Chapter 241 I’ll Be Your Shadow

“Just doing my duty.”

That was aii Cedric said. Everyone knew just how much meaning those four words carried.Then, Elena covered her mouth and pointed at Maia’s feet.

“There’s blood on Maia’s feet!”

Cedric grabbed Maia’s arm, looked at her feet, and frowned. There certainly was blood tracing down her feet.

“It’s okay. I must’ve been cut by the pieces of glass when the bottle shattered,” Maia said casually. She tried hard to break free, but he held on to her firmly.

“Please carry on, everyone. I’m going to take care of her.” Cedric put his suit jacket around her legs and swept her off her feet in front of everyone.

“Cedric!” She hissed.

“I’m taking you to the hospital,” he said firmly. He cared more about her injury than she did.

Maia was a little pissed off, but she could not raise her voice in public. “Put me down. It’s just a scratch. I can take care of it myself!”

“What if it leaves a scar? Don’t you hate those?” He asked.

Maia was startled. She was surprised that he remembered what she told him years ago.

“I like scars now. They remind me of the lessons I’ve learned and motivate me.”

“Well, then. You can leave some scars on me.” With that, he carried her to the elevator. Maia, on the other hand, was stunned by what he said.

She waited until the elevator door closed and spoke, “Ask yourself, Cedric. Are you treating me this way now because you’re
