I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 238

"I..." She wanted to know if she had done something wrong, if she had misunderstood Caden. The hoarse voice muttered to itself, and when it fell into the eyes of others, it came to another conclusion.

Kern walked up to her and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think he would fall down with one push." His face showed a hint of guilt, no more no less. The woman was shocked when she turned to see his guilty look, "It had nothing to do with you."

The clenched big palm behind the man’s back unclenched. It was over. It had something to do with him.

Suddenly, he made a sound, "Hiss..." He looked painful.

"You... What's wrong with you, Mr. Lo?"

"Nothing." The man guiltily covered his back waist, endured the pain, and shook his head to the woman, "Nothing.”

"Don't move." The woman turned doubtfully to his back, pulled up the hem of the coat, and what was in front of her made her pupils suddenly shrank. It was such a deep red mark that the blood was beginning to well up faintly, and there were purplish marks. She pursed her lips and asked, "He just did it, didn't he?"

"No."

But the "evidence" was there, and Kern's rebuttal did not convince the woman.

The more Kern denied it, the less women believed him.

"Mr. Lo, stop talking." Looking at the wound in front of her, she could not believe that Caden, who had caused such a bruise, had gone from being a jungle beast to being a delicate white rabbit.

She squatted down and took the medicine from the first-aid kit. "If you don't rub it out, it will bruise tomorrow."

As she explained, she began to put her hand on his back. The moment the medicine was put on his back, the man, with his back to the woman, raised his lips slowly.

"Mr. Lo, I'm sorry."

All of a sudden, the woman behind him uttered an apology, making the smile disappear. For a long time, he said, in a low and indifferent voice, "Why apologize?"
