A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 248

“How did you get injured?” He stood there and stretched his hand out as if he wanted to wipe away her tears. But when he raised his hand, he put down his hand afterwards and just looked at her who was crying desperately.

“I was hit by a car and injured myself. When you phoned me, I was getting the intravenous drip in the hospital and you didn’t allow me to explain, not even a word! Is there a need for me to inform you? You are not the Mr. White that I knew already, you wish for me to die... woo... you are waiting to laugh at us... boohoo...” Tears ran in rivulets down Leila Hunter’s cheek and her hand kept wiping them away.

“Stop crying!” His voice was deeper and he directly brought her upstairs.

Leila had been brought to the bedroom. She saw him opening the wardrobe to take out her T-shirt. He helped her to wear the shirt. She was stunned and shocked, causing tears to well up in her eyes. With the blurred eyesight, she apparently saw a flash of care in his eyes. Perhaps it was just her hallucination as it only lasted for a short time.

Then, he paused for few seconds and raised his lips suddenly. He said slowly, “Why are you crying?”

“I...”

“My wife should be someone who is multi-talented and will not cry when she meets obstacles?!”

Leila felt like she was struck by a lightning.

She stared at him with astonishment and saw that he was looking at her too. She did not know what his words and actions meant. She said again, “Mr. White...”

Vincent White had turned around and went downstairs. She looked at his tall body walking out of the bedroom.

Leila sniffed and went to the washroom to clean her face before following him to go downstairs. He helped her to wear the shirt and not sarcastic to her anymore so she would not be narrow-minded as well.

She walked towards the dining table and took a seat while he started eating already. The noodle had become a lump so she said softly, “The noodle is not nice to eat already.”

“Still edible!” He lowered his voice and did not care about the appearance of the noodle. After finishing a bowl of noodles, he handed the empty bowl to her and she took over.

There were two dishes and one bowl of noodles on the table. She carefully helped him to put the handmade noodle from the big bowl into the small bowl. The taste was fresh and good because the noodles were poured with some sesame oil and chives.

“The wound cannot have any contact with water because it will cause inflammation!” Vincent received the bowl given by Leila and said with a deep voice.

Leila was surprised that he suddenly cared for her. Her body stiffened as she was not used to it.

He looked at her and frowned. “Alright?”

“Yes! I understand.” She immediately nodded.

“Can you adapt to the job in the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office?” He asked again.

Unexpectedly, he asked her about her job so she nodded before figuring out the reason. She answered honestly, “Yes, the job is very relaxing!”

“Do you want to spend the rest of your life like this?” It seemed like she planned to be an office-bearer and received an average amount of salary for her whole life. Or, women were suitable to become office-bearer because it was a relaxing job. As long as the job did not involve politics, it would be easy for her.

“Ah!” She did not know what he meant because he was extremely strange. Just now, he was still frustrated but he was chatting with her relaxingly for now. He really changed his attitude towards her all of a sudden.

“Do you want to do this job for a long time?” He asked while eating.

This can be considered as the first time that they had proper communication and Leila was very surprised at once. “It seems not bad. After the thesis defense, I will need to handle the documents. My father wants me to become an office-bearer and I don’t think it is bad though!”

At least, she did not need to be like her other friends who tried their best to look for a job in the market.

“Is it a must to follow his words?” Vincent lowered his head to eat the food and he felt that the dishes here were more delicious than those in any restaurant outside.

“I help you to get the noodles!” She saw him finished his noodles again so she took over the bowl to put some noodles into it.

“It’s okay. Just give the big bowl to me!” He said and looked at the big bowl of noodles then directly took it to his front.

Leila saw that he had a good appetite and finished all the dishes. She said, “Have you been hungry for a long time?”

He seemed like he had not eaten for three days. It was too much for him!

“It was my first meal for today!” He wiped his mouth with a piece of tissue.

”Ah!” She shouted softly. “Why don’t you eat? So, you called me so that I can come back to cook for you?”

“Yes!” He nodded and continued eating. Although he ate fast, his movement was very graceful and not noisy.

Didn’t he eat when he was shopping with the woman? Leila frowned. Why didn’t he accompany the woman to have a meal? Who was the woman? Nevertheless, when she thought of the reason for the phone call, she apologized to him as she came back late.

“Why did you apologize?” He raised his eyebrows while asking.

“If you do not eat for a long time, it will damage your stomach! So, if you want to come back and eat, just call me to cook!”

“Aren’t you happy if I have gastric problems? If possible, it would be better that I suffer from stomach cancer or any incurable illness then die eventually. So, you can marry the other man with all my assets. Isn’t it better?” He said calmly.

Leila looked at Vincent with a guilty look and said, “You, do you think that everyone is the same as you?”

“Me?” He raised his eyebrows.

“Your idea is despicable!” She could not bear from revealing it.
