Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Silent Distance

Hearing that, Agnes didn’t refuse. She nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble you both. Thank you. Andrew, for taking me home.”

“Yay!” Andrew cheered happily.

The car was parked across the street. The temperature was a little low at night, and Agnes was still wearing the evening gown from the party.

She couldn’t help shivering. The injury on her leg had swollen much more than before, and she was limping even worse now.

Andrew kept holding Agnes’s hand. “Agnes, your hand is so cold. You’re shaking.”

He then turned to Neal with a serious expression. “Uncle Neal, lend your jacket to Agnes.”

Agnes froze for a moment and quickly waved her hands. “No, no. I’m not cold.”

But as soon as she finished speaking, Neal had already taken off his suit jacket and gently wrapped it around her.

“Agnes’s leg is hurt, Uncle Neal, carry Agnes to the car. I’m too small. Otherwise I would do it myself,” Andrew said.

Agnes felt extremely embarrassed. Was Andrew really only six years old?

“Really, it’s okay. I can walk by myself,” Agnes said.

“Ms. Sinclair, your leg is badly swollen. If you keep putting weight on it, the injury will only get worse. Let’s get you to the car first and treat it a little. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” Neal said calmly.

Agnes bit her lip, but her leg was clearly not cooperating.

While she was still hesitating, Neal had already gently lifted her into his arms.

His broad and warm chest gave her a strong sense of safety and support.

Not far away, a car slowly drove past. Inside the car, Hillary stared at the scene in shock.

It was as if she had just discovered some shocking secret. She was overjoyed. She immediately pulled out her phone and started taking pictures and recording videos of them.

Agnes, you really are a disgrace. Sneaking around with another man behind Raymond’s back.

Hillary had been upset earlier because she had failed to bring Agnes down tonight. But now fate had handed her another opportunity.

A malicious smile curled on her lips as she started planning something in her mind.

Neal carefully placed Agnes in the back seat of the car. Then he brought out a small emergency medica) kir and cleaned and bandaged her wound.

During the drive, no one mentioned what had happened earlier that evening. Andrew, however, seemed very happy and chatted with Agnes the whole time.

The car soon drove into the Newton mansion. Neal opened the door and was about to carry Agnes inside, but she stopped him.

“Mr. Ruell. I can go in by myself. Thank you for bringing me home today. And thank you, Andrew.

It was only a few steps. She believed she could walk it if she clenched her teeth. She didn’t want the Newton household staff to start gossiping.

“You really should see how swollen your leg is.”

Neal didn’t listen to her protest and directly carried her out of the car.

This scene was seen clearly by Raymond, who had been standing upstairs. He quickly walked downstairs and ran straight into Neal, who was carrying Agnes.

The two men’s eyes met. An indescribable tension suddenly filled the air.

“Mr. Newton, Ms. Sinclair was injured. I saw her on the road and brought her back,” Neal said calmly.

A trace of coldness flashed across Raymond’s face. Most people would have addressed her as Mrs. Newton, but Neal had called her Ms. Sinclair.

Raymond walked forward quickly and took Agnes from Neal’s arms.

There was a storm brewing deep in his eyes, as if he were reclaiming something that belonged to him from someone else.

“Thank you for the trouble, Mr. Ruell,” Raymond said in a low, hoarse voice that carried restrained anger.

Neal looked at Agnes in Raymond’s arms and sighed quietly in his heart. Agnes… it seemed you really didn’t remember me at all.

Agnes felt extremely resistant to Raymond’s touch. But in front of others, she didn’t want to cause a scene, so she allowed him to carry her inside.

Once they entered the mansion, she endured the pain in her leg and insisted on getting out of Raymond’s arms. She asked one of the servants to bring her the medical kit.

Jealous anger burned fiercely inside Raymond. Just now she had allowed another man to carry her without resisting, yet now she was deliberately distancing herself from him.

Looking at the injury on her leg and remembering the chaos earlier that night. Raymond softened his tone slightly.

“Where did you go? I couldn’t find you at the family estate earlier.”

Agnes ignored him. She frowned slightly as she applied medicine to her wound. In the car carlier. Neal had already cleaned and bandaged it very carefully.
