Shane was utterly frustrated as the whole department could not even guard a woman.
Lucy lowered her head and uttered with a soft voice, “I know I should not be here, but I was worried about you. So I came to check on you.”
“Worried about me?” Shane furrowed his brows.
Lucy nodded slightly. “Yes, Mr. Shane. Is your wound all right?”
She gazed at his forehead with a worried look.
Shane was overwhelmed with frustration. “It has nothing to do with you, and I don’t need your care.”
Lucy felt a blow to her heart upon hearing that. She displayed a sorrowful look, as though she was an innocent victim.
“Mr. Shane, I was the one who saved you. Why can’t I care for you? I…”
“That’s enough!” Shane raised his hand and interrupted her abruptly. “I have my personal doctor and my assistant. And also my wife and my children. I have all of them to care for me, so I don’t need another stranger for that. Please leave now.”
Lucy staggered backward in disbelief. “Stranger?”
I’ve saved his life, yet he treats me as a stranger.
Tears started brimming in Lucy’s eyes as she could not believe what she heard.
How could he treat me like this? I don’t mind if he doesn’t want to befriend me. But I’m way more than a stranger to him. I’m his savior!
She thought he would show some favor for her because she rescued him, but it turned out she had been deluding herself.
She cast an indignant look at him as though he had betrayed her. However, Shane still acted indifferently toward her.
Eventually, she could not suppress her rage. “You are too much!”
She turned and left abruptly upon saying that; her eyes welled up with tears.
If I knew he would treat me like this, I wouldn’t have rescued him. What a b*stard! I’ve even come this far for him!
After Lucy left, Shane was still in utter befuddlement, not knowing what he had done wrong.
