Chapter 2293
Nicholas had obviously not expected her to rush at him. He instinctively rushed out to grab her, only to discover that she had a cut on the corner of her mouth. Her cheeks were red. When he looked down, one side of her dress was torn off, and the ribbon was snapped. The cloth was unable to be maintained in any way. Just like that, a large piece of her snow-white skin directly went into Nicholas's eyes.
The man's whole body shook, and his eyes were wide with surprise. He had never witnessed such a captivating scene since he was a child. His vision seemed to be in a state of shock.
Cecilia felt that she was a little promiscuous. In order to gain his trust, she let him see her body. However, she didn't know what was wrong with her. She thought, "Nicholas will die soon. It's fine if he gets a couple glances. It will be silly for me to be so concerned about someone who is dying."
Nicholas was gasping for air. He quickly took the quilt next to him and wrapped it around Cecilia.
"Miss Xia, did they hurt you?"
Nicholas asked in a hoarse voice.
"No, I'm lucky that you're here. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of consequences will happen. Who are they, Mr. Ling? They were rude to me from the moment they walked in, even saying they wanted to place items in my room."
Cecilia was not going to let the two persons achieve their goal, so she said it directly.
"I'm not sure. We'll get to the bottom of it once we get them. It's a relief that you're doing well."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was still staring at her body through the quilt. He was irritated and hated himself as he looked at her tear-streaked cheeks.
"I'll have someone to help you change your clothes for you. Your clothes are ruined."
Only then did Nicholas realize that hugging her all the time was inappropriate.
"You don't have to call anyone else. Get me a piece of clothing and I'll change into it myself."
Cecilia shook her head and whispered.
"Okay."
Nicholas responded and thought that it was better that more people should not know about her tragic encounter.
Nicholas got out of bed, grabbed a change of clothes, and placed them on the bed. He then turned and walked out of the room.
Hendrix stood outside the door and saw Nicholas come out. He gave a silly grin and said, "I didn't see anything."
Nicholas rolled his eyes at him and fixed his cold gaze on the fighting place in front of him. "It seems that the culprit has been caught. Let's go check it out."
"These two b*stards disguised themselves as cleaners and sneaked in. They're really bothersome. I'll take care of them. I'm going to force them to tell the truth."
Hendrix was enraged as well. With a cold expression on his face, he hurriedly followed Nicholas out the door.
Cecilia changed her clothes, walked to the window, and looked at Nicholas's distant figure.
Cecilia pursed her lips and grinned, recalling his renewed expression from a few moments ago. "Did he just blush and lose his cool?"
"Nicholas, how many more sides do you have which I don't know of?"
The corners of Cecilia's mouth curled up with anticipation. She was looking forward to finding out what kind of complicated person this man was. When Nicholas saw the two people who had been caught, he raced forward and hit both of them twice in rage. Each of them was punched in the face and beaten until they were dazed.
Hendrix, who was watching from the side, felt a pain in his heart. "Is Master Ling really angry? Because of that woman?"
The two were beaten until they were bruised. They looked at the young man in front of them with fear. For a moment, they felt that they would die under his cold gaze.
"Who sent you here?"
Nicholas questioned them coldly.
"Mr. Nicholas, there are many people who want to kill you. Don't tell me you don't know? You're daring enough to travel to a foreign country on your own."
One of the men forced himself to sneer.
"I know a lot of people want to kill me, but it all depends on whether or not they have the power."
Nicholas responded with a sneer.
"We won't sell out any information. If you have the guts just kill us."
The two men exchanged glances before deciding not to say anything. They would not be able to live no matter what they said.
"Very good, since you are not willing to tell me, I shall begin an investigation on you. Don't underestimate mywork of relationships. I don't believe that you guys don't have any weaknesses."
Nicholas smiled, his lips twisted into a kind grin.
The two men were determined to die, but they didn't anticipate Nicholas to put them to death on the spot. Instead, he desired to discover their weaknesses. They had no fear of death, but they all had weaknesses.
"Mr. Nicholas, they are definitely not made of stones. They must be over 30 or 40 years old and have a family of their own. They're putting their lives on the line in order to make money. They will almost certainly contain weaknesses if we dig deep enough."
Hendrix crossed his arms and analyzed calmly.
The two men's expressions instantly changed. They came out to make money with their lives in order to provide a better life for their family. Furthermore, their family could get a large quantity of money if they died.
"You're right, go and investigate it. I'll give you three days."
Nicholas gave the order with a cold face.
"All right, I'll look into it right away."
Hendrix's lips curled as he turned to walk away.
"Nicholas, you can't threaten our family. You will be becoming the most important person in the country. Kindness is a virtue. You can't kill people who aren't guilty."
One of the men shouted angrily.
"You are really shameless. Do I have to be merciful and forgive you people if you come to kill me?"
When Nicholas heard their words, he grew enraged and kicked the man hard.
The man was at a loss for words. With flaming eyes, he merely stared at Nicholas.
Nicholas sat down after grabbing a chair. He gave them a harsh glare and continued, "Are you still refusing to say anything?"
The man suddenly got up and hit the wall next to him. Blood splattered all over the place. He was dead in a matter of minutes.
"D*mn it."
Nicholas was annoyed. He didn't expect that these people were not afraid of death. They were all desperate.
Hendrix also felt pity.
"Call the police and get the word out."
Nicholas gave the order in a cold voice.
Hendrix called the police, and the police came to record the confession. Cecilia, as the victim, stepped forward to testify. The details of this case were made
public by the police. Nel
warned the people who were in the dark to keep an eye on the country's actions.
When they learned that their son was in danger, Lan Yanxi and Ling Mofeng were extremely worried. Nicholas promised on the phone that he would be more careful and that his parents would not have to worry.
Swn
The days were quiet again. Cecilia became much more cautious after the previous incident.
Someone was plotting to assassinate Nicholas and even set their eyes on her. Haha, these reckless people.
Leana took the medicine and was wrapping up Cecilia's wound.
"Why didn't you put up a little fight? Take a look at what they've done to you."
Leana lowered her voice and said.
"There's no harm in getting injured.
Compared with our task, this is nothing."
Cecilia didn't seem to take it seriously.
Leana was very distressed. Although her boss was skilled in martial arts, she had to let herself be beaten.
"Boss, I think Nicholas really likes you. This is a good opportunity."
Leana wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and return to China to get the reward.
"I didn't expect him to be a hopeless romantic. Did I think too highly of him?"
Cecilia narrowed her eyes, but there was coldness in her misty eyes.
"It's because you're too beautiful that he can't control his feelings."
Leana mocked.
Cecilia reached out and gently stroked her cheek. "Face is simply an appearance. Will he fall in love with someone because of their faces?"
"You are not just attractive, but also vulnerable, and men want to protect you."
"Then he really should die."
Cecilia curled the corners of her mouth as she clenched her delicate fingers.
"Boss, are you going to make your move?"
Leana couldn't help but ask excitedly.
"If there is a suitable moment, I will do it."
Cecilia bit her lip and said.
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye. Nicholas went looking for Cecilia this morning.
"Miss Xia, come with me."
Nicholas said in a low voice.
Cecilia was stunned and asked curiously, "Where is Mr. Ling taking me?"
"Taking you to a place. You'll know when we get there."
Nicholas stepped over and took her hand once he finished speaking.
Cecilia shivered and stopped struggling. Was she on her way to a deserted place?
Cecilia sneered in her heart. Haha, man... Nicholas drove Cecilia to a building. Cecilia rolled her eyes. It was the city center.
"A professional expert I know is upstairs. I contacted him through my connections and asked him to do an examination for you. Come along with me."
Nicholas couldn't wait to let her see this doctor.
Cecilia became tense. He actually brought her to see a doctor.
She was pretending to be blind. She would be easily exposed if she met with a professional doctor.
What's more, he worked as an ophthalmologist... "Mr. Ling, I... I'm scared. Why don't we just forget about it? I'm used to not being able to see my life."
Cecilia turned around and was about to leave, but she forgot that she was blind and deliberately hit the wall.
Nicholas grabbed her. In the next
second, he picked her up and said,
"It's okay. Let him have a look. When your eyes are ready, you will see
flowers in spring, the sea in summer,
the moon in autumn, and the snow in winter. You must be unaware of
how lovely the world is and how fascinating the four seasons change."
Cecilia was trapped in the man's arms. She shivered all over as she listened to his whispering and couldn't take her gaze away from him.
