She goes back to the villa in the wheelchair with unease. The servants are busy in their own things and don’t notice her.
Walking after her, Ryan doesn’t go forward. He knows Jamie who dislikes him with even memory loss will not easily trust him.
He is too anxious.
At the moment an accident happens.
The servants wipe the china in the villa every day to keep them spotless.
A servant is wiping the china at the stairwell of the second floor but all of a sudden the china slips and falls.
Jamie is right underneath passing by.
“Ah!” The servant is shocked and throws the cloth away. She covers her eyes with hands and is too afraid to see what’s going to happen.
Bam - Bang -
The porcelain falls on someone and then drops on the ground. The sound is harsh and clear.
Then the servant takes her hands away and leans forward to look down. Jamie who would have been hit by the porcelain is safe and sound and held in arms by Ryan. His white shirt is stained with blood but he still holds her tightly.
Jamie freezes, staring at Ryan’s handsome face close to her. Obviously he’s bearing the pain. How can he stay intact after being hit by that heavy porcelain?
She didn’t expect him to fend off the china for her especially after she had a dig at him in the yard.
When Jamie saw the china falling, it was too late and there was no chance for her to dodge. It’s hard for her to move in a wheelchair.
She never imagined Ryan would protect her with his body.
She seems to...have seen this before.
Jamie’s eyes are filled with confusion. She looks uneasy. It seems she can’t hear anything at the point and is lost in her mind.
“Jamie, don’t be afraid. I’m right here,” Ryan struggles to say something to comfort her thought he himself looks more painful.
Jamie still freezes and doesn’t even know when the servants have bound up his wounds.
The servant on the second floor is still numb with shock. With such a huge mistake, she thinks she is going to get killed. But...
The servant turns to look at the person behind her, and says in terror, “Miss, Miss Twelve, it’s not me, it’s really not me...”
It was Twelve who had thrown down the china in her hands. It’s not her, it’s really not her. She doesn’t want to die!
Twelve casts to her a sympathetic look and crosses her arms. She watches the mess downstairs and a smile appears on her lips, “Relax. I will give you a sum of money. You are a big help today.”
The servant shakes her head promptly, “No, no, no. Miss Twelve, I don’t want anything and know nothing. I will pack up and leave right now.”
“Ha ha, I like the smart people. Go pack up. See yourself out.” Twelve smiles contentedly and turns to leave.
With a sigh of relief, the servant thinks she survives, but beyond expectation, when she turns around, someone covers her mouth and nose and takes her away.
When Jamie comes to herself, she is already waiting outside Ryan’s room.
