Chapter 1129 Protected
Much like the previous situation, Eduard and Daphne will stay and leave with their families, while the Kane and Juliana, Lucia and Arthur, Lauren and Eve would leave together. It was still the environment in the elevator, but this time Eve was no longer restrained. Even just now, she took the initiative to chat with Juliana, and was surprised to know that she turned out to be an archaeologist.
“Eve, have you relaxed a lot today?” Seeing the change in Eve’s eyebrows, Juliana still liked to tease her.
“Well,” Eve immediately lowered her head no longer shyly, but replied seriously, “You… are all good.”
Feeling the change in Eve, Lauren himself felt surprised. Even after interacting with her, her introversion and shyness remained unchanged. He didn’t expect her to be affected by this after meeting Juliana twice. At this time, he was a little jealous of Juliana.
“We know your health is not good,” Lucia still patted Eve’s shoulder lightly with the most gentle gesture,
“But don’t be ashamed of yourself. It’s really not easy to come to this world, let alone whether you live well or not. Every encounter and fate is precious. Don’t miss it because of inferiority. Only when you cherish yourself can you be valuable. Otherwise, it would be futile for others to worry about you.”
After she finished speaking, she gave Lauren a pointed glance.
Eve noticed Lucia’s gaze, couldn’t help looking at Lauren, and understood what she meant.
“By the way, the professor at the university has already got the result, but his suggestion is that Eve go there in person, and they will do a comprehensive examination for her, and finally confirm the final treatment plan.” After stepping out of the elevator, Juliana suddenly remembered this.
“Really?!” Lauren rarely showed such an excited expression, but Eve was at a loss.
“What examination?” Eve didn’t know what Juliana was talking about, only that she was referring to herself.
“So you don’t know?” Juliana asked, looking at Lauren.
“I…” Eve clearly had the word “dazed” written in her eyes.
“Miss Davidson,” Arthur, who had been silent all this time because he had no interest in participating in women’s conversations, suddenly said, “Don’t let Lauren down.”
He was reminding and requesting.
Upon hearing this, Lucia secretly nudged Arthur and then explained to Eve,
“Has Lauren not told you yet? Actually, he has been searching for a doctor who can treat your illness all over the world. We have also been helping him inquire about it. Two months ago, Juliana passed your medical records to a mentor at her university who specializes in researching and conquering genetic blood diseases. Lauren has been waiting for an answer from the mentor, and now it seems that there is hope for your illness.”
After listening to Lucia’s explanation, Eve couldn’t express how she felt at the moment. Just now she was still frightened by Arthur’s words, but now she finally understood what he meant.
Lucia’s words were really not wrong at all. Previously, because of her illness, she felt ashamed of herself and often hid herself under feelings of inferiority. She never dared to think that someone would work hard for her sake until now…
“Lauren…” As she took Lauren’s hand initiativevely, tears overflowed from Eve’s eyes and she didn’t know what else to say.
Lauren’s heart tightened as he hugged Eve tightly and said with a bit of harshness in his voice, “I don’t need you to thank me. I just want you to be okay.”
Looking at Lauren and Eve embracing each other, Arthur suddenly spoke again, “Miss Davidson, let me talk with you alone.”
“Huh?” Almost everyone present couldn’t help but show an extremely confused expression.
Lucia frowned at Arthur; afraid that he might say something too heavy-handed.
“I know what to do,” Arthur patted Lucia’s backhand firmly before walking towards a load-bearing column in the parking lot first then turned around looking straight into Eve’s eyes.
To be honest, Eve was still somewhat afraid of Arthur especially since his attitude towards her wasn’t friendly during their previous encounters. Now hearing that he wanted to talk alone with her made her nervous enough that she had already grabbed onto Lauren’s sleeve tightly long ago.
“Go ahead,” Lauren probably guessed what Arthur wanted to say which only he could say.
“Lauren…” Lucia was somewhat worried about Eve’s ability to handle things; after all, Arthur wouldn’t consider anyone else’s capacity except facts when speaking.
If there was any tenderness, it could only be reserved solely for her.
“It’ll be fine. Let them talk.” As Lauren spoke, he gently pushed Eve forward one step. Eve hesitated deeply before giving him another deep look before summoning up courage and walking towards Arthur.
Eve had just taken a few steps when Lucia asked quietly, “Aren’t you afraid that Arthur will speak too harshly?”
“You know your man better than anyone else, right?” Laughter appeared on Lauren’s face as if teasingly asking back.
Lucia was actually choked up by this response; her face full of mixed emotions.
Juliana was relieved and looked at Eve, who had already walked up to Arthur. “Lucia, don’t worry. Some things can only be said by a cold-faced man like Arthur.”
“What kind of cold-faced man?” Lucia couldn’t help but laugh, but she also felt relieved.
Beside the column, Arthur looked down at Eve with a calm expression that didn’t reveal any emotions. Eve was so nervous that she almost trembled, but still managed to ask him, “Mr. Davies, do you have something to say to me?”
“Do you know how Lauren feels about you?” Arthur asked straightforwardly.
Eve nodded and her eyes kept looking down unconsciously without daring to meet Arthur’s gaze.
“Answer me.” Arthur didn’t approve of Eve’s small movements.
“I know,” Eve shuddered and not only answered him but also raised her head in fear of making him angry. But strangely enough, when she met his eyes again, she wasn’t afraid anymore… When did he become angry?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Lauren has a special identity. To put it bluntly, being with you puts him under tremendous pressure – especially from his family. Even when we were in school together before and he loved playing around with others, he never dared to easily start a relationship because he was afraid that the other person couldn’t handle it or that he wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure himself.”
“But this time is different. He is serious about you even though you were still confused and ignorant at first. He had already prepared everything for you beforehand. Did you know this?”Arthur continued speaking while looking at Eve.
“I didn’t know before…” Eve couldn’t lie. If it weren’t for Arthur reminding her repeatedly now, she really hadn’t thought seriously about Lauren’s feelings towards her. She just enjoyed his care and warmth recklessly before this moment came up.
