"Humph, I'm being serious here, but you're not serious with me."
Hendrix was speechless.
Nicholas knew that he was mad because he didn't tell him about his wound. He was just worried about him.
"Well, don't be angry. I promise you that I will not take my safety as a joke. Cecilia is blind, the glass would have cut into her face if I did not block it for her. A little girl's face is supposed to be fair and tender. Her whole life would be over if there's a slightest cut."
Nicholas had no choice but to continue explaining.
"Okay, I won't investigate this matter anymore, but you have to tell me what you think about Cecilia."
There was concern in Hendrix's eyes. He was really afraid that Nicholas would like her. If it were another normal woman, he would not stop her. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas would behead him if they knew Hendrix had fallen in love with a blind girl.
"Nothing. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Nicholas rolled his eyes at him and answered seriously.
"Seriously?"
Hendrix was still worried and asked.
"Of course. I'm here to escape from trouble, not to get into relationships. I understand this very well, and I won't get involved with innocent people."
Nicholas said with a serious face.
Hendrix breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm relieved that you think this way. Arrangements have been done for the two sisters. The elder sister came to work at the restaurant but she brought along her younger sister so that she could get her eyes treated."
"Maybe there is no hope in their country, that's why she brought her sister abroad."
"To be honest, I really admire the elder sister. It seems that in order to take care of her sister, she has spent a lot of effort. She dressed her sister up like a fairy but not herself. She is really strong."
Hendrix said flatly.
"It's rare to find such a sister. This must be the happiest thing to have happened to her in her life."
Nicholas felt emotional.
"Put on your clothes. Let's go out and have something to eat. We should do a background analysis on the guy that intercepted us midway just now." Hendrix looked at Nicholas's upper body, which was wrapped with gauze. Hendrix believed any woman would be attracted by his masculine body.
Nicholas casually picked up a shirt and put it on before walking out.
"Did you send them something to eat?"
Nicholas asked.
"I've arranged someone to deliver them food. Don't worry, they won't starve."
Hendrix replied.
It was at night after Nicholas arranged his schedule, he stood outside the balcony. His bedroom balcony was located opposite of the bangalow where the two sisters lived. There was also a small balcony on their second floor. Nicholas's residence was situated on a higher level than theirs, so he could see the movements on the opposite second floor clearly.
Nicholas held a glass of red wine in his hand, and swirled the wine gently. The weather started to cook as it was almost autumn. Nicholas had just taken a shower and was wearing a gray night robe. He looked noble and his gaze was sharp and bright especially under the
moonlight.

He accidentally saw what happened at the small balcony on the opposite side of the second floor. Cecelia seemed to have taken a shower too and was sitting at the balcony enjoying the night breeze. She wanted to get the cup next to her but she did not know where her sister was so she couldn't find help. She tried to reach it with her fingers but accidentally broke the vase instead, and the flowers fell to the ground.
Her sister rushed over after hearing the noise and helped her clean up. Cecilia was acting like a child who made a mistake, her hands were holding her dress tightly, and she was lost.
Nicholas narrowed his eyes. For some reason, his heart ached for her.
She was young, but she could not see how colorful the world was. It was indeed pitiful.
Nicholas took a sip of wine quietly. Unknowingly, his eyes had been. fixed on Cecilia for a few minutes. He held his wine glass and drank slowly as he watched her being
nervous, panicked and finally
calmed down.
If he'd only been sympathetic before, then at this moment, he felt more like he was admiring a painting, a painting that was nice either in motion or at pause.
"She won't be able to see me, right."
Nicholas changed his position and continued to stare at the opposite side.
He was sitting on a chair outside the balcony with no light. He thought that since Cecelia was blind, she wouldn't know that he was looking at her.
The man's thin lips curled slightly as he rejoiced in having his own little secret.
However, what Nicholas didn't know was that the quiet girl sitting opposite of him was well aware of what was happening. There was a whole drama playing in her heart.
"I can't believe he is looking at me. I didn't expect him to be such a person."
"It's okay, you can look all you want. Anyway, my purpose here is to seduce you. Don't blame me if you fall for my trick."
Cecilia was smiling slightly, but Nicholas couldn't see it from afar.
After Leana cleaned up everything, she came over to ask Cecilia to go to bed. Cecilia had to get up and fumbled into the room.
Nicholas watched as Cecilia suddenly took off her coat, revealing a small white slip dress underneath. Her skin was smooth and fair, and she had a nice body proportion.
"Cough..." Nicholas was surprised to see her body figure that he almost choked on a mouthful of wine. He quickly covered his thin lips to avoid coughing loudly. He even hid behind a flower pot nervously.
Cecilia did it on purpose. She deliberately took off her coat and put on a sexy little slip dress that revealed some parts of her body.
"Ha, do you like it?"
Cecilia sneered in her heart.
Nicholas took a deep breath. To be honest, it was not his first time seeing a girl's body, he had seen all the beauties on the beach wearing bikinis.
But just now... why did he feel nervous and flustered when Cecilia took off her coat? It was as if he was acting like a thief.
Nicholas found his actions laughable. He was a normal man, and... Cecilia wouldn't even know that he was peeping at her. Why should he feel guilty?
Hence, Nicholas found a good excuse for himself to continue watching.
Right at this moment, the lights on the second floor went out, blocking his sight.
"Damn it."
Nicholas cursed in his heart. He had no choice but to get up and return to his room feeling dull.
