She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 257

Barclay cleared his throat, reaching out to lift her chin. "What are you apologizing for?"

"I made you miss your flight," she said, though it wasn't intentional.

"I'll make it. I'm leaving now. You stay put and wait for the doctor, okay?"

"Okay," she acquiesced.

She dared not say more, fearing any additional words might truly make Barclay miss his flight.

His thumb lightly brushed against her swollen knee for a moment before Barclay withdrew his hand.

Moira pursed her lips. "I'm really not moving. You should hurry and catch your plane."

"Yeah, call me if anything comes up."

Barclay rose to his feet, giving her one last glance before turning to leave.

As he did, Barclay coincidentally encountered Rose, who was preparing breakfast.

Upon seeing Barclay, Rose instinctively stepped aside, waiting for him to pass before entering the villa.

This wasn't the first time such a situation had arisen. Typically, Barclay would simply pass by her side.

Barclay was aloof and not particularly fond of company, a fact Rose was well aware of. She didn't mind.

She could always communicate with Moira, who was easygoing enough.

Rose had initially assumed that this time would be like any other, but Barclay surprised her by stopping after passing her. "Ms. Graham."

It was the first time Rose had heard Barclay address her like that, and her heart skipped a beat. "Mr. Covington, what can I do for you?"

"Mrs. Covington bumped her knee. Keep an eye on her and wait for the family doctor to arrive."

Rose nodded repeatedly. "Of course, Mr. Covington, I understand."

Barclay gave a slight nod and then turned to leave.

Hearing Barclay's words, Rose also became worried. When she saw Barclay leaving, she quickly turned and entered the villa.

Inside the villa, Rose saw Moira sitting on the sofa, with the bruised knee she hadn't even had a chance to pull her pant leg down over.
