Chapter 218 You Are Injured
Giannn lumed to look at the man standing beside Kate when she heard that. The man was around 180cm, and he looked handsome and elegant There was a kind smile etched across his face, giving him an unmistakable look of a graceful young master. âNice to meet you. My name is Jasper Greenwood. I am. Katieâs friend.â He deliberately glanced at Kate when he said that Gianna immediately understood what he meant. He is most probably pursuing Katie, but she hasnât agreed to it, and that must be the reason he glanced at her during his introduction! âNice to meet you. Iâm Gianna Aubrey, Katieâs childhood best friend.
Jasper smiled when he answered her, âI know, she always talks about you!â He glanced at Silas after saying that. âYou must be President Nolan.â He reached out to shake Silasâs hand. They shook hands, and Silas greeted him, âNice to meet you.â Jasper finally straightened up while commenting, âItâs great that the kid is fine.â Kate held her tears back while teasing South. âDonât be scared, little boy. Iâm relieved since youâre fine. You donât have to worry about a thing, you just have to go home and sleep well. Iâll see you tomorrow, alright?â South nodded, âMm-hmm.â The few people chatted for a moment longer before finally separating. In the elevator, Silas started discussing with Gianna, âWhy donât you both stay at my place?â
She shook her head. I know that Silas is just being kind and generous. He most probably guessed that we are both in shock from what
· happened tonight. However, how could I possibly be comfortable staying overnight at his home? âNo need.â
Silas did not comment further. The narrow elevator suddenly fell into a deafening silence. The three of them remained quiet for the rest of the elevator ride. When they arrived on the 59th floor, Gianna held Southâs hand to leave the elevator. Under normal circumstances, Silas would have straightaway rode the elevator down, but he followed them from behind today. Gianna glanced at him in surprise. âWe are truly fine. Thank you for today, because if it werenât for you, Iâm not sure if I would have survived until now. I will repay you and thank you properly another day.â Silas did not reply to her; instead, he walked straight to the main door of their house and punched the passcode in to open the door. Gianna did not even have the chance to ask how he learned about the passcode to her home when he broke the silence first. âSince you refuse to come over to my place, I have no choice but to stay over!â Gianna was dumbfounded, and it took her the longest time to digest and process what he meant. âThatâs not necessary. We will be fine!â Silas had a solemn expression when he signaled at the room. His voice was dominant and firm, as if he wasnât taking ânoâ for an answer. âCome into the house!â The child must have been hurt. However, since the little fellow doesnât want his mommy to know about it, itâll be better if I keep him company. After going through such an ordeal, how could both mother and son not be affected at all? And how could I possibly relax? Gianna did not say anything further. She walked straight into the house, but the first thing she mentioned once she got in was, âYou should have a seat first. Iâll get the medical kit to treat Southâs wounds.â South was quite surprised. Did I not hide my wounds well? He pulled Gianna in a hurry. âMommy, Iâm fine! Iâm not injured!â Gianna felt tears surging in her eyes, and she had to hold them back. âDonât lie to me because I saw it. Look, your blood is already seeping throughâ she whispered with a hoarse voice. Southâs eyes widened, and he looked at the direction she was staring at. There were blood stains across the shirt on his shoulder. I was injured around my shoulders when that mad woman pushed me to the ground, I already had my wounds treated in Will-oâ-Wisp Headquarters; I even had a change of clothes. Why is the blood still seeping through? It was impossible for Gianna not to have noticed because South flinched reflexively when she first held him previously. He wouldnât have flinched and avoided my touch if he werenât in pain. âWait right here,â she instructed him before she stood up. Silas scowled deeply. It seems like nothing gets past her as a mother.
