Chapter 176 Fainted
L’Opera Restaurant.
After receiving Anna’s message, Cierra quickly got out of the car. Regardless of who she bumped into on the road, she hurried to find Draven in the private room given by Ryan.
It usually took her ten minutes to walk there, but now she arrived within three minutes. Ignoring etiquette, she pushed the door open and walked in.
The two people in the private room heard the noise and looked over, only to see Cierra holding onto the door, panting heavily.
“Draven.”
She ran so fast that she couldn’t even speak clearly when she suddenly stopped. After a long time, only his name was revealed.
Draven glanced at her indifferently. Seeing that she didn’t respond, he continued to take a sip of the tea on the table.
He looked as if he were about to tell her to get lost.
On the contrary, Ryan came over to help her up. “What’s the matter, Cici? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Cierra was out of breath and her legs were sore. When Ryan’s hand reached out, she supported it with all her strength to ease her painful breathing.
She hadn’t run so fast for a long time, as if she had experienced another 800-meter body test in the school. She didn’t get used to it for a while, and even her lungs hurt badly when she took a breath.
“If you can’t tell me why, get out of here.”
At some point, Draven turned to look at them. When his eyes fell on their hands, his face darkened.
Ryan was very dissatisfied with his attitude. “Hey, Draven, didn’t you see that Cici is already like this? It’s fine if you don’t pour her a glass of water to rest, but why are you talking in such atone?”
Draven thought, “What kind of tone was that?
“What kind of tone should I use?
“Didn’t she say that they were divorced and had nothing to do with each other? Why did she come
back now?”
Draven was angry with Ryan. “If you don’t want to stay, you can get out of here with her.”
Ryan was about to lose his temper, but he was stopped by Cierra before he could finish his sentence.
Cierra grabbed his sleeve and gave him a look to stop him.
Fortunately, Ryan was obedient. He didn’t say anything and just raised his arm to support Cierra. He even controlled the distance very well.
In the end, Cierra stopped supporting herself with his hand. When her legs were no longer sore, Cierra withdrew her hand and looked up at Draven.
“I won’t stay any longer. Anna called and said that Mrs. Trevino fainted in the hospital today. She couldn’t get through to you, so she called me. That’s why I came to you. If you don’t have anything more important now, go to the hospital quickly. I’ll get you some pastries from the kitchen for dinner. If you does mind, you can ask Ryan to buy some food for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Draven didn’t respond, so she became a little anxious. “Draven, Anna didn’t say anything specific on the phone. I only heard that she was very anxious. Hurry up and go over.”
There weren’t many people in the Trevino family now, except for Draven, the only son. Even though Sue had relatives, they couldn’t come here because she was married off from a big family in Washington D.C.. Only Draven could be there.
However, Draven was still unhurried. He got down from the dining table calmly and strolled over
slowly.
“You’re in a hurry. People who don’t know the truth might think she’s your mother.”
Draven walked up to Cierra and paused for a moment. His deep eyes were filled with sarcasm as he said, “Didn’t you say that we had nothing to do with each other? What are you doing here now? Are you pretending to be kind?”
“Draven, what’s wrong with you?” Ryan couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help asking.
Cierra pursed her lips and closed her eyes wearily.
She didn’t expect Draven to mention this at this time. She had wasted so much time talking.
