91 Injured Hand
Ella witnesses Haikal and Indri’s departure. Her bad mood got a little better after she took her anger out on Indri.
As she turned around, she was met with Christian’s somber gaze.
She had been so angry earlier that she had forgotten the existence of the man beside her, as well as the chubby five year old who was standing next to his father.
She had forgotten that she had come here to take care of Nathan. But their encounter turned out to cause a commotion.
Meanwhile, Nathan still couldn’t react at this time. He was still drowning in his admiration.
He felt that the old woman in front of him was too cool! Even cooler than when they were in the supermarket!
His tiny face was full of excitement and his gaze was fixed on Ella with pride. He felt amazed and proud that Ella was not afraid when faced with ugly women who tried to annoy her.
Ella looked very brave when she dealt with the ugly woman earlier!
Of course, as his babysitter, Ella couldn’t embarrass him!
.....
That look of admiration made Ella’s heart feel happy. Never had anyone looked at her with such admiration and pride before.
Just as she was about to say something, Christian had already snorted, “How dare...”
Ella lowered her head in shame. And then realized that everyone in the room was looking at them.
It seemed she had caught everyone’s attention.
She curled up slightly as if trying to hide from their judgemental stares. But actually, the scariest look came from Christian who was looking at her now.
“I didn’t mean to, um... I’m sorry I made such a fuss.”
Ella lowered her head deeper in fear.
Christian walked up to her and said in a low voice, “Are you satisfied now?”
“Hmm...” Ella nodded honestly even though she was afraid. Of course she was very satisfied because she could retaliate at Indri.
But that didn’t mean her complacency would stop her from taking revenge.
As she had told Indri earlier, she would avenge what they all did to her, with her own hands. And her threat was not meant to be taken as empty.
“Tsk...” She heard Christian’s sneer in her ear in response to her actions. She closed her eyes and prepared to accept Christian’s punishment.
But when she lifted her head, she found that Christian was already walking towards the stage.
On the stage there was a standing mic usually used to deliver presentations, so it’s only natural to have it at a gathering like this.
Ella looked at the man standing on the stage, surrounded by a beautiful crystal chandelier. He was the center of everything in this world.
Christian looked at everyone below the stage. His voice came from the microphone. “I don’t want anyone to talk about today’s matter.”
It wasn’t too loud, but there was a firmness in his tone that made everyone feel the urge to comply.
After saying that, Christian immediately got off the stage.
Ella looked at him with a stunned look. Meanwhile, Nathan was eating cake beside Ella and said with his mouth full. “My father is the greatest.”
Ella turned to Nathan and was surprised to find the boy back to eating and filling his stomach again.
Even without Christian’s warning, these people wouldn’t really dare to discuss this matter. After all, Indri and Ella were from the Maheswara Family. In addition, the Maheswara and Adisurya family would soon be united.
No one would dare to seek trouble with them.
At most, this incident would only become gossip when the rich ladies had lunch together.
Ella didn’t care. She no longer had a name or reputation in this city.
She did not know how many versions of her story from five years ago that went circulating. She had been labeled as a bad person. How could she still be afraid of being talked about by these people?
Not long after that, Christian came home with Ella and Nathan.
Ella was sitting in the car looking a little dazed. What was on her mind right now was the figure of her mother.
She suspected that her mother’s death had something to do with them.
Subconsciously, her hands clenched into fists once again. A resolute determination for revenge flashed in her eyes.
Nathan could feel Ella’s turbulent emotions. He used his hand to gently tug on Ella’s dress. “Old woman, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m fine,” Ella rushed to cover her emotions as she turned to face Nathan and cracked a smile.
“I don’t believe it,” Nathan said.
He pulled Ella’s hand and when he felt the warmth in her hand, his eyes went wide. The warmth didn’t come from his body temperature.
Her hand felt wet. He immediately turned the palm of Ella’s hand and found a drop of fresh blood.
“Old woman, you...”
Nathan looked at Ella’s palm frantically, not knowing what to say.
When Christian heard his son’s words, he immediately looked in the same direction.
Ella’s soft and tiny hands left a trail of blood. The marks on her hands were clearly made by her own nails because she was clenching her fists too tightly.
Ella didn’t know what to say when faced with Christian and Nathan demanding answers from her, especially when Christian’s eyes were trying to investigate her.
She swallowed nervously. As she was about to explain, she found that Christian had already averted his eyes.
He didn’t seem to care.
Suddenly, Ella’s heart ached.
She closed her mouth again and looked out the window.
Nathan felt a strange aura between Christian and Ella. This awkwardness also made him feel confused so he decided to keep quiet.
...
At home, Christian saw Ella sitting on the sofa pensive. He raised his hand and told his servant to get the medicine box.
“Let me see.”‘
Ella was still in a daze until Christian stood in front of her.
“Christian?”
Her eyes fell on the medicine box the man was carrying and her beautiful eyes looked surprised.
“Give me your hand.”
Christian’s face looked grim.
Ella stretched out her hand obediently. A smile immediately appeared on her lips. “Thank You.”
“I’d like you to thank me in another way,” Christian said, looking at her with deep eyes. “You know what I mean.
Ella fell silent.
Of course she knew what Christian meant. What else could he want from her other than her body?
“Are you cursing me in your heart again?” Christian said as if he could guess Ella’s thoughts.
Before Ella could answer, Christian had crouched down and picked her up from the couch, carrying her upstairs.
