Chapter 117
She gingerly held onto the car door and slowly settled herself inside.
Her knees and ankles were throbbing with pain, but she bit down on it, maintaining her polite and aloof demeanor towards lan.
“Sorry to bother you, Mr. Raymond”
The faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
After saying that, she worried about disturbing lan’s work, so she quietly sat in the corner and kept silent,
From the moment she got into the car, lan’s gaze had been fixed on her knees.
Her knees were still bleeding, a long wound visible, and her ankles were red and swollen.
If it had been any other woman, they might have lost control of their expressions due to the pain.
However, Maja just took a small, quiet breath and kept her gaze focused ahead.
The car quickly passed by where Connie was. Coco, who was with Connie, was too conspicuous for lan to miss.
He couldn’t help but ask Maja, “Where were you rushing off to?”
The last time he saw her, she seemed very attached to the little dog. Why would she suddenly hand the dog over to Connie and run in the other direction?
And Maja hadn’t answered his question yet. Did she live there?
But wasn’t her apartment quite far from here?
Maja knew that lan was not clear about her identity, so she had long calmed down and stuck to her previous excuse.
“The street is beautiful and great for dog walking, but I don’t live there. The villas there are said to be expensive. I rented a house nearby, but I’m soon moving to a new place.” lan squinted his eyes, “Renting?” he asked.
Despite knowing that housing prices have been high in recent years, Maja’s design fees were also not small. She had been working for many years and should not need to rent. Moreover, she and her husband had been working hard and should have been able to afford the down payment.
“I was surprised when I saw your car. I didn’t expect you to be in this area!
Maja skillfully changed the topic and started asking lan.
“Hmm.”
lan didn’t say much. He didn’t want to talk too much about the woman in Rosewood Manor.
They were almost at the hospital. Maja opened the car door and tried to hobble out, but her foot was hurting too badly. She tried several times but couldn’t stand up.
She rarely had such awkward moments. She took a deep breath, Ignored the wound on her knee, and tried to get out of the car directly.
Sharp pain shot through her and her face changed color, but she stood outside the window and smiled at lan.
“Mr. Raymond, thank you.”
lan watched as she said that and hobbled towards the hospital entrance.
This woman never asked for help even in difficult times, Stubborn.
He rubbed his temples, finding it a bit amusing. He didn’t need to ask her if she needed help, his time was valuable and he had never been particularly helpful. “Jeff, drive.”
Jeff, sitting in the front seat, had originally thought that he would at least get out of the car to help her, but hearing him say that, he could only step on the gas. Maja entered the hospital alone, had her wound bandaged, and came out with a crutch provided by the hospital, looking somewhat weary.
She was supposed to attend a banquet tonight, but could she go in her current state?
Holden planned to introduce her to others in the circle tonight. If she showed up like this, it might only embarrass him.
Maja regretted, she shouldn’t have been in such a rush to see lan.
She called Maria and asked her to send someone to pick up Coco, while she considered how to reduce the swelling in her ankle quickly.
She hadn’t injured the bone and should be able to endure wearing high heels.
She quickly hailed a taxi back to Rosewood Manor.
Maria was startled when she saw her state.
Coco had been locked in the back room, and Maria was very anxious.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, you’re supposed to go to the Raymond family’s old house tonight, aren’t you?”
“Maria, could you get me some ice to apply? It should be fine after two hours of icing, then I should probably start putting on makeup.”
Maria had no choice but to quickly get some ice.
“Mr. Raymond was very angry when he left. Ms. Pennyfeather, you two have to live together in the future, you can’t keep clashing like this.”
Maja didn’t need to guess to know that lan must be very angry, after all, she had stood him up twice.
She sighed, looking at her still swollen ankle
How much longer could she avoid this?
She couldn’t hide at the banquet tonight.
She would have to face his anger sooner or later.
Really irritated xw/ this story…. To much dilly dallying to make so long. Just to know her identity takes more than a hundred chapters. Not recommended…. It is so dragging …. delete this story …
