was supposed to be a regular sound, but the overwhelming silence of the villa unnerved her. Her throat was parched so she wanted to get some water, but then she saw his clothes beside her, and there was dust on it.

No wonder he wanted to take a shower. She moved to the other side of the sofa in an attempt to stop hearing the sounds coming from the bathroom. Eventually, the water stopped flowing, and she heaved a quiet sigh of relief.

At the same time, she heard the sounds of hurried footsteps coming from the entrance. And then Elijah asked, "Are you alright, Leanna?"

Leanna turned around and saw Elijah and the manager. She nodded. "I'm fine."

Elijah looked at her bandaged leg and frowned. "Let's go, Leanna." He approached her.

Leanna got down from the sofa. The moment her foot hit the ground, the pain made her temples throb. She didn't feel anything before that, however.

Elijah came and held her. He pursed his lips and apologized, "Sorry for this." Before she could say anything, he carried her in his arms.

Leanna was surprised. Apparently, she didn't expect that from him.

They were just about to leave, but Elijah saw Aidan leaning against the bathroom's door, wearing nothing but a robe. He was staring at them, and Elijah pursed his lips for a moment before leaving.

After they were gone, the manager came up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Mr. Parker insisted on coming, sir. We couldn't stop him."

Aidan answered coolly, "It's alright. Whether he comes or not won't change the outcome anyway."

…

After Leanna got into the passenger seat, Elijah went into the driver's seat and drove them away.

Leanna asked, "How did you find me?"

He answered, "You didn't come back and I couldn't reach you on your phone, so I asked the hotel staff."

What he didn't say was that he came in a hurry because he saw the fireworks.

He knew everything that happened in the resort was Aidan's plan. He also knew Leanna still liked him, and it made him panic. It was possible she might relent and give Aidan another chance.

And that was why he left before the gala ended. The hotel staff kept trying to keep him away, but he pressed on, and they finally told him where she was.

A while later, Leanna said, "Thank you."

Elijah smiled. "I should have realized this sooner and came looking for you. It's my fault."
