96 Seeing It With My Own Eyes
The atmosphere in the living room made Nathan’s and the butler’s hearts tense up, as if their hearts were rising into their throats.
Nathan witnessed everything in front of him in horror. He couldn’t believe his father would actually punish the old woman.
After that, the butler immediately took the necessary step. He carried Nathan and went upstairs.
He could see that Christian was furious and that Ella’s fate would not end well.
And he couldn’t let Nathan see it.
In Nathan’s eyes, Christian was a good father, even though he was very strict.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Christian was a cruel and unsympathetic person.
He did not use his hands to hug others or give warmth.
Even though Nathan wanted to help Ella, he realized that he was just a small kid, so he decided to give up. What could he do against his father?
.....
When he arrived at his room, he listened carefully to the movement outside. He looked at his butler anxiously. “Head butler, my father wouldn’t do anything to the old woman, would he?”
“Young master, sorry. I don’t know the answer,” The butler sighed helplessly.
Just this morning, he talked about Christian to Ella. Who knew that such a catastrophe would happen so soon.
In the living room, Ella could only stare at the man in front of her without having a chance to explain.
No matter what she said, Christian would think that all her words were lies.
Christian was displeased with her silence.
Meanwhile, Ella felt her head dizzy after the impact. The pain was unbearable.
“Christian...”
She called out Christian’s name in a weak voice, but the man grabbed Ella’s chin roughly. “Didn’t I warn you beforehand not to betray me?”
“You want to save yourself now?” Christian smiled coldly. “I saw you and him with my own eyes.”
Those words made Ella’s body stiffen. Christian saw her and Haikal by himself?
While in the café, Ella let Haikal hold her hand, letting Haikal touch her face. But she did all that just to embarrass Haikal.
Ella’s eyes widened and her breathing became uncontrollable.
What could she say to explain all this? If she told the truth, would Christian believe her?
“Do you remember now?”
Christian put a sinister smile on his lips.
As he said that, he grabbed Ella’s hand and led her to the bathroom upstairs.
The strength of his grip made Ella wince. But being so stubborn, she kept her mouth shut.
She didn’t want to admit something she didn’t do! She never betrayed Christian!
Warm blood ran down Ella’s forehead, down her cheeks.
Christian looked back and looked at Ella. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Are you also using this method to lure Haikal? With that pitiful look on your face?”
Christian sneered coldly. He opened the shower room and pushed Ella inside.
The cold shower wall made Ella’s body tremble. After that, Christian turned on the cold water, drenching her all over.
Ella lowered her head, watching as the water mixed with the blood coming from her forehead.
When she saw her hand, Ella felt lonely. Her heart felt empty...
She thought that after spending some time with this man in front of her, Christian would care a little more about her.
But that was just her naive thoughts. She couldn’t hope for a man like him.
This man is a devil and Ella has been trying to make a pact with the devil. She’s only an ordinary human, and she can only be his puppet.
Ella leaned her body against the wall blankly. She thought about what was wrong with her life that she deserved to be treated like this.
She had suffered so much because of her own family...
She hoped that by approaching this man, she could take revenge for all that suffering. But in order to achieve her goal, it seemed that she would have to suffer a little more...
“Isabella!” Ella made Christian even more annoyed. “Do you think I will let you go just because you are like this?”
Ella snuggled into his arms. She’d been in pain. What else would Christian do to her now?
The water was still wet all over her body, making the makeup on her face smudged. She looked so pathetic.
She closed her eyes, feeling her head throb violently.
Christian frowned in annoyance. After that, he left the room, leaving Ella alone.
When the servants outside saw Christian coming out of his room, they just sat there, not daring to come any closer.
Christian looked at them and said coldly, “Clear everything up.”
...
Ella felt immersed in the darkness for a very long time. When she woke up, the sun had already set.
Her throat ached and the wound on her head was still throbbing.
What Christian did to her came back to her mind.
What a crazy man.
Ella exhaled, but she felt her whole body go limp. She had no strength at all. Just as she was about to get up, the butler opened the door and went inside.
“Miss, are you awake? How do you feel?” The butler asked nervously.
He understood Christian’s nature so he didn’t need to ask what Christian did to Ella.
He felt sorry for this girl. She was a very good person...
Inwardly, the butler regretted what had happened. He walked to Ella’s side and put down a bowl of porridge.
Ella thanked the butler, but she didn’t touch the food. When she thought back to the wound on her forehead, she said. “May I ask you to help me get a mirror?”
The butler knew Ella wanted to see the wound on her forehead, so he handed her the mirror right away.
The wound on Ella’s forehead looked wide enough and wet because Christian left her under the shower earlier.
Ella put down the mirror and cursed inwardly.
Christian was really cruel. He made her like this and didn’t give her any treatment.
What if this wound left a mark? If she had a scar on her face and Christian didn’t want her anymore, how could she find someone else to help her?
While thinking about it, Ella felt angry.
“Don’t you think your master is going too far?” Ella said angrily. “What if this wound on my head leaves scars?”
The butler nodded sympathetically as he noticed the wound on Ella’s forehead.
Ella’s eyes lit up brightly because there was someone defending her. “Then can I ask you to help me get some medicine and bandages? If you don’t have medicine, then a bandage is enough.”
The butler’s age was twice older than her. Of course he felt sorry for this young woman. He nodded and walked out of the room.
But as soon as he opened the door, he met Christian’s figure.
“Sir-”
