A Bird in the Cage novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 She Was Just Frightened

She was just frightened. She wasn’t even injured! Ryan just insisted on carrying her. When Maria asked that question, Catherine’s face immediately turned scarlet.

Glaring at Ryan with a displeased look, she thought to herself, “I told you not to carry me but you insist! Aren’t you embarrassing me?

In response, Ryan answered calmly, “Yes, she is. Get some painkillers for her.”

“Oh! Alright, I’ll go get them now.” Maria was in the middle of cooking, so she hurriedly wiped her hands clean and took off her apron.

“No, I’m not injured!” Catherine shouted at Maria.

Catherine’s heart couldn’t help but throb. Why did he care about her so much? She didn’t want his concern.

Tears pooled around her eyes as she shook her head lightly. She didn’t want to speak, afraid that he would notice that she was moved by him.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Ryan dialed a number swiftly. Catherine heard him instructing a man on the line, “Victoria, come over to my apartment. Yes, now, bring some medicine and first aid kit.”

“I don’t need them!” Catherine turned her head to refuse his help, but he had already ended the call.

Unable to change his mind, Catherine sighed deeply in her heart. Even when she refused him twice, it was useless. She was living in his world helplessly because only what he felt mattered.

“Mr. Walker, I really don’t need your help. I’m not someone important to you. I’m just a tool, and I’m not injured.”

Why was this woman so long-winded? Could she stop being troublesome and just accept his kindness?

Why did she never appreciate what he did for her?

“I think you’re cuter when you were frightened just now,” he chuckled at her nagging and teased her, but it was also his heartfelt words.
