I knew Kieran had a great figure, and his slender, well-proportioned body was so attractive like a devil from hell, who was frightening yet quite fascinating in the white light.
"That’s enough!"
Suddenly, Kieran came out wrapped in a bath towel, crystal droplets dripping from his wet hair. As he casually ruffled back his hair, the droplets sliding back down his slender neck onto his lean chest and finally into the part wrapped in the towel.
When I came to my sense, I lowered my head and said in a hurry:
"I'm so sorry!"
As Kieran slowly walk over, I stepped back. Since there was no outsider, we did not need to play a drama, and I had to follow the rules set by Kieran, that is, do not get close to him within five meters.
"Four days left!"
Kieran poured a glass of wine and sat down on the couch.
I suddenly realized that the time given to me by Kieran was only four days left, and I had just offended Marlon completely. I was just about to speak when he waved his hand, not allowing me to retort and told me to leave. Then I glanced at the expressionless face of the man and eventually went out.
Kieran was a supercilious and arrogant devil and nothing could sway his ideas and willingness.
I was quite clear about it since we had spent some time together.
So, no matter how I begged him, it was useless.
At this moment, Billie called me and told me that Davidson would have a surgery the day after tomorrow and he missed me. Hearing this, I really wanted to meet Davidson right away, but the scars on my body were still obvious, so I couldn't meet with Davidson tonight.
But I finally went to the hospital and watched outside the ward for a long time before going home. I lied down on the bed but could not sleep. To be honest, I didn’t expect the acquisition of CH, because Marlon would not sell it even though I tried my best. Perhaps he still would not sell it even if Kieran offered him a considerably high price.
But to my relief, I had already paid a hundred thousand Kieran gave me to the hospital. Besides, Davidson’s surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and when it came to the deadline set by Kieran, the surgery would be completed. Although I could not finish the designated task Kieran gave me, I would definitely give the money back to him later.
At the thought of this, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I gradually fell into sleep and was not awake until noon because of tiredness.
I rushed to the office and punched in, finding an excuse that I had gone for the acquisition project and I went straight to the hospital.
Since my scar had basically healed after treatment and I wore a caftan and pants intentionally, I thought Davidson and Billie would not notice it.
"Miss Cornell!"
When Billie saw me, she stood up at once with joy.
Davidson, who had been looking listlessly out of the window, instantly looked back. When he saw me, his little eyes were all lit up, which made me sad. It was my incompetence as a sister that made Davidson so lonely.
I put down my sadness and walked towards Davidson with smile, and then I reached out my arms to hold the boy:
"David, I'm so sorry. I was too busy to come to you these days!”
Davidson in my arms shook his head, which made me more distressed, because I thought my brother was so sensible and considerate that he never cried and shoulder all his pains on his own in such an young age.
As a matter of fact, he world had never been kind to him!
I hugged Davidson harder, and swore that even if I must sacrifice my life, I would never let Davidson suffer for the rest of his life. I wanted him to be like any child in this world, who could laugh and play without any worries.
Absolutely!
Billie smiled with relief when seeing this, then she left quietly, offering a chance for we two to accompany each other.
The summer sunlight gently sprinkled down in the afternoon, casting light on the clean white hospital bed, on both me and Davidson. I held Davidson in my arms, reading him a storybook, who was like a lovely and quiet cat, just nestling in my arms, with a peaceful and happy smile on his little face.
No matter how many years later I recalled this image, I would be in tears. If I had known the consequence at that time, I would have hugged Davidson tightly and never let go even if I had to die.
