The clock was ticking second by second on the white wall. Now, It was pointing at 6 o’clock.
Krish Dale said Ewan Hill got up at 7 o’clock. It was 1 hour earlier. Should she keep waiting?
Standing outside of Ewan’s bedroom, Rachel White had been hesitating whether to push the door or not.
Thinking for a while, Rachel nervously combed her hair with fingers and then pushed the door gently.
It was easy to open the door as it was unlocked.
With lightsome pace, Rachel walked into the room which was a simple gray style. There were a desk, a shelf, a cabinet and a large bed. The regular room, just like his personality, was cold and plain.
It was foggy outside the window, so the room looked dark and gloomy as well. The single bed was 1. 2 meters wide, Ewan was lying on the bed, a thin gray quilt was covered him.
Breathing regularly, he was in deep sleep.
Rachel just wanted to see Ewan earlier and had no intention to peep. Her heart, however, was extricated again when seeing his sleeping.
Rachel got closer unconsciously. Her eyes looked so addicted to his face which was peaceful and charming.
Whiskers spreading over his angular chin, Ewan looked so manly.
He had extraordinary exquisite facial features, which was more masculine than any other man.
Rachel clenched her fist nervously, breathing shortly. Now she was in quite a dilemma. After thinking for a while, she slowly encouraged herself to come closer, and she reached out to his shoulder.
“E…”
When her voice had just come out and her fingertip was one just centimeter from him, Ewan suddenly grabbed her wrist with a hard pull.
“Ah!” Rachel felt that her whole body was dragged onto the bed by a strong force, falling back.
A shadow was pressing on her, his movements were speedy.
Rachel had no idea what was going on, she only felt her waist getting hurt, her chest was strongly pressed by an iron-like hand.
“Don’t move,” Ewan warned coolly.
Just in two seconds, Ewan pointed to her head with a gun in his hand.
In the third second, Ewan clearly saw Rachel’s face.
He frowned and was shocked in a daze.
Rachel was trembling with cold sweat on her whole body. His gun and action were too fast and she barely could see what was going on.
Actually, Ewan had noticed someone was coming in when Rachel stepped into the room. It was her furtive behavior that made him think she was an intruder.
“Ewan… It’s me, Rachel.” Rachel gasped slightly with sweat on her forehead.
Ewan’s face became more gloomy. He doubted if he was having a dream. Why she appeared in his room in the early morning? Rachel found that Ewan, who was pressing against her, looked dull. Was he not awake yet or surprised by her sudden visit.
Ewan’s arm was still on her chest, which was overwhelming for Rachel. She felt the pain in the chest and gradually looked down to the painful place. The next moment, Rachel angrily asked, “Where are you touching, Ewan?”
Her voice was full of anxiety and impatience, which finally pulled him back. Evan looked down with cold eyes.
Then he realized it was a wrong place.
No wonder he felt it soft.
Ewan let go of his handy and took the gun back. With hidden embarrassment flashing in his eyes, Ewan pretended to be calm and looked at her blushing face, simply asked, “When did you come here?”
Getting released from Ewan, Rachel felt immediately comfortable. Taking a deep breath, she still couldn’t move. “I took a bus from 18:00 yesterday and arrived at the gate of military region late at night. I entered here just now,” Rachel slowly said.
Ewan took aside the cover and got out of the bed, then he put the gun on the cabinet.
He was wearing casual clothes which were thin and close-fitting. His powerful muscles appeared indistinctly, and the outline looked perfect.
Having noticed the reason Rachel came to him, Ewan didn’t ask anymore.
After all, Rachel had never cared about him for the past 10 years, no message, no call, let alone a visit to him.
She never came to him other than to ask for help.
Ewan kept silent. He directly went to the bathroom after getting up. Cleaning up and coming out after ten minutes, Ewan found that Rachel kept lying in his bed with the original posture.
He walked to the wardrobe and took out a military coat.
“Tired?” Ewan asked with a cold voice.
“No.” Grinding her teeth, Rachel bore the pain on the waist. She wanted to turn around and stood up, but the pain was hard to bear.
Damn. How strong he was? She could have been crushed if Ewan had put more strength.
Getting dressed with the military coat, Ewan simply asked, “Stand up since you are not tired.”
Rachel was furious at the moment, but she dared not to vent to Ewan. Why was he so calm for her sudden appearance? Shouldn’t he ask the reason why she came to him?
More importantly, couldn’t he feel that she was extremely painful now?
Rachel weakly murmured, “I can’t. My waist has been broken by someone. Let me lie down for a while.”
Ewan was shocked. Standing beside the edge of his bed and looked at Rachel, he noticed her face now looked pale rather than blushing just now. She frowned in pain.
“Where did you get hurt?” Sitting on the bed, Ewan’s voice sounded much gentler.
Closing her eyes, Rachel didn’t want to see his face. Seeing his cold face could make her even angrier and sad.
“My waist was injured.”
“Just now?”
“Yep.”
“Remember to knock the door before entering my room. Don’t be furtive.” Ewan’s reproachful tone was with slight worry.
Rachel pouted and was thinking, “I definitely won’t come into your room again, otherwise I’ll lose my life.”
At the moment, she felt Ewan was holding her waist with his two hands. Rachel got frightened and she grabbed his wrists. She stared at him, “What are you doing?”
“Bone setting…”
Rachel panicked and nervously shook her head violently.
“No, no. Don’t touch me. Just call a doctor for me.”
She could feel her whole body was turning weak on hearing bone setting.
Ewan hated her very much. Rachel was afraid that she might be paralyzed if taking the bone setting by him.
“Don’t move,” Ewan ordered, then he used soft strength to turn her over with his hands. Rachel felt she could hear a slight sound of bones from her waist, becoming more nervous.
Rachel lay in the bed, firmly closing her eyes, she slightly bit her lower lip nervously.
Ewan directly lifted her clothes and his fingertips pressed on her waist, softly kneading.
Rachel could feel Ewan’s rough hands were touching her waist, she felt extremely embarrassed and her whole body was in boiling hot.
Ewan asked with a gentle voice, “Still painful?”
“Much better.” Rachel carefully twisted the waist. It was not as frightful as she imagined.
Ewan murmured, “Take more exercise. You are too weak to stand me.”
After hearing his words, Rachel was stunned and blushed immediately.
She was not fully aware of what he meant.
Instead of playing the fool, Rachel slowly stood up holding her waist. Staring at his deep eyes, she asked, “Ewan, why are you doing so?”
