Chapter 501 His Hug Is Warm
I placed the phone beside my ear. Although I was silent, I did not hang up. Through the screen, I could hear him panting because he was walking briskly.
“Michael, I feel really sad now…” I mumbled gloomily after a while.
Now that I was feeling extremely upset, Michael was the only one I could share my sorrows with.
“I know. If this happened to anyone else, they would find it hard to accept too. However, listen to me. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side!”
Michael never knew how to console someone. However, his words were more effective than any consolations.
I felt an urge to cry. It was really lucky of me to have him by my side now. If he was not here, I would be at a loss for what to do.
Sniffling, I stopped my tears from streaming down my cheeks.
After a few minutes, Michael appeared in front of me. As I was squatting beside the road, he gazed down at me with a frown. His eyes were filled with a look of heartache.
“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be in danger if you come here alone?”
I could hear the reproaching tone in his voice. At the same time, he lifted me up from the ground and hugged me tightly.
The night was starting to get cold. However, I felt warmth in his embrace.
“I just want some peace to myself. My mind’s a mess now and I can’t think of anything,” I explained softly as I leaned in his embrace.
“Let’s go home. Regardless of what decision you make, I’ll support you. Everything that you do is right!” He tightened his grip on my hand, his voice gentle yet firm.
I was panicking initially. However, after I heard what he said, I calmed down. I knew that no matter what happened, he would always support me and be my pillar of support.
“Let’s go home. I don’t want to see anyone,” I said sadly as I sniffled.
Although I still found it hard to accept, I did not want to let it affect my mood anymore.
Since Michael and I had come here separately, I left in his car. Meanwhile, he called his secretary over to drive my car away.
Perhaps because I was too exhausted, I immediately fell asleep the moment I entered his car.
However, it was not a restful sleep and I was frowning constantly. Even in my dreams, that incident kept occupying my mind. I wished so dearly for everything to be just a dream that would vanish after I woke up.
When I finally woke up, Michael had already parked the car at the Shaw residence.
I did not know when we arrived. Upon opening my eyes, I discovered that he was gazing at me with his head turned toward me.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?”
I glanced at my surroundings, my voice was still hoarse. At the same time, my eyes still felt very sore.
Since I cried too much today, my eyes would definitely be swollen the next morning.
“You’re too tired today, so I wanted you to have a good rest.”
His voice was very calm and devoid of any emotion.
“Let’s go upstairs. I’m exhausted.”
Not wanting to mention that incident, I opened the door and alighted the car. Then, I directly walked upstairs.
As it was already getting late, those in the Shaw residence had already fallen asleep. Hence, our return did not alert anyone.
