Chapter 173 You Have to Be Careful
Adele took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She looked up at Damon and nodded at him. “Then I will listen to you. I will return to China tomorrow.”
Now that something like this had happened, she had been kidnapped by those people once. If she stayed here, not only would she not be able to help him, but she might even drag him down.
Rather than this, she might as well leave.
Seeing her agree, Damon’s tightened brows slowly relaxed. After looking deeply at her, he was about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Adele subconsciously tensed up and panicked.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Seeing this, Damon immediately got up and walked to open the door.
The door opened and Ben stood outside the door. There was a hint of panic on his face. “Su Yicheng is back and is injured. I’ll go see him. I feel that he is still breathing. Mr. Yusuf, why don’t you go take a look?”
Hearing this, the emotions in Damon’s eyes were unclear. After two seconds, he nodded slightly. “I understand. I’ll go later.”
Ben nodded and did not say anything else. He turned around and left.
Damon closed the door and thought of what Ben had said just now. His face could not help but darken.
They had spent so much effort and deployed for so long to wait for the moment they caught Frank. However, Old K was the first to make a move and capture Adele, making their side the passive side.
Su Yucheng would naturally be displeased if they did not catch the person and were injured.
He turned around and walked back. He looked up inadvertently and saw that Adele had gotten out of bed at some point in time. Her two feet stepped on the cold floor, and her two big eyes, which were covered with a layer of mist, were staring at him.
“What are you doing?” he frowned subconsciously.
She was lying on the bed, but she was still barefoot on the floor. Didn’t she know that she couldn’t catch a cold at this time?
Adele felt a little depressed and blurted out, “Aren’t you going to leave tomorrow?”
If he didn’t leave, it meant that he still had to stay here and deal with those people. It meant that he was in a rain of bullets at any time and place, which meant that he was very likely to be injured.
For some reason, when she thought of this, her heart felt like it was being held tightly by a big hand, and she could not breathe.
Damon was silent for a moment. When he met the woman’s worried eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable complicated feeling in his heart.
A few seconds later, he stepped forward, pushed her back, and pushed her onto the bed. He frowned slightly as he stared at her bare feet and asked, “If anything happens to you, the teacher will not forgive me.”
As he spoke, he reached out to pull the blanket over her and covered her with it. He then picked up the phone on the table and said indifferently, “Rest well. I still have things to do. Ben will pick you up tomorrow morning.”
He turned around and was about to leave.
Adele’s heart tightened. He could not help but reach out and grab the corner of his clothes. “Damon.”
“What is it?” Damon asked in a cold and deep voice.
Adele bit her lips. She seemed to have a lot to say to him, but when she opened her mouth, she didn’t know where to start. In the end, her throat tightened and she spat out a sentence, “You have to be careful.”
A trace of imperceptible surprise flashed through Damon’s eyes. Then, she smiled and replied, “I know.”
Leaving these two words, he took a step forward and walked out without looking back.
The moment she heard the door close, Adele suddenly felt empty in her heart.
This matter, whether it was because of him or not, or whether she was implicated by him or not, in short, this time he saved her, this kindness, she would remember it.
Early the next morning, not long after she woke up, she just returned to her room and was packing up when there was a knock at the door.
She went to open the door and saw Ben standing at the door.
“Ms. Wes, after you pack up your luggage, we will prepare to leave.”
“Oh right, Assistant Johnson, I have something to trouble you to send back for me.” Adele nodded.
As she spoke, she turned around and took a neatly folded man’s shirt from the small cabinet beside her. She handed it to him.
Ben glanced at it and recognized the brand of this shirt. He already knew in his heart. He nodded. “Leave it to me! I will send it back.”
After returning the shirt, Adele went back to her room to pack her things. Everything was almost ready. She pulled her suitcase out of the room and felt a little reluctant.
Looking at Xiao Liu’s room opposite, Adele was a little hesitant and was thinking about whether to say hello to her.
Unexpectedly, Ben had already walked over and seemed to see through her thoughts. He said unhurriedly, “Ms. Wes, I have already informed Sister Luo. I said that you returned early because of your discomfort. They all expressed understanding.”
Hearing him say this, Adele could only nod and say softly, “Let’s go.”
On the way to the airport, Adele was a little depressed. The short trip to Thailand in less than three days ended because of an inexplicable kidnapping.
Those scenes, which were like TV dramas, actually happened to her.
After more than four hours of travel, it was already afternoon when they arrived at River City’s airport.
River City’s sunshine was much gentler than that of Thailand. When he stepped into the country, Adele felt more peace in his heart.
“Adele!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard. Adele looked towards the source of the voice and saw a familiar figure.
Emily, who was wearing a black hip-hop sweater with two long legs, was standing behind the railing and waving at her.
Adele was surprised and happy. She subconsciously turned to look at Ben and asked, “Why is Emily here?”
A faint smile actually appeared on Ben’s face as he said softly, “I sent her a message beforehand. She said that you wanted to return to the country and she volunteered to pick you up.”
Seeing the gentle smile on Ben’s face when he mentioned Emily, Adele could not help but gossip, “What is your relationship now?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ben quickly denied it, “No, we are just friends.”
Although he said this, there was a hint of unnaturalness on his face.
Adele looked at Ben, who had always been calm and self-confident, and his expression became much richer. He understood in his heart.
She didn’t say much and quickly walked towards the exit.
“Adele, I missed you so much!” Emily rushed up to her and hugged her with both arms.
“Alright, it’s been three days since we last saw each other. It’s like three years!” Adele’s mood had unknowingly improved a lot.
“I don’t care,” Emily chuckled. “Oh right, didn’t you say you were going for four to five days? Why are you back so early?”
Hearing her question, Adele suddenly paused. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he was a little hesitant.
It was better not to tell Emily about this kind of thing first.
She casually said, “It’s not like you don’t know that I am in my period. When I came, I was in so much pain that I almost died. There is no other way. The work there is not particularly important, so I came back first.”
Emily blinked and glanced at Ben who was not far behind him. He could not help but ask, “Then why is Ben back?”
Adele gritted his teeth and quickly searched for a reason. Before he could think of anything, Ben had already stepped forward and said seriously, “There are some urgent work in the country, so I’ll be back first.”
Hearing him say this, Emily no longer doubted. She pulled the suitcase from Adele’s hand and asked happily, “Adele, did you bring me a small gift from Thailand?”
Speaking of the small gift of specialty products, Adele was stunned.
She left in a hurry and did not think of this matter at all. The only thing that could be considered a “specialty” was probably the Thai pad that had been stuffed with half a suitcase.
