Ceo's passion love by mistake novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

It was not until the next morning that Shane finally gained consciousness.

His ebony eyes swept across his surroundings, instantly realizing where he was.

It seemed like he had successfully escaped from danger.

Bracing himself with his palms, he tried to sit up. The motion pulled on his sutures, and the pain caused him to let out a grunt.

From her position beside the bed, Natalie was shocked out of her light slumber at the noise.

When she lifted her head, she was met with his cold gaze.

Surprised to see him staring back at her, it took her a few seconds to say, “Hey... you’re awake!”

The woman’s features were delicate and beautiful. She would have been incredibly pretty if it were not for her pale lips and the dark eye bags under her eyes. It was obvious she had stayed by his bedside the whole night. There were also some rusty stains on her white blouse that looked vaguely like dried blood.

Right then, scattered memories from last night flashed through Shane’s mind.

Looks like this woman rescued me.

After a while, he spoke up in a low tone, “What would you like in return for saving me? You don’t have to hold back.”

Natalie froze in surprise. A few seconds later, something in her brain clicked, and she hurriedly explained, “No, it wasn’t me.”

She did not think he would have such a huge misunderstanding about what happened last night.

Nonetheless, she refused to run from this. If she did not tell him the truth, he would never forgive her if he found out later on. Heck, I am not going to hide this. 

“Last night, I was the one who accidentally hit you with my car...”

With that, she told him everything about what happened last night, not leaving anything out.

Honestly, she was worried that he would be furious at her. But to her astonishment, his expression remained blank and emotionless. The look in his eyes was also unfathomable.

For some odd reason, he did not seem like he cared about her hitting him with her car at all. In fact, he even seemed a bit relieved that it all happened!

Although she could not make out what was with his attitude, she decided it was best she brought up the matter of compensation first. “Mister, I haven’t made a police report yet, as I was hoping to settle this matter with you privately. How much would you like me to pay you for this?”
