In the CEO Office of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. Different roses would be sent in every day, but today there was a special bunch of purple hyacinth.
Its flower meaning was apology.
She took a look at the card and saw the words on it, which read, "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. Please don't take my mommy's words to heart.".
It was from Walt.
In fact, she had been accustomed to Mary's sarcasm and oppression. She knew that she would definitely not have a better end than her mother if Mary hadn't cared about Zac.
Vicki was an arrogant and domineering lady, while Mary was a snake heart of a Buddha face. It was much more difficult to deal with Mary.
The feud between her and her mother could not be resolved, and the grudge between the previous generation was destined to affect the next generation. Even if there was no Leila, there was little hope for her and Zac to recover.
However, people were just so strange. They could control their bodies, but they couldn't control their hearts. They loved the people they shouldn't love. Although they knew that there would never be any result, they still loved the people they shouldn't love.
The relationship between she and Zac was like the positive and negative pole of a magnet. Once they got close to each other, they would be attracted together involuntarily. Nobody was able to separate from each other.
As soon as it was off duty, Walt came and invited her to have lunch with him which served as
his sincerely apologized to her. He knew if he didn't do it himself, Essie wouldn't go to his apartment to change his gauze for him anymore.
"Brother, you don't have to feel sorry about it. I already forgot what happened yesterday," with a smile on her face, she said indifferently.
"Although you have divorced with Zac, we should not cut off our relationship. We should keep in touch more often," Walt said with a smile.
Essie nodded. She didn't want to lose a friend just because of outsiders' suspicion and gossip. It would make her feel guilty if she kept hiding.
She and Walt found a nice spicy food restaurant for lunch. Walt had a wider acceptance to food than his younger brother. He could eat all kinds of food, including sour, sweet and spicy food. He was indeed a man who had traveled around the world.
After lunch, they went back to the car. When Walt took off his coat, she was surprised to find blood on his shirt.
"Brother, is the wound on your back bleeding?"
"I just felt a little pain. It doesn't matter," In fact, the scab on his back, which was about to heal, was torn up by him intentionally. If the wound was healed, Essie would not come to see him again.
"It is bleeding. How can you say that it is okay? Go back to your apartment first. I'll change the gauze for you," Essie said in a hurry.
"Mommy have changed it for me. But she has never done the housework since she was a little girl. She probably could not do it well." Walt shook his head and sighed.
Essie returned a thin smile.
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Mary had been brought up in a wealthy and influential family since she was a child. It was natural for her not to do such trifles after she came back to the country and married into Rong family.
When they arrived at Walt's apartment, Essie took out the medical kit. Walt took off his shirt. She looked at the gauze wrapped around his back, and found that that was really clumsy.
She opened the gauze slowly. When she saw the broken wound, she took a deep breath. It seemed to be more serious than yesterday. The wound was red and a little inflamed.
"Brother, did you get wet at the wound?"
"I just took a shower," Walt said dismissively.
Essie touched her forehead and sighed, "Brother, but your wound couldn't be wet with water, or it will become inflamed. I'll buy a waterproof band aid for you. You can wear this first when you take a shower."
"Okay." Walt nodded. Of course he knew that the wound couldn't be wet, but he didn't want to recover so soon, or she would never come again.
Essie applied hydrogen peroxide, iodine and anti-inflammatory ointment on his back and bandaged him with gauze. "Does it still hurt?"
"I don't feel pain if I don't move." Walt smiled and enjoyed the moment when she was caring about him.
"Have a good rest these days, keep away from water. And don't do strenuous exercise. I will check it tomorrow when I change the medicine." She comforted him in a tone as if he was a child. He was totally different from an icy guy. Walt was not as cold and domineering as icy guy was. He was much easier to get along with.
"I'm glad that you're willing to come and change the gauze for me. I'm afraid that you'll be angry and ignore me," Walt said with a pleasant smile on his face.
