Chapter 1961
Seeing that she was constantly shaking and her hands were cold like a dead person, Elijah opened his arms and rubbed her delicate shoulders, wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and held her in his arms.
"Carolien, I have been with you all the time! Even if I am not here, I will always send people to guard you. I won't let anything happen to you. Don't be afraid! They are here to protect you, and they won't hurt you!"
In the past, he always thought that she was a little scourge who was not afraid of anything. At this moment, he suddenly realized that she was just an ordinary little woman! An accident made her legs weak and she couldn't say a word!
After comforting her for a long time, Elijah found that her emotions had stabilized a little. But she was really soft like a cotton ball and couldn't be lifted up. It could be seen that she was scared. In the end, he could only hold her up.
Walking past him, Elijah paused and gave Hart a look. "Clean up the mess!"
Then, he carried Carolien and strode away!
After getting on the car, Elijah carried her all the way home. When he entered the door, he woke up all the people sleeping, half-sleeping, and awake. At the door, the butler, who was usually calm, had his mouth wide open. When Elijah carried Carolien up the stairs, he suddenly remembered something and said,
"Karina, go find clean female clothing and send it to the master's room. What are you two waiting for? Hurry up and wait upstairs to see what he needs. Tell the kitchen to warm up some milk, get some snacks, fruits, and whatever else to send over!"
Along the way, he carried Carolien back to the room and did not feel dirty at all. Elijah directly carried her to the bed, took off her shoes and took two pillows for her to put behind her. Seeing that she still sobbed from time to time, her beautiful face was completely ruined and her black eyes were washed by tears, he stroked her messy hair as his voice became gentle.noveldrama
"It's okay, we're home!"
Gently stroking her flawless little face, he felt a little cold. Elijah paused for a moment and said, "You're a little tabby cat now. I'll get some water to wipe your skin!"
As soon as he retracted his hand, his wrist was grabbed by someone. The next second, Carolien threw herself into his arms, holding his waist as if she wanted to get into his body, and she kept shaking her head.
"Hmm."
The implication was that she would not let him go!
As soon as the two maids walked in, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Elijah was cold. He didn't like women to come near, so he didn't need to follow the rules of the Luther family.
It was said that the Luther family didn't have long-term maids. They signed long- term jobs, but only needed to come and clean regularly. In other words, when Elijah was absent, they could come to clean. Later, it was because of Lauren's daughter, Yvette, that the family began to have servants. It was only in recent years that the family maintained such a habit. But generally, as long as Elijah came back, he didn't say anything and all the maids were not allowed to go up to the second floor.
This day, it was an exception. The housekeeper happened to come and stay at the old house. With the housekeeper's order, they could move at will. Those who could stay here had worked at the Luther family for at least three years. They had never seen or even heard of Elijah bringing a woman home, and there was a woman who dared to tame him. This time, the two of them were really stunned, so they stood there and forgot to react.
Stretching out his hand and pulling her into his embrace, Elijah patted her back comfortingly, "I won't leave, I'll stay with you!"
It seemed that she was really scared that night.
The servant turned around and said in a cold voice, "Get a basin of warm water and bring the medicine box here!"
One trembled and the two came to their senses. They looked at each other and then lowered their heads in unison. One walked towards the bathroom while the other quickly went to get the medicine box.
Elijah carefully helped her wipe her face and neck with a warm, wet towel. She looked like Yvette, who fell down when she was a child, with rare patience and indulgence. Looking at the gradually dirtying water and towel and the faint blood seeping out of it, Elijah did not look very well. One of the maids on the side had an eye-catching expression on her face. One of them carried a new water basin and the other quickly replaced the dirty water basin. They worked with each other to change a clean towel. Elijah wiped Carolien's clothes once more. Seeing her white little hands, arm full of sand and branches marks, quite a few of them oozed blood. Her neck was also pinched with purple finger marks. Two blood stains had been scratched out from somewhere, which looked extremely dazzling on her flawless skin.
His heart was stirred by her. He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if he didn't send anyone to protect her.
He took her hand and applied some ointment that could promote the healing of her wounds. Elijah could not calm down for a long time. And his mind, which had been relaxed for a long time, could imagine the ups and downs Carolien's rational mood was.
This night, Carolien slept on Elijah's strange yet familiar bed, becoming the real first woman sleeping beside him.
For the first time, Elijah hugged her all night, but he did nothing. It was also the first time that he closed his eyes. Carolien was clear-minded and lost sleep. When
it was dawn, Carolien felt sleepy as if she had taken a nap.
All sorts of tragic images flashed through her mind as she watched others being bullied and helpless. She was constantly wronged and even scolded for the sake of life... she constantly gritted her teeth and told herself that she was strong and that she was going through it. However, in her heart, she really wanted to forget everything and hide in a dark corner so that no one could see her.
When she opened her eyes again, she only felt that the sky was still dark. She held her heavy head and felt her throat dry and burning.
"The sky hasn't brightened yet?"
She whispered. She only felt so tired!
Sure enough, it was the worst feeling of not having enough sleep but having nightmares!
Her long eyelashes fluttered. Helplessly, she returned to her knees. "Cough, cough..."
He lifted her up and raised his hand to touch her forehead. "It's already dark! You've already been unconscious for a day!"
She didn't wake up even after the alarm rang. It was really scary!
The doctor said that she might have a psychological phobia caused by fright. He said that her temperature was controllable and the effect of the medicine was effective. Just like a person who pretended not to wake up, this kind of psychological evasion and self-protection isolation, she had to rely on herself to wake up. He should not force her or disturb her, so that she could rest and recover. Therefore, he added a little glucose into the medicine she received.
"If you don't wake up, I'll take you to the hospital!"
Fortunately, the case did not exceed 24 hours! The doctor also said that such cases usually did not exceed 48 hours. He could not wait, so he gave her 24 hours!
Seeing her sleep, she didn't feel better, but her cheeks were thin and clear. He took a towel to wipe off the sweat on her forehead and the stickiness of her shoulders. Elijah took a coat and put it on her body.
"You just had a fever, don't get it again!"
Pulling his collar, he couldn't help poking her head. "Useless! Look at your courage. How did you have the courage to come to me last time?"
She was so bold at that time, so she should not be frightened by such a small incident. Fortunately, nothing had happened. Otherwise, she would not have survived. It turned out that she was just a paper tiger!
After a night of digesting it, Carolien could actually accept the whole thing. She
pursed her lips and glanced at him. "How is this the same?"
The more one's identity and status was, the more empty they were and the more dismissive they were of these types of underhanded methods. Even if they failed, the consequences would always be manageable. It was completely different from this type of situation. The more one behaved, the more unpredictable the danger they faced.
Death was not scary. Being defiled by someone like this would make life worse
than death!
At that moment, she was really scared!
"You..."
This little mouth was so hard to deal with!
Seeing that she could communicate normally, Elijah was also very pleased. He raised his hand and pinched her cheeks affectionately. "Be more courageous in the future! Believe me, I won't let anything happen to you!"
At this time, when the servant brought in the porridge, he withdrew his hand. "Are you hungry?"
Taking over the porridge, Elijah stirred it to let it cool down. He scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed it to her mouth. "Eat more. You'll be better soon! I don't like weak women!"
Her nose was full of the fragrance of porridge. Looking at the man in front of him, Carolien's heart fell and unconsciously focused on someone. Her heart, which had been frozen like a stone, seemed to be moved by something in an instant. She pursed her lower lip and slowly opened her mouth and swallowed it.
One spoon after another, Elijah fed her slowly. After taking one bite, Carolien
glanced at him from time to time uncontrollably, and warmth flowed through her
heart.
Later, she learned that because of her illness, on this day, even Elijah did not go
to work to keep her company for a full day.
After all, there was still a concern in
his family. After experiencing all these things, she suddenly thought of her child and recovered her spirit. Carolien also chose to go home to recuperate the next morning Elijah sent her back personally and took her to see the person who secretly protected her. She knew that Elijah wanted to remove the knot in her heart, but she didn't know that at the same time, her heart couldn't help but fall. The blessing and misfortunes were the support of the blessing and misfortune, and this fall
without regrets had become a fatal blow to her one day.
At the door, Elijah gave her a kiss and said, "Have a good rest! I'll come and eat
with you after work. The medicine needs to be taken for two more days. Don't
forget!"
"Yes."
Watching as Elijah left, Carolien was enveloped by an empty loneliness for the
first time.
