Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 119

“How can you be so foolish?” Christopher sighed and leaned his forehead against mine. “Sometimes, I wish that I could just hang you onto my belt so that I could watch over you all day long. That way, you won’t keep getting into accidents. I was right there, but something still happened to you.”

I pouted and mumbled softly, “If I’m not foolish, how can you appear more amazing in comparison? If I’m too impressive, you wouldn’t have the chance to act like the hero, nor would you have known me.”

A strange glint flashed past Christopher’s eyes. “Perhaps you were the hero and you were the one who’s given me the chance to know you.”

“Haha! Did you dream that I saved you, so you were all prepared to give yourself up to me?” I joked.

He gazed at me as though he was telling me that what he said was the truth. However, I knew that it was impossible for me to forget such an outstanding man like Christopher unless I had lost my memory.

“Yeah, you saved me when I was in danger. That’s why I fell in love with you, a heroine who could do something so bold despite being so foolish and scared.” Christopher stared at me intently.

For the next half an hour, we spent it being lovey-dovey with each other, during which Christopher’s phone rang multiple times. It was obvious that he needed to attend to something. Thinking that I shouldn’t delay him any longer, I said, “Hurry on back. I’ll be careful for the remaining days and I promise to stay away from that despicable man.”

“Don’t let your injury come into contact with water, and don’t eat any spicy food. You need to take care of your injury. Also…” Christopher was usually a serious person who was stern and decisive during formal business discussions. It was difficult to imagine him becoming so naggy in front of me.

I chuckled and pushed him to the window. “I’ll just avoid everything that can harm me, alright?”

I found a secluded area and sat on a stool. Propping my chin up, I stared at the clouds. The evening sky was bathed in a golden hue by the sunset, while fluffy clouds dotted the vast sky. Occasionally, some white clouds would be illuminated in a red glow due to the setting sun.

The sky darkened gradually, signaling the passing of the day. I was planning to go back to the doctor to get a fresh change of bandage before going to sleep so that I could prepare for the cruise party tomorrow when I heard footsteps coming from the shrubbery behind, which was quickly followed by a heated argument.

My first thought was that a couple was arguing. Although I did not like to eavesdrop on others, I recognized who the couple was the moment both of them spoke. Their conversation piqued my curiosity, so I hid behind a sculpture, craned my neck, and peered over.

“Why did you pass me the spiked drink last night?” Lyle stared at Crystal coldly, which was something unprecedented. It seemed like he was indeed oblivious to what happened last night and was used by Crystal. Considering how proud and weak-willed Lyle was, he definitely could not tolerate others keeping him in the dark.
