Me Before You novel Chapter 8

The car reached the villa.

Before getting off the car, she arranged her hair well and then went in.

There was only Daniel Taylor in the villa. Anna Stark looks at Daniel Taylor sitting in front of the window. A lonely man, her heart was pinched hard. She was thinking that she had just left her home, and she would be alone forever. Fortunately, she still has him.

She pulled on a smile and walked up to him and said, "Sir, I'm back."

Daniel Taylor turned around and smiled at her.

But the smile stopped abruptly after seeing the injury on Anna Stark's face. "Your face?"

Anna Stark hurriedly lowered his head and covered her face. "It's nothing serious..."

"Beaten?"

"Um." She said in a muffled voice, "my mother hit me."

Daniel Taylor's hands were a little tight.

Anna Stark added, "It doesn't matter. It's normal for me to be beaten by my mother. When I was a child, I was often beaten because I was naughty..." She tried to look like she didn't care, but tears in her eyes betrayed her.

Daniel Taylor softly said. "Come here."

Anna Stark obediently walked forward, squatted beside his wheelchair, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Daniel Taylor bowed his head to help her wipe away her tears. "If someone touches you next time, no matter your father or your mother, I will not spare him."

"Sir..." Anna Stark's cold heart was warm.

Jack Smith, who had been watching the scene quietly, left the living room. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he will be scolded by Mr. Taylor. It was the first time that he saw Mr. Taylor treating a woman so tenderly. It turned out that Mr. Taylor didn't speak at ordinary times, but he was so soft inside.

...

"Tomorrow, we will go back to Jingzhou."
