Blood Oath: Forever Yours novel Chapter 5

At the same time, the man who was in front of the car was buttoning his blazer up and stepping forward. Charlotte fell straight before him. Lawrence lifted his leg and stepped straight on her without showing any reduction in force. He could hear everyone drawing cold breaths but there was not a yell of pain.

Lawrence wrinkled his eyebrows and quickly retrieved his foot. He lowered his head and looked at the woman who was falling in front of him. She was skinny and was wearing a thick, long dress with long sleeves. There was a livid bruise on the back of her hand which was stepped by him. She seemed to shiver due to the pain but she still bit her lip and did not utter a word.

And it was because of that Lawrence lowered his head and took an extra glimpse of her. She was lowering her head and her face was completely hidden in his shadow. She was too skinny yet her figure looked so similar to a woman in his memory. A gloomy look showed up on Lawrence’s face and he immediately took one step forward.

A woman’s gentle voice was suddenly heard from behind. “Lawrence.” Allison Miller stooped and came out of the car. She handed the little girl that she was carrying in her arms to Lawrence and with an uncomfortable look said, “I’m having a fever and I feel really unwell. I can’t take care of Emma at the moment, could you let her follow you?”

Lawrence took Emma over and touched Allison’s forehead. He then frowned. “I’ll let Jeffrey get you a room, and then ask the doctor over.” Allison smiled and replied, “Okay.” After finished, she looked at Charlotte who was on the ground and said gently, “I’m sorry, miss. Lawrence has accidentally stepped on you. I can see your hand is badly injured. Is it okay if I let the doctor check on you after he comes later? Don’t worry, we’ll definitely compensate you.”

Charlotte lowered her head. She could sense excruciating pain from both her hand and her heart. She lowered her head and looked at the shadow standing in front of her with teary eyes. With a hoarse voice, she stammered, “It…It’s okay.” She did not dare to wish that he would recognize her. She was afraid to lift her head. She was afraid to meet Lawrence’s eyes and see the piercing cold and hatred from them. That would make her suffer more than death do.
