"What…?! Esther fell down the stairs… Yes, yes, honey, I am on my way back."
After the call, Mr. Yu rushed away without sparing Ella a single glance.
Ella looked at his retreating back in silence.
"Are you fine?" A shadow hovered behind her.
Ella turned to look at Adrian, who had approached her at some point, "What happened to me?"
Adrian gave her a long, hard look.
Ella smiled.
Then, wordlessly, the man pulled her into his arms, "You have me."
Even though Ella had made her peace with the entire situation, she still felt prick in her chest just now.
Yet, hearing Adrian's words, her heart felt warm.
They stayed like that in each other's arms for a long time before Ella pulled back to look at him, "You must have known that bringing me here would cause you troubles, why did you still do it?"
Adrian raised his hand and tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, "I am afraid… you'd run away."
"W-What?" Ella's mind blanked for a moment.
Then, she heard the man continue.
