Chapter 777
Weston‘s heart turned mushy at once.
“Okay.” He rested his forehead against hers.
Though he only gave her a one–word reply, there was actually a turbulence in his heart.
He should not have let her out of his sight.
No matter how much she made a scene, he would never let her leave his side again.
He hugged her and asked the doctor to come forward to treat her wound.
Seeing his signal , the doctor came over with the gauze carefully. “I shall disinfect her wound now…”
But the moment his hand touched her skin, she shook his hand off her violently.
“Don‘t, don‘t touch me!
“Don‘t touch me!”
Stella , who had calmed down with much difficulty , was suddenly emotional again.
She was trembling, clinging to the man‘s waist and burrowing her face into his arms. “Don‘t touch me! Go away! Go away…”
Her memory seemed to be out of whack.
For one moment, she reacted like she was in the speakeasy with that man.
In the next moment, she thought she was on the balcony that night, when the kidnapper had held a knife against her and threatened to humiliate her before her death.
The faces of those men kept appearing before her eyes, trapping her in the dark abyss where she was unable to escape.
He held her tightly and soothed her. He could feel her shivering again, and his heart ached. However, all he could do was say to her patiently, “Don‘t be scared. I am here. No one will be able to do anything to you anymore.” She closed her eyes tightly and started crying. “Dad, Mom, don‘t leave me alone…
“Don‘t leave me alone…”
Her voice was choking with emotions.
It had been too long.
