Chapter 24 Don't Play Tricks with Me
Earlier Cynthia was stimulated by Hulda's successive sarcasm, she endured it. She thought she was tough enough.
But when she saw Alston, suddenly all her emotions poured out and tears flowed down.
uncontrollably.
This was the first time she had seen him since she was injured. It was just a few days, but she felt like centuries had passed. The familiar man in front of her now looked very strange. "What's going on here?"
Alston looked at Hulda on the ground, and his forehead frowned. He asked coldly again.
Cynthia hurriedly wiped tears from her face, "I didn't push her. It was her..."
She was interrupted by Hulda, "It hurts..."
She held out her hand at Alston in a coquetry manner, and was pulled up from the ground by him. As soon as she stood up, she threw herself into his arms. She hugged him intimately, with a grievance on her face.
"I'm here to apologize to her. I feel sorry that you hurt her because of saving me. But I didn't think
she would push me."
Alston turned to Cynthia and gave her an almost greedy look, then his eyes turned cold, "Was that true?"
Cynthia looked at his movements stupefied and didn't pay attention to his eyes.
He allowed Hulda to hug him.
Cynthia took care of him for a month, and she knew that he had a serious mysophobia. Even if he couldn't walk, he wouldn't accept the touch and help from others. Only she could get close to him. But now he didn't push Hulda away and let her hold him without any discomfort.
Cynthia lowered her eyes, and her fingers trembled. Her heart was sour and uncomfortable. It
turned out that she was not the only one that he could accept. She was not unique.
"Hulda was lying. I didn't push her." She bowed her head and twisted her fingers, "Believe it or not."
Alston saw her being sad, but he restrained his emotions, and glanced at her coldly, "I know you are angry. I will let it go this time. Don't do it again."
He only said that.
Hulda was so angry that her palm was almost cut by her own nails, and her forehead hurt even more.
Alston didn't stay. He held Hulda's shoulder and left.
Haven't walked to the door, Cynthia's voice coming from behind.
"I thought you came to take me home."
She sounded sad and disappointed.
Alston heard it, and he felt his heart stagnate. He felt sorry and pity.
Hulda looked up and caught a glimpse of his emotions before he could hide them. She bit her teeth, turned her head and smiled, "He is here to take me home. He didn't know you were discharged from the hospital today, too. I'll ask him to drive you back first and then come back to me later. What do you think?"
Cynthia ignored her. She was waiting for Alston's response, but he didn't turn around, as if he had acquiesced in Hulda's words. Cynthia's heart welled up in sadness.
"I will ask Greg to get a car to take you home."
Alston said coldly and left without looking back.
Cynthia gave a wry smile, and continued to pack her stuff, as if nothing had happened. Just at the moment when she lowered her head, glittering and translucent tears slid down and wet the clothes.
in her hands.
As soon as getting out of the door, Alston immediately threw off Hulda, as if she was a virus. He didn't even want to touch her.
"Why did you go to her?"
He glanced at her coldly.
"I... I just wanted to apologize..." Hulda explained in a panic and pointed to the wound on her head in
grievance, "She didn't accept it and pushed me..."
"Don't play tricks with me. Everyone knows what's on your mind." Alston loosened his tie and smelled the perfume from his suit. He frowned in disgust, and took off his coat directly.
"I warn you, just do your job. If you dare speak nonsense to her again, our agreement will be canceled." He sneered and said, "Your parents are still looking for you."
Hulda didn't really care what he said until she heard the last words. She suddenly raised her head and looked at him in horror.
She didn't want to go back to the old days. She was really fed up with the days when she was tortured
and used by her parents and brothers all the time.
"I... I won't, never again. Don't send me back, please."
Hulda was scared. She promised over and over again.
Alston turned back indifferently. He threw his coat into the recycling bin at the door, and left without a word.
Hulda looked at the hand-made fancy coat in the recycling bin, and her heart was full of hatred.
Such expensive suits, just because she touched it, he threw it away.
How much he hated her!
Hulda stamped her feet angrily and left. Suddenly, she thought of something. She turned back and picked up the coat from the bin.
She looked down at the coat in her hands, and the corners of her mouth suddenly evoked a strange smile. Her eyes were ambitious.
