Instantly, Raquella panicked, and she looked at him frantically as if silently reprimanding him for his recklessness.
“It’s all right.You don’t have to worry about me.”
As Frank looked at her, his gaze gradually softened.
“It’s fine if I get infected as long as I can take care of you.”
At his words, Raquella squeezed the words out of her throat in a hoarse voice, saying, “I…I don’t want you to take care of me.Hurry up and leave before you get infected too…”
Even so, Frank insisted obstinately, “What’s the problem with taking care of you? I already said that I don’t care about getting infected, so what are you worried about?”
Raquella immediately lost her temper and mustered all her strength to shove him away from her.
“Do you think that getting infected with this is a joke?”
He was infuriated by her actions, but as she was currently a patient, he couldn’t pick a fight with her either, nor could he simply leave her behind and abandon her.
Hence, he softened his tone to the best of his abilities and said, “I know that you’re worried about my safety, but two people in your family have already been infected.If I don’t take care of the two of you, who will? You don’t have to worry.I’ll be extremely careful.Besides, I’ve always been healthy, so it’s fine even if I get infected.”
Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.
She knew that Frank was doing this for her own good, but she just couldn’t bring herself to accept his kindness.
In the end, she could only say helplessly, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me.”
He pulled her into his embrace once more and caressed her hair.
“If you really want to thank me, you can use your body to do so.”
Hearing that caused Raquella’s face to instantly freeze.
“All right, you’re a patient now, so I’ll stop joking around with you.”
With that, Frank rested his chin on her hair and mumbled, “I hope you’ll get better soon.”
On the other hand, Yelena had never expected that Federick would successfully locate her.
As she looked at him panting for breath yet sporting an icy expression before her, she turned silent from fear.
“Why are you in a place like this? What is this place?”
Her head lowered and afraid to speak, Yelena replied in a small voice, “Shouldn’t I be asking you how you found me?”
“Yelena!”
“Yes!”
“Why on earth are you here?”
Federick was nearly about to lose his mind from the senseless woman before him.
Who would leave with a man they didn’t know without understanding the situation clearly and not even knowing where they were headed to? Yelena took a few steps back in her best attempt to keep a safe distance from him.
“A stranger said that he wants to talk to me about something, so I followed him here.”
“Which stranger? What is his name? Where is he now?”
She turned a little awkward at his onslaught of questions.
“He’s called Slevin Damazio, but I don’t know where he is either.”
“Slevin Damazio?”
At the sound of the familiar surname, Federick’s expression immediately darkened.
“It’s related to Hank, right?”
Yelena, who failed to sense that something was amiss in his tone, bobbed her head.
“Yeah.He said that he knows something about Hank, $0 I followed him here.In fact, he did tell me many things, and I’ve come to understand quite a lot, too.”
Federick gritted out bluntly, “Why do you think that everything he says is definitely the truth?”
She was caught off guard by the overwhelming hostility in his voice.
“I think that he’s telling the truth.I don’t know why either; it’s just instinct.”
He scoffed derisively.
“Let me guess.Did he tell you that Hank’s life is in danger and he doesn’t want to hold you back, so he came up with an excuse to deceive you?”
Yelena jolted in surprise.
“How did you know that?”
“Isn’t this exactly what you want to hear right now?” She froze.
“I…”
“Yelena, can you wake up? He already abandoned you for another woman, so why are you still refusing to let go of him?thuy bao Is he really that much of a good man for you to be so hung up over him? Yelena, oh, Yelena.What should I say to you? Which part about him did you fall for? Do you have to hold onto him when there are so many good men in the world?”
Yelena burst into tears at the spew of berating words.
“I-I didn’t mean it like that…”
“Why are you crying? What is there to cry for?”
At first, she did not particularly have the urge to sob, but her tears began to flow down uncontrollably at his mocking tone.
“Why are you so angry, Federick?”
Federick took a deep breath.
At last, he couldn’t hold himself back anymore.
“Because I like you.Can’t you tell?”
Yelena’s crying stopped abruptly.
“But don’t overthink it.I have no intention of taking advantage of your vulnerability.It’s just that I like you, and I don’t want to watch you give up on yourself like this.I just want to tell you that there are so many people who like you, so why can’t you let him go?”
“Who is this gentleman? Why didn’t you greet me when you came?”
A familiar voice came from behind the garden and Slevin sauntered out with a smile.
“I apologize for the poor hospitality.”
“Are you Slevin?”
As Fredrick looked at the grinning man standing before him, he couldn’t help but feel that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
However, deep down, he knew the reason behind such a feeling.He possessed a face that seemed kind and gentlemanly, which explained why Yelena fell for him so easily.
“Yes, that would be me.What’s your name, sir?”
“Federick Seanzy.”
Slevin’s eyes flashed when he heard the name.
