Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320 An Awkward Atmosphere

It’s only during the critical times that I realize how important I am to him!

I wrapped my arms around Michael’s neck, feeling touched then. At that very moment, I felt that everything was worth it to be with him for the rest of my days.

Ronan followed behind us, and his gaze dimmed when he saw me snuggling into Michael’s arms with bliss written all over my face. I knew that he was feeling dejected, but I only wanted to be with Michael.

Meanwhile, Emma stood frozen to the spot with her face drained of all color, saying nary a word further. While Michael didn’t do anything to her then, considering his character, I believed that he wouldn’t let her off easily this time because she had gone past his bottom line.

When we climbed into Michael’s car, his arm was still bleeding. I looked at him in distress, wishing that I was the one injured instead. Seeing him injured while saving me, I was even more devastated than if that knife had grazed me.

Ronan drove behind our car, and we headed straight for the hospital.

It wasn’t until the doctor cut off Michael’s shirt and revealed his arm did I see how bad the injury was.

The cut was at least ten centimeters long and was very deep. The doctor even said that it almost hurt the tendon, cleaning the wound with antiseptic while treating it. At the same time, another doctor treated the cut on my neck. When he cleaned the injury with antiseptic, stinging pain assailed me. My injury is insignificant, yet it’s already unbearably painful. I really don’t know how Michael can bear the excruciating agony when the cut on his arm is so deep.

Michael sat there expressionlessly, merely allowing the doctor to clean and suture his wound. From beginning to end, he didn’t make a single sound. However, I could sense that he was holding himself in check from the sweat dotting his forehead.

When I was done, I went over to him and grasped his other hand. I looked at him in anguish, words eluding me.

“I messed up this time. I promise that such an incident will never happen again in the future.”

Michael’s gaze stopped on the gauze on my neck. Then, he stared into my eyes and enunciated that solemnly.

In the face of his promise, my heart skipped a beat. I didn’t say anything, merely nodding seriously.

For some inexplicable reason, I was actually rather glad that such an incident transpired. If Emma hadn’t kidnapped me, I wouldn’t have known how important I am to him. I’d always thought that he merely likes me, but I’m now certain that he loves me!

Throughout it all, Ronan remained by our side silently. At the sight of our intimacy, he appeared rather despondent though he didn’t make it obvious. After all, he knew that it wasn’t the time for that.

“The incident this time was Emma’s doing. How are you planning to handle it?” he subsequently questioned.

He trained his eyes on Michael, and his expression seemed rather gloomy, which was a sharp contrast from his usual sunny disposition.

“This time, I’m not going to let her off so easily anymore.”

Hearing Ronan’s question, Michael balled his hands into fists as wrath manifested on his face once more. I knew that Emma had enraged him to the point of no return. He had been turning a blind eye to the paltry matters in the past, but considering the severity of the incident this time, his character dictated that he wouldn’t let the matter rest.

“Just tell me if you need my help.”

Ronan’s gaze shifted from his face to me after having obtained his answer before saying that in an impassive voice.

I knew that Ronan also wanted to get involved in the matter, but I didn’t really want him to do so for my sake. It was unfair to embroil him into our affairs since I wouldn’t be able to reciprocate no matter how much he did for me.

“I’ll settle this matter by myself.”
