When I crept up to the third floor, I looked around first.
I was sure the bodyguards slept before I went to the lighted room.
That room was easy to find. Because there was a light leak under the door, I immediately set my goal.
I came to the door and listened. There was no sound in it.
I looked at the round handle of the door and hesitated to open it, but I was afraid it wasn’t Sean and I would be found.
When I thought so, there was a voice in it.
It was Sean’s voice.
I judged from his voice that he was on the phone.
Although I didn’t hear what he said, I was sure he was on the phone with Eric.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was morning in York.
Sean was not sleeping right now because he wanted to talk to Eric about business.
I was outside listening. He called for about half an hour and then there was no sound.
I was sure he hung up. When I wanted to open the door, the light under the door suddenly disappeared.
Sean seemed to be going to sleep.
At that time, I did not hesitate to turn the door handle.
The door opened.
Didn’t he lock the door? I thought and tried to push the door.
Sure enough, the door opened.
When I went in, the room was dark and the curtains were closed and I couldn’t see anything.
I didn’t know where Sean was, but I was sure he hadn’t slept and he knew I was in.
As I reached out and tried to figure out what was going on in the room, I suddenly felt a soft, strong body.
I was startled.
Then I heard Sean say, “get out of here, or I’ll call a bodyguard.”
His voice was cold and emotionless.
I couldn’t help shivering.
I wondered if the bodyguard betrayed me.
I was about to speak when I heard him say, “you know what Lewis Group is like right now. As long as I make a phone call, Lewis Group will go out of business tomorrow. At that time, you may not even have the money to return home.”
It turned out that he took me for Cindy.
I could feel that he was standing. Were his legs recovered?
“You...”
“It’s me.”
He just wanted to talk again, and I reached out and hugged him directly.
When I held him, I felt a metal thing.
Sean’s legs were not fully recovered.
I could feel that when I spoke, his body was visibly frozen.
He didn’t move or speak.
I hadn’t held him for a long time. I could feel Sean getting thinner.
I put my ear to his chest and felt his heartbeat. At this time, I forgot the question I wanted to ask. I just said, “I miss you so much. Don’t drive me away, will you?”
Before I was outside, I didn’t feel much.
But now I was by Sean’s side and holding him and listening to his heartbeat.
I knew I didn’t want to leave him.
He was silent for a long time and said, “Why are you here?”
“I miss you.” I said.
He hadn’t contacted me for a long time. Considering his attitude towards Cindy, I was afraid he would drive me away. I reached out and hugged his neck and kissed his cheek and said, “I miss you so much. I can’t eat or sleep.”
I said on purpose, “so don’t let me go.”
