-Since when did you become so nosy and gossipy?
Michael also realized that his words were indeed a bit over the top, and waved his hand slightly.
-Okay, I’m just worried about my best friend, since you’re so resistant, forget it.
Then Miguel left alone and Zain stayed in the same place for a long time before taking his steps and leaving.
After leaving the police station, Yanis walked alone along the road. He had come in a police car, and the food delivery van was still at the clubhouse, so he had to go round up what he had just told Brisa on the phone.
Why not take a cab to the club and take the car home, grab two sets of clothes and go back to her apartment for a few days?
In her current state, sure her parents would be suspicious of her if she came back, and if she told them then, come to think of it, Yanis still didn’t want them to worry.
Walking along, Yanis’ leg was a little sore, which she had only noticed after she had run earlier from the police station, when she supposedly hit a nearby table while being forcibly dragged.
Yanis was in so much pain that tears were coming out of her eyes, and the pain was vaguely unbearable as she walked.
She slowed down and pulled out her cell phone to call a cab when the sound of a horn came from behind her and Yanis unconsciously ducked to the side, stumbling a bit in her step and almost falling.
She steadied herself, but accidentally dropped the phone.
Yanis hurriedly fought through the pain and crouched down, chagrined to see the phone screen shattered.
-Can’t you walk a little slower when you’re injured?
A familiar pair of shoes appeared in front of her, and Yanis was first startled, then reacted immediately to see that they were Zain’s, which she had just seen at the police station.
Yanis looked up, the tall figure standing in front of her against the light, his silhouette deepening in the shadows, but unfortunately Yanis couldn’t see his eyes and didn’t know what kind of look he was giving her now, but she could imagine it without seeing it.
He probably took pity on her.
She crouched motionless, lowering her head to look at the cracked screen of her phone, ready to take a hand to wipe it clean.
However, someone was faster than her and Zain had his hand on the screen before she could touch it.
-The screen is cracked and it’s easy to scratch your hand if you rub it directly.
With those words, he pulled the phone closer to her and took a clean handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe her phone.
Since he was not far away, Yanis could still faintly smell the grassy and woody scent on the handkerchief, and the texture and markings on the handkerchief could only be from a well-known brand.
At the thought that the ramen store actually got its money from him, Yanis’ heart grew angry and annoyed, and he couldn’t help but sneer,
-“The handkerchief is expensive, isn’t it? How much takeout food would I have to deliver to allow me to pay you back after you cleaned my phone?
She said these things deliberately to provoke him.
Zain’s hand movement also stopped at her words, but he quickly put away the clean phone, in the pocket of his own suit.
This action left Yanis unsure.
-What are you doing? Give it to me.
-Get up,” Zain’s tone was cold. Let’s go to the hospital.
-No,” Yanis shook her head stubbornly. I said I’m fine, I don’t need to go to the hospital.
-You can’t even walk steadily and you say you’re fine? -Zain’s gaze went straight to his face, his eyes took on a tinge of sharpness, his voice sounded soft enough but his face was clearly already slowly clouding over.
Yanis’ heart was nothing but upset, he didn’t want to care about Zain’s feelings, he knew Zain wouldn’t care and wouldn’t like him anyway, so what did he have to care?
-Who said I can’t walk steady? Right now I’m just sloppy, and besides, you’re such a busy person you should get back to the company immediately, right? Don’t waste your time for a poor person like me, what happens to me is none of your business, Oops….
Before the words left her mouth, Zain couldn’t listen anymore and suddenly grabbed her shoulders with one hand, hooked her legs with the other and lifted her up.
Zain was very tall and Yanis was very thin. She had not expected this action, but her body had reacted honestly, probably because she was afraid of falling, so her hand unconsciously hooked around the other woman’s neck as he stood up, followed by a tight cry of surprise.
By the time she reacted, Zain was already on his feet and scowled at her before walking off in the direction of the car.
The first time he hugged her like that, Yanis felt a little overwhelmed and foolishly let herself be led to the car. Zain’s breath was so close to her as he buckled her seatbelt, his handsome face was so close that it would have been a total force for her to steal a kiss from him at that moment.
In the past she could do it, but now?
Yanis looked away silently, trying not to use her face to face him, blinking nervously, her heart beating fast.
When Zain buckled his seatbelt but didn’t back up, Yanis became even more apprehensive.
What was he up to, why wasn’t he leaving?
After a long wait, Yanis turned calmly to meet Zain’s slightly cold eyes.
-You …
-Let go of your hand for now and I’ll hold you when we get to the hospital.
At that moment, Yanis finally realized what was happening, and slowly her eyes widened as she saw that her hand was still around the man’s neck, it was no wonder he hadn’t let go since he had buckled her seatbelt.
She pulled her hand away with flushed cheeks and biting her lower lip hard….
Soon, Zain got into the car, but Yanis was afraid to look at him and kept his face turned away from the window.
The two drove to the hospital like this, without a word, probably so immersed in their own world that Yanis didn’t even notice when the car stopped, and only when the door opened and the man unbuckled his own seat belt did she come to her senses again.
Almost reflexively, she went to squeeze Zain’s hand.
-I can do it myself!
She said anxiously and nervously that she could, but she accidentally covered Zain’s palm, and the moment she touched his skin, Yanis’ heart felt as if something had hit it, so he withdrew his hand.
-Sorry…
Zain looked at the hand that had been touched by the girl with a cold face, not caring at all, before pulling the girl out of the car again.
-I can really do it myself….
Explained Yanis, who this time didn’t dare to put her hands around the man’s neck and was unable to free herself, shrinking her whole body into Zain’s arms like a tired prawn, her face and neck looking as if they were roasted.
There were many people coming in and out of the hospital, and Zain, being tall and handsome, naturally attracted a lot of people’s attention.
