Looking at Evelyn’s pale little face filled with determination and concern, Caden Lockwood paused and instead held her back.
Seeing her frowning with displeasure, he spoke up promptly, "You go lie down and rest in bed, I’ll find the doctor later to bandage myself."
"Later?" Evelyn raised her voice, "You need to get bandaged now!"
Caden Lockwood had no choice, "Alright, I’ll go now. You head back to the ward first; the doctor said you’re very weak."
"You go first," Evelyn persisted, "Don’t delay any longer!"
Caden Lockwood simply picked Evelyn up directly, took her back to the bed to lie down, pressed her down, and said deeply, "Rest well, don’t move around."
Evelyn’s face turned red, and she nodded, obedient and gentle.
Caden Lockwood’s heart softened, and he lightly brushed Evelyn’s cheek with the pad of his finger and gave her a deep look before heading out of the ward.
Watching Caden Lockwood’s back, Evelyn touched her cheek, a faint smile on her lips, her heart sweetened.
Staring at the ceiling, she seed to see Caden Lockwood pointing at her scoldingly: "Why are you so disobedient?"
She was startled and quickly shut her eyes. Upon reopening them, she found that she was alone in the ward.
Am I going crazy?
Why did I suddenly start imagining Caden Lockwood?
Tucking the quilt corners, she took a deep breath and looked around, realizing how bored she felt after Caden Lockwood left.
She wondered how he was doing now.
Was his hand okay?
Just as Evelyn was lost in thought, she heard a familiar female voice: "Evelyn, I heard you got hurt. I ca to see you."
Evelyn looked up to see Shannon Dunn, and her eyes narrowed in a defensive posture.
Shannon Dunn placed the fruit basket she brought on the cabinet and then walked over to Evelyn, showing concern, "Caden just called to tell about it. How is it? Not serious, I hope?"
Looking at Shannon Dunn, who was graceful and charming in every move, Evelyn felt a strong wave of jealousy.
What exactly is the relationship between Caden Lockwood and Shannon Dunn?
Why did he tell Shannon Dunn about her injury?
"Don’t misunderstand," as if she could hear Evelyn’s thoughts, Shannon Dunn explained softly, "Originally, Caden and I were going out for so business. He couldn’t co, so he told ."
Evelyn pouted.
A girl like Shannon Dunn, beautiful, capable, and classy, must be very popular!
But if Caden Lockwood and Shannon Dunn were boss and subordinate, why didn’t she call him "Mr. Lockwood" and instead called him "Caden"?
They even shared an umbrella!
Isn’t that a bit too intimate?
"How long have you... known each other?" Evelyn asked tentatively.
"Us?" Shannon Dunn seed to sink into her mories, "We’ve known each other for a long ti. He doesn’t like to interact with people, but probably because we share so similarities, he is fairly friendly with ."
While speaking, Shannon Dunn flicked her long hair and smiled very gently.
Evelyn’s face turned pale; why did she feel suppressed by Shannon Dunn everywhere?
"Really?" she replied sowhat sourly.
"I’m curious too!" Shannon Dunn looked at Evelyn, "He never ntioned having a girlfriend before. He only said he wouldn’t marry Eleanor Keaton. How did you two et?"
Evelyn was speechless, and being ntioned by Shannon Dunn like this made her feel as if Caden Lockwood married her rely to fend off Eleanor Keaton.
It seed... their encounters often happened when Eleanor Keaton was around, and he’d act particularly ambiguous with her.
Could it be?
Oh, co on!
Would soone like Caden Lockwood, the type to reject a suitor, need another woman to act alongside him?
Then why did he marry her?
"We..." Evelyn’s eyes twinkled, and she deliberately said, "fell in love at first sight!"
[PS: Darling’s, cast your recomndation votes; don’t be lazy! Is Evelyn jealous? Hmm~ kind of!]
