After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 His Concern

At once, the man howled in agony. When I saw that bloody scene, my heart lurched, and I grew unsteady on my feet. I had never witnessed such a violent fight or seen Michael acting so ruthlessly. With some lingering fear within me, I peeked at the man who was wailing incessantly on the ground.

All color drained from my face. An ordinary woman would definitely be stricken at such a bloody scene, and I was no different.

Behind me, Ronan hastily went over to me and shielded my eyes when he noticed my pale face and trembling body.

“Don’t look.”

His voice was incredibly gentle. I knew that he was afraid that I would be scared, but I had already seen everything earlier. Therefore, it was too late for him to utter such a remark then.

I merely stood there without saying a single word. I didn’t know what to say at that moment, and I was already shell-shocked since I had never experienced such a thing.

Only after dropping his hold on the man did Michael head toward me. By then, I had long since removed Ronan’s hand from my eyes.

When he glimpsed the blood on my neck after having gotten to me, anguish brimmed in his ebony eyes. The chilliness in his gaze previously had long since vanished without a trace.

“Does it hurt?”

His voice was a tad hoarse, yet it inexplicably filled me with a sense of warmth. Although his actios just now were extremely cruel, I knew that he only acted thus to save me. Considering the situation back then, we wouldn’t have been able to get out of here alive if he hadn’t wounded those men.

“I’m fine. How are you doing? Your arm was injured earlier.”

Recalling the knife grazing across Michael’s arm, I started growing worried. I hurriedly lifted his arm to check the injury.

A cut of more than ten centimeters marred his arm. It was still bleeding right then and appeared rather horrifying.

“I’m fine. It’s just a paltry wound that will be healed in a few days.”

Despite his verbal claims of being fine, I could tell that the wound must be exceedingly painful from the slight crease of his brows. It’s such a long gash that bled a lot, so it surely hurts!

As he only got injured while saving me, the guilt within me ballooned. Throwing myself into his arms, I started sobbing. I really thought that I was going to be ruined today! If he hadn’t shown up, I probably wouldn’t even have the courage to continue living!

Michael stiffened for a moment before he hugged me tightly in return. Beside me, Ronan lowered his eyes in dejection at the sight of us locked in an embrace and turned his face away.

After crying my heart out, I wiggled out of Michael’s arms.

Since Michael’s hands were covered in blood, he didn’t wipe my tears for me. Nonetheless, I could sense his distress from the look in his eyes. He must be feeling exceedingly guilty as well that such an incident befell me today.

Sniffling, I perfunctorily wiped my tears with the back of my hand and flashed him a smile to reassure him that I was well.

Only then did Michael’s heart that had been lodged in his throat finally settle back into his chest. Subsequently, his gaze fixated on Emma a near distance away.

Hiding in the corner, she trembled violently, probably also traumatized by the bloody scene earlier.

Michael dropped his hold on me and walked toward her. The moment he caught sight of her, his gaze had turned glacial once more.
