Chapter 118 Chapter 118 To Damon , that was anything but a little .
However , he couldnt exactly cold Noelle for eating so much , not after how much blood she had lost .
She needed to refill her energy , or she would probably pass Noelle assumed he was just upset about his wallet , but Damon didnt even look at it .
His eyes stayed locked on her as he fired off questions .
your injury ? What happened to the assassins ? Are they gone ? ThNoelle blinked at the sudden interrogation , After a beat , the answered .
Im fine now .
And the assassins ! Lalready She didnt even get to finish before Damon tensed up .
Fine ? Who are you trying to fool ? You were bleeding all over the place just now ! Hows Sure , the underground parking lot had been dark , but the thick smell of blood and the way it had soaked into his hands was proof enough .
There was no way she was just fine .
Take off your shirt.
Let me see His voice was firm , almost demanding .
Huh ? Noelle pulled back slightly , eyeing him warily .
Damon , thats not really appropriate , is it ! Nick told me not to other men .
If he finds out , he wont be happy Damon didnt even hesitate .
Cut the crap .
Take it off He reached over , quickly unbuttoning her shirt .
But the second her shoulder was exposed , he froze .
The wound was still wrapped in thick gauze , but she had clearly handled it with zero care .
Blood had seeped through the bandages , staining her skin , and it was obvious she had just wiped at it at it half heartedly .
clothes off in front of Damons Engers twitched .
He took a slow breath , trying to strady himself, but his voice still came out rough .
Noelle_ your injury._ He clenched his fists , cursing under his breath .
Just seeing how much blood she had lost made something tighten in his chest .
Noelle was seriously injured , yet here she was , stuffing her face with fried chicken instead of lying in a hospital bed .
Damon felt his chest tighten .
Is she out of her mind Even if she doesnt care about herself , she should at least have some basic sense ? Frustration .
Anger .
Worry .
But more than anything , guilt , because he knew this was all his fault The assassin hud said it himself .
Noelle was fast , skilled .
She could dodge butters She hadnt been shot by accident .
She had been shot because she chose to take the bullet for him Is she crazy for a brother who once threatened to kill her ! Who now wants nothing to do with her ? Shes still thrown herself in front of a gun for me .
If the bullet had been just a little off , she could ve ... The thought made him sick .
Meanwhile , Noelle , completely unaware of the storm raging in his head , waved han off .
Relax , Damon .
The bleeding She noticed Damons face had gone pale, his eyes flickering with emotions she couldnt quite read .
ng has stopped , hasnt its But she didnt need to .
All that mattered was that he hadnt pushed her away .
He was here , worrying about her, making sure she was okay .
And that alone was enough to make her heart so Stopped , my aw ! Damon snapped , his patience snapping right along with it .
Do you think this is a paper cu want to del paper cut ? The bullet is still inside you ! Do you Dainon took a deep breath , showing down the whirhind of emotions crashing ng inside him .
Right now , getting Noelle to the hospital was the only thing that matterril This wasnt just some minor wound , she could end up up with Lasting damage .
Thay phot ..
, all she cares about is food Friestrated , he reached for her , ready to shove her to the passenger seat and drive straight to the nearest Chospital However , Noelle grabbed his wrist , her grip surprisingly strong Tamon , Im not going to the hospital ?
Damons jaw clenched .
Oh , so you wanna diet And then what ? Blame me fons the afterlife ? Well , guess what ? Not happening ! Youre going .
Chapter IIS whether you like it or 11 or not Damon wasnt listening .
At all .
He was dead set on dragging Noelle to the hospital , no matter what she said Noelle let out a sigh .
This was a problem She couldnt go to the hospital , not with how different her body was .
If they ran any tests , they would find things they werent supposed to , and then ... well , things would get messy .
Very messy .
However , Damon was stubborn as hell .
Once he made up his mind , nothing short of a miracle could change it .
She had no choice .
With a resigned look , Noelle unwrapped the gauze on her shoulder and showed him the wound .
The bleeding had completely stopped , and a fresh scab had already started forming .
Look , Im healing . No need to go to the hospital Damon opened his mouth , ready to argue , but the second he saw the injury , he froze .
What the hell ? The bullet wound , which should have been raw and bleeding , was already closing up How is this even possible ? he muttered , staring like he had just seen a ghost .
Told you , no hospital , Noelle said , quickly pulling her shirt back up Nick had always told her not to let anyone see too much of her body .
Now she had gone and broken that rule .
She could only hope he wouldnt freak our about it ..
Damons shock quickly turned into something else .
Suspicion .
His eyes narrowed , scanning her like she was a puzzle he couldnt solve .
ut too ! he asked .
You got the bullet out Yep , its out Noelle nodded .
Damon pried again , How ? Noelle lifted two fingers and wiggled them in front of him with a smirk .
Dug it out myself Damon inhaled sharply .
If anyone else had said that , he wouldve laughed in their face .
However , this was Noelle , and for some reason , he actually believed her .
Digging out a bullet with her bare hands ... of course she He stayed quiet for a moment , his expression darkening .
Then , with a serious look , he asked , Noelle ... what the hell are you ? As soon as these words were spoken .
Her reyes flickered .
Noelle could see it, Damon wasnt just curious .
He needed an answer .
Noelle blinked once , twice , then finally , she said-
