You think your apology can help?\u201d he says coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s all I can do whether you accept it or not. I can\u2019t help you.\u201d I retort back.<\/p>\n<p>His chest is heaving, as if suppressing the anger inside.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he says with clenched teeth, \u201cTake me to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is your arm that is broken, not your legs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He gazes at me with a cold and sharp look. Then I have to help him walk outside.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we come to the door of the hotel, we run into Whitney who is walking in.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing my hands on Frances\u2019s arms, she immediately rushes over and pushes me away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t touch him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She stares at me defensively with great disgust in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone in the hall is watching us. Though many of them don\u2019t understand our language, anyone with a discerning eye could guess what happened.<\/p>\n<p>For a moment, embarrassment permeates the air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m injured.\u201d Frances furrows.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Whitney ignores me and entirely focuses on Frances, asking worriedly, \u201cHow? Where did you hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy arm. I fell and hurt myself accidentally.\u201d he replies lightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did you fall?\u201d Whitney asks, looking at me confusedly.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the scene of him kissing me just now comes to my mind, which makes me feel nervous. Fortunately, he helps me out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go to the hospital first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney drives him to the hospital, and doubtlessly, she wouldn\u2019t let me go with her. So I have to go back to my room alone, with a sense of loss.<\/p>\n<p>I really hope Frances\u2019s arm will be all right, or I\u2019ll be the guilty one, although it\u2019s his rudeness makes me push him.<\/p>\n<p>Lying on the bed, I couldn\u2019t sleep.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that sleep has eluded me every night.<\/p>\n<p>I get up and surf Weibo to kill time, then my phone vibrates twice.<\/p>\n<p>I got two messages.<\/p>\n<p>One is from Noah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI miss you so much. I\u2019ll see you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPare an apple for me.\u201d he raises his eyebrows and looks towards the table.<\/p>\n<p>What!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not in the mood to serve him!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo it yourself. I\u2019m not your maid.\u201d I reject coldly.<\/p>\n<p>He points to his injured arm with a smirk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho did this to me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s me. It\u2019s my fault!<\/p>\n<p>With a deep breath, I grit my teeth and suppress my anger, coming to the table and paring apples for him.<\/p>\n<p>Damn him! I\u2019ll pare ten to stuff him to death!<\/p>\n<p>He comes over and sits opposite me, speechless, just watching me.<\/p>\n<p>His blazing eyes make me feel uneasy and I almost cut my hands several times.<\/p>\n<p>My phone buzzes twice on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Noah messages me back.<\/p>\n<p>I put down the knife and reach for my phone, but Frances snatches it away before me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-213","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
