The woman cried so desperately as if something had happened to her man. The servants around her exchanged awkward glances, and the people in the car did not respond to her. Elena looked at the man who was asleep on her lap. The drip that he had might have caused him to be a little tired, and he had slept so soundly after they got into the car.
Eldest Young Master Williams looked so perfect as he slumbered, even if he had snored so lightly. He must have been exhausted and had not gotten enough sleep during that period. While they were at the hospital, Levi told Elena that Michael had only gotten about three hours of sleep each night she was not with him. He had worked through most nights. Elena wondered about the urgency of his tasks that required him to work through the night. However, Levi mentioned that it had something to do with her. Did their argument affect his lifestyle? Did she really have that much influence on him?
“We are here, Young Madam,” Levi reminded her in a quiet voice. He did not want to speak loudly, in case that would awaken the eldest young master. He had never seen Michael sleep so soundly before that. It was like a sliver of happiness when he heard the eldest young master snored all the way home. It was as if it was his own son who had slept so peacefully. Even when they arrived home, no one had the heart to wake him up. Elena did not want to wake him too, but the woman outside the car was annoying her. She had cried endlessly.
“Eldest Young Master Williams, how are you? Are you hurt badly? I’m so sorry that I wasn’t by your side when you were injured…”
The woman wanted to step forward, but Ewan gently advised her, “The young master just returned from the hospital, so please let him rest.”
The car door was not opened, so Ewan did not know what the eldest young master was doing in there. It was inappropriate for them to disturb the eldest young master before he got out of the car.
“How can I feel at ease without seeing him? Ewan, let me go take a look at him.”
Ava cried as if a floodgate had opened. Her delicately made-up face seemed to glisten under the sun, and she looked so pitiful.
Ewan could not bear to see her in that state, but he could not make any decision before the eldest young master alighted from the car.
“Eldest Young Master will be out soon. Please wait a few moments,” he said.
Ava cried, “Eldest Young Master Williams, are you in pain? Why don’t you let me have a look at you and take care of you?”
The man in the car frowned unhappily.
Elena’s slender finger rubbed on his eyebrows gently. “We’re home, do you want to go down now?”
However, Michael groaned and turned around to hug her waist. He buried his face in her stomach and went back to his deep sleep. Elena was afraid that her clothes would get in the way of his gauze on his wound, so she hurriedly reached out to stop him. In his deep sleep, Michael thought that she wanted to push him away, so he quickly tightened his arm around her and held her tightly.
Elena felt helpless. A sick person was always a priority, especially if that person was Eldest Young Master Williams. He already acted as if he was king, even when he was not ill or injured!
Eldest Young Master Williams had behaved like a little kid, and it was just… too adorable.
“Levi, you may go first. I’ll let him sleep a little while longer. Also, please get someone to prepare dinner.”
“Very well.” Levi got out of the car as gently as he could.
The first thing that he saw when he got down from the car was a crying Ava. Levi frowned and looked disgusted.
“How is Eldest Young Master Williams?” Ava rushed toward Levi when she saw him. Ewan also stood in anticipation.
Levi looked at Ewan and said, “Eldest Young Master is sleeping, don’t wake him up.”
He beckoned at Butler Qin, who then went to greet him. “Yes?”
“Prepare dinner for the young master and the young madam; just something plain,” Levi said in a low voice.
The car had pretty good insulation, so it could cancel noises very efficiently. It was quite rare to see the eldest young master sleeping so soundly, so he did not want to wake him up. Butler Qin nodded at the instructions and went off to make the preparations.
Ava felt a little neglected. She went up to Levi. “Is that woman also in the car?”
“Which woman is Miss Garcia referring to?” Levi’s face darkened, and his eyes gleamed unpleasantly.
“Elena!” Did he not get it? Except for that b*tch, Elena, who else would be so shameless to stalk Eldest Young Master Williams all day and night? How could she be so thick-skinned to return after he had chased her away? Disgusting!
Levi’s face got even unsightly. “She is our young madam, the hostess of WongRiver Pavilion. Not ‘that woman,’ as you so casually called her.”
If they were to talk about a ‘that woman,’ then it would be Ava. She was ‘that woman’ who had shamelessly overstayed her welcome at WongRiver Pavilion!
Ava knew that Levi did not like her, but she could not comprehend the reason for that.
After all, she was so much prettier than Elena. How could Levi side with Elena and not her?
Was it because she had favored Ewan, and so Levi was jealous about that?
Ava adjusted her expression and smiled softly at him. “Levi, I’m just worried about Eldest Young Master Williams…”
“Miss Garcia, I am not sure if you are laughing or crying, but please… please refrain from wearing such a terrible expression.”
Levi continued in a solemn tone. “Our eldest young master was injured. He is really fragile now, and your ghost-like expression might scare him.”
Ava froze. No one had even said that she had a horrible smile; never! He did not only say that she was ugly, but also that her looks might scare people off! How was that possible? Was that man blind? How could he not appreciate her smile? Did he not know that Ava was the most beautiful lady in Bentson—Bentson’s Number One Enchantress?
“Miss Ava, you…” Ewan coughed delicately as he reminded her. “Please wipe your tears first.”
Even though he thought that Ava was a beautiful lady, she did look a bit odd with tears all over her smiling face. It was so charming, and yet, at the same time… Well, she did seem a little… ugly.
Ava was taken aback. She recalled that she had been crying and had not wiped the tears off her face!
How could she have known? She was so good at acting that she did not need to feel sad to deliver the tears. Sometimes she did not even remember that she had been crying after she had stopped!
It was all that b*tch’s fault! If she had not known that Elena was in the car, why would she overthink it? She thought she could look her best in front of Levi, and she had forgotten that she had been crying before that. Ava hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her tears, and she did it carefully so that she would not ruin her makeup.
A group of people arrived at the entrance of the WongRiver Pavilion, and they were led by the old master and the old madam! Ava, who had finally refreshed her face, went to greet them with a bitter expression.
“Grandmother, Michael was injured. Elena… Elena would not let us look at him.”
Her tears welled in her eyes, once again. It was hard to believe that she had smiled so charmingly at Levi just moments ago. She grabbed onto the corner of the old madam’s clothes, but Ava’s remark was obviously for the old master.
“It was Elena’s fault that Michael was seriously injured. Elena is afraid that we would blame her, so she did not allow us to see Michael. Grandmother, please go and see him. I’m afraid that he…”
She paused for a moment before she continued to say, “I’m afraid that Elena would hurt Michael!”
