Plop…plop…
Darren rushed into the hospital and his brain was humming.
He could hear nothing in the noisy hall of the hospital.
He rushed upstairs towards the ward without break.
With his humming brain and fast beating heart, he didn’t know how he hurried here.
At this moment, he stared at the closed door of the ward and his throated rolled, but he didn’t dare to come into it.
“Is it Mr. Darren Are you Miss Selina’s friend This early morning she was sent to our hospital. She seemed to have been insulted and her state is not stable now…”
The nurse’s words still rang in his ears. As soon as he hung up the phone, his heart was tightly seized by a strange strength as if he would be stifled the next second.
“Boss…” Murray followed him to the ward breathlessly. As he was about to speak, he closed it at the sight of Darren and didn’t dare to approach him.
Boss seemed to be another person from the moment he picked up the phone. He had never seen Boss so restless.
Darren slowly raised his head. The anger and regret in his eyes showed how he felt at the moment as if his heart was stabbed by thousands of knives.
The woman he held in his heart was insulted…
He pushed open the ward shakily with his left hand. The ward was full of the strong smell of sterilized water. Selina was lying on the bed with gauze on her face. She was in a sleep with her head tilted to one side.
Her hands were exposed to the air. The arms were wrapped with bandage and on the back of her hands were needles.
Every step he took made him feel as if tens of thousands of stones were dragging his feet. He went to the bed with heavy footsteps.
The pictures that she tried to please him came to his mind, along with the pictures of her careful look, her pleased expression and her pretended stubbornness with painful feeling…
Whatever methods he used to drive her away, she still gave him a sweet smile the next time they met.
He was only a few steps away from her, but he felt every step used up all his strength.
If he hadn’t driven her away!
If he hadn’t misunderstood her from a preconceived notion!
If… if he hadn’t avoided her purposely, she wouldn’t have suffered insult.
“Eh-hem…” The person on the bed coughed slightly.
Sleeping drowsily, Selina stretched out her hand to rub her forehead subconsciously. As she stretched out the hand, Darren rushed to hold it.
Looking at her sleeping face, Darren just found she was much thinner. Her smile was carved in the bottom of his soul. He used to remember it clearly. After being reborn, he nearly drove himself to forget her purposely.
Luck said, “No love, no hatred.”
The moment he opened his eyes after being reborn, he warned himself to delete Selina Reed from his world. Since he couldn’t take revenge on her, he could get away from her.
“Darren…”
His look became deep and he choked with sobs. He pulled her hand to his lip and kissed, “I’m here.”
Selina Reed slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling with wandering eyes.
“Selina!”
Seeing her wake up, he hurriedly leaned to her face.
Selina slowly turned around her head and looked at him. Delight appeared in her eyes, but then it was replaced with fear. She put forth her strength to withdraw her hand and pushed him away with a bounce. She curled herself in the corner, “Get away. Don’t touch me!”
“Selina, it’s me. I’m Darren.”
“Woo… get away, please! Don’t touch me!” Selina’s was shivering all over.
It was until the quilt was pulled off did Darren find her arms were wrapped with bandage.
A bit of killing appeared in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his impulse to kill.
“Selina, calm down. You’re safe now!” Catching her hands, Darren held her in his arms.
The person in his arms shivered heavily. When he saw the faint scars on her body, he was ready to kill.
The door was abruptly pushed open, and the nurse and Lissandra came inside. The nurse came to him, “Please let off- – Er!”
Darren’s gloomy face made the nurse’s back a burst of cold. She didn’t dare to move but remain there.
“Darren, let off Selina. Look, her blood returns.” Lissandra came to scold him.
Darren lowered his head stiffly and gave a respond when he saw the blood on the back of her hands. He immediately released the woman in her arms, “Don’t be scared. You’re safe. Don’t worry!”
With his hands supporting her neck, he put his forehead against hers. He had never been so gentle.
Selina’s eyelashes slightly shivered. She bit her lips, saying nothing.
While she calmed down, Darren gave his seat to the nurse.
“Miss Reed, I’m going to give you a dressing change.” The nursed carefully discussed with Selina Reed who curled herself in the corner.
Darren watched the nurse pull off the needle, give Selina dressing change and put on intravenous drip.
During this whole process, Darren looked at Selina with fixed eyes.
Lissandra turned back her head at her son, clearing her throat and said in a low voice, “Darren.”
“Mum, please take care of her now.”
Seeing Darren about to leave, Selina looked up at Lissandra nervously.
Lissandra chased him with astonishment, “Where’re you going Haven’t you seen a good girl… because of you… And you still wanna to leave her alone”
“I won’t.”
After the words, he left without looking back. He strode away from the ward.
As soon as he left the ward, Selina tightly seized the quilt and nervously looked at Lissandra, “Auntie, does it work”
“No worries. I understand my son. If he says he won’t leave you alone, he will definitely do it.”
Seizing the quilt, Selina restlessly stirred, “We deceive him. Is it ok”
“Selina, I prefer you to be my daughter-in-law. Do you wanna see Darren marry Sophia Lim”
“Of course not.” Hearing Darren marry Sophia, she sat up immediately.
“Then wait to be my daughter-in-law.”
After saying so, Lissandra left the ward.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the doctor’s office and was about to knock on the door, she heard her son’s cold voice, “Who insulted her I want them.”
“Er, it’s hard to find them. Recently 3 girls have been insulted in the western district. There are many gangs in the western district. Since there are no surveillance cameras in that area, it is even more difficult to find them.”
“Maybe we can let Miss Reed do a face puzzling- -”
Darren refused without thinking, “Never mention about it in face of her. Karl, the western district is in your charge. You must find these ass holes.”
Karl was speechless. He really wanted to chop his hands. Why did he come to enter the fray
To find these guys was like to look for a needle in a bottle of hay.
However, seeing his best friend, Darren’s ferocious look, Karl thought he’d better deal with it himself, or he was afraid Darren would make more trouble.
“Ok. I’ll find them all. Er, Auntie”
Karl suddenly went to the door and pushed it open. He looked at Lissandra with a smile.
Darren raised his head, “Mum, is there something wrong with Selina”
“She…”Lissandra sighed, “This girl is too pitiful. How could she live after suffering such insult Darren, you can’t betray her!”
“I know.”
“What about marrying her” She suggested positively.
These guys looked at her with confusion at the same time.
She explained with eyes twinkling, “Eh-hem, if you have no interest in her, it’s unlikely to hear so many gossips between you two. I think Selina is more suitable to you than Sophia Lim.”
Darren Auton said in a low but cold voice, “I have my own view about it.”
