Carlos' men escorted those men away, and one of his men took Emily to the police station, too.
Jonas hugged Melinda tightly and didn't want to let her go. Only in this way could he feel at ease.
Every time something happened to Melinda, the kind of fear would almost defeat him, but he had to be tenacious, because Melinda needed him.
"Linda." He stroked her swollen cheek affectionately, and didn't dare to touch her too hard for fear that she would feel pain.
At the same time, Melinda was also trembling. It could be seen how serious the wound on her face was.
"Linda, it's okay. Let's go home now." Hugging her in his arms, Jonas walked to his car.
The wind at the seaside was very cold. Jonas used his body to shield Melinda, as if by using this way, he had declared that he would shield her from rain and protect her.
But he forgot that he was the reason why she was hurt every time.
In order not to make the whole family worry about her, Jonas took her back to his apartment and called for a family doctor to treat her wound.
Even though he seldom came to the apartment, he still asked someone to clean it at regular times. It was not a big problem to live in it now.
After the mess tonight, she was very tired, but in her sleep, her eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled.
"How long will it take for the wound to heal?" Jonas asked a family doctor. The doctor frowned with hesitation. Finally, he said it would take at least three or five days. According to her physical condition, she had to take the medicine. In these days, she'd better not eat anything.
Though it was terrible and swollen, there was no blood at all. As for the blood at the corner of the mouth, it was caused by the teeth knocked on the jaw. In addition to taking medicine, there were also many other ways to reduce the swelling. Jonas had been busy taking care of her the whole night.
The next morning, when she woke up, she saw somebody lying on her stomach by the bed. He opened his eyes and smiled at the sight of her.
"Linda, are you feeling better?" "What's going on?" he asked, and then looked carefully at the wound on her face. As soon as he got close to her, she could feel his unique breath. Trembling, she moved backwards.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Jonas smiled and touched her head, "I'll make breakfast for you."
He hadn't slept for the whole night and had been very busy in the past few days. He felt dizzy when he got up. It took him a while to stand up and then walked towards the kitchen.
Watching the leaving figure of Jonas, Melinda had mixed feelings.
After several incidents, she was completely scared. Emily was like a mad dog, biting her whenever she was caught. One reason was simple. It was because of Jonas.
She was caught in a trance. Looking at the clothes on the night table, she knew it must be prepared by Jonas. So she went to the bathroom to change the clothes. Looking at her swollen cheek in the mirror, she felt like in a dream when thinking of what happened last night.
But the wound remained on her body and her heart.
The wounds on the face would be healed soon with the medicine, but the fear in the heart could not be expelled.
"You can take a rest at home today. I have called the servant to look after you. There is something in the company, so I can't accompany you." Seeing Melinda came out, Jonas stopped all his work and went forward to hold her in his arms.
The company did not completely belong to him. The 'jackals' and 'tigers' in it were not less gentle than Emily.
But he didn't know what to do. What happened yesterday made him scared. It seemed that Emily was looking for a chance to bring trouble to Melinda.
She were safe at home. Moreover, Carlos just said that Emily was in prison, but she didn't want to say anything, so they needed more evidence.
"I'll just buy a mask." Melinda said indifferently, thinking that she might as well resign if she continued to ask for leave.
She knew that it was also Victor who protected her in private, so she didn't want to make things difficult for him.
On the other hand, it was hard for him to make a decision. He wanted to object, but he knew clearly that there was no room for him to change since she had asked it directly.
"Okay, I'll drive you to work later." Compromised Jonas. He didn't say anything, just eating breakfast quietly. Before going out, what she said confused him again.
He could feel that she had changed her attitude towards him.
"There is a subway not far from home. The subway is very close to the company. I can go by myself. You can go to the company." She looked the same as before. His hand holding the car keys became stiff.
"It won't be troublesome for me to send you there." He said, Melinda turned a deaf ear to him, and continued. "There is a small market at the subway station, I will buy a mask there."
