It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 27

Malcolm’s face was so dark that he resembled the god of Death at his most sinister. His Land Rover sped along the narrow city roads. He had just received a call from Kaleb telling him that Lucia had an accident at the studio. She was hit by a lamp which apparently failed. The first thing Malcolm did was order Kaleb to fully investigate this matter. He then immediately went to the hospital where Lucia was.

When Malcolm entered the hospital, all the medical staff in the aisle were frightened by the cold aura emanating from him. They didn’t even dare to say a word. Kaleb, who was already at the hospital, quickly walked towards Malcolm when he saw him arrive.

” What happened? » Malcolm asked coldly without stopping.

“A light projector hanging from the ceiling of the studio fell and Miss Garcia was hit. Luckily, she was quick enough to dodge it, so only her calf was injured,” Kaleb explained.

Since Mina attacked Lucia in the street, Malcolm had already assigned people to follow her secretly and permanently, in order to prevent such an incident from happening again. Of course, these people were like shadows and she didn’t even suspect their existence. When Lucia entered the studio today, they waited outside. No one would have thought that anything would happen to him inside the studio.

” What do you mean? Would the spotlight have hit her in the head if she hadn’t been quick enough to dodge it? In this case, it is indeed an attempted murder. » Malcolm very quickly came to this conclusion.

” Yes I think it too. » Kaleb nodded, head bowed.

He couldn’t deny responsibility for what had happened. He felt guilty. And for good reason! He personally trained the people who were responsible for protecting Lucia. However, the latter’s life was in danger under their surveillance.

“I want to have names tomorrow,” Malcolm said coldly.

He then entered the elevator, followed by Kaleb. When they arrived outside Lucia’s room, Malcolm’s eyes darkened. He opened the door and entered it. Kaleb didn’t go in with Malcolm. He just stayed at the door.

Malcolm took a long look at Lucia, who was lying in bed. The doctor had already treated his injured calf. His leg was now covered in thick gauze and plaster to prevent him from moving it due to the pain. She had two IVs in the back of her hand. One was an anti-inflammatory and the other was the analgesic pump. Her face is very pale, far from the vigorous and blushing face she had this morning. This was the second time something bad had happened to Lucia, and for Malcolm, it was a lot.

At that time, the doctor entered the room to check Lucia’s condition after the operation. For a moment, He looked at Malcolm who was in a daze. Suddenly he recognized it. He now understood why he and his colleagues had been asked earlier that evening to wait in the operating room well before the ambulance that had picked up Lucia could arrive. Who would dare to disobey the order of the CEO of the Evans Group?

“Mr. Evans…” The doctor greeted Malcolm in a low voice, nodding at him.

” How is she? » There was no friendliness in Malcolm’s voice.

“Miss Garcia was just hit in the calf by a spotlight that broke. Judging by the size of the wound as well as the extent of the bleeding, I would say that the spotlight had fallen from a fairly high point. But we have already treated the wound. She just needs a good rest and she should not move her injured leg. She will be able to leave the hospital in ten days. She will not have any after-effects from this injury,” the doctor briefly explained.

” All right. You can leave now,” Malcolm said in an indifferent tone.

The doctor immediately left the room. Once outside, he let out a long sigh of relief. He realized how depressing it was to stay in the same room with someone like Malcolm. “How could this young woman bear living with him? “, the man wondered. He couldn’t help but admire Lucia’s courage. He was only in the room with Malcolm for a short time, but he already felt suffocated. “Didn’t she feel the same?” »

Inside the room, Malcolm stroked Lucia’s sleeping face. A trace of pity crossed Malcolm’s handsome face. Although she was sound asleep, Lucia must have felt someone touching her face. She frowned. But she relaxed very quickly. Maybe it was the familiar smell and touch that put her at ease.

Staring at the sleeping Lucia, Malcolm whispered, “Wildcat, you asked me if I would fall in love with you… Maybe I will really fall in love with you when you are strong enough.” »

His voice was very soft. It was almost as if he was whispering to himself. However, what he said seemed so unreal.

As he looked at Lucia’s delicate sleeping face, a cold glint passed into his eyes. “How dare they attack my wife? », he thought.

Squinting, Lucia suddenly woke up. She quickly realized she was in the hospital again when she saw the familiar white surroundings and smelled the pungent odor of disinfectant. It was her second time being hospitalized this month. What happened that morning came back to him like a scene from a movie.

It seemed like she was really unlucky lately. For starters, she was brutally attacked in the street after leaving work and almost killed. This time, she was hit by a projector that had come loose at the studio and almost lost her life. “Should I visit a temple and pray for this bad luck to go away from me? ”, she asked herself.

She was about to get up when she discovered that her calf was wrapped in thick gauze and plaster and was hanging off the end of the bed. The doctor did this to prevent him from moving his injured leg. He had put a hypodermic needle in the back of her hand. The needle was connected to the bag of drip fluid hanging above the bed. A PCA pump was also connected to his hand. Seeing all this medical equipment, Lucia wondered how seriously injured she was this time. “Is all this really necessary? How many days will I have to stay in this room? » The more she thought about it, the darker her face became.

” You are awake ?! » Malcolm asked softly looking at Lucia. Although awake, she seemed lost in thought.

Hearing Malcolm’s voice, Lucia immediately came to her senses. ” Why are you here? » she asked him. She was visibly surprised by his presence. She was so preoccupied just now that she didn’t even notice someone standing next to her.

Malcolm didn’t answer her question. He just looked at her calmly. His look made Lucia uncomfortable.

“I’m hungry,” she said to break the uncomfortable but intimate atmosphere of the room. It was really strange.

Just then, a nurse came in and brought the food that Malcolm had ordered. He took the food from the nurse and placed it on the nearby cabinet. He then set the bed table and arranged the food on it. Holding Lucia by the waist, he helped her sit on the bed and adjust her position before putting a soft pillow behind her. It was only after he was sure she was seated comfortably that he let go of her hand.

Lucia just watched his gentle movements without saying a word. Once again, her heart was moved by his tenderness. She really didn’t expect that the first person she would see when she opened her eyes would be Malcolm. She thought it would be a doctor or a nurse. Or better yet, one of his colleagues.

Anyway, Lucia was really hungry now. Maybe it was because she had been so busy in the morning that she didn’t have time to eat, and she had just woken up from surgery. She reached out to grab the spoon to start eating. But before she could touch the spoon, Malcolm took it.

“Let me feed you,” he said simply.

He took a spoonful of soup, and after blowing on it to cool it a little, he brought it to Lucia’s mouth. She had tears in her eyes at so much tenderness towards her. However, she did her best to hold them back and taking a deep breath, opened her mouth to drink the soup. This was the second time Malcolm had fed her. Without taking his eyes off her, Malcolm continued to feed her until she was finished. Once she finished drinking the soup, Malcolm asked someone to come in and clean the table.

“Malcolm, what do you want?” » Lucia asked in a low voice, looking at him in a daze.

“You,” Malcolm replied indifferently. His eyes darkened suddenly.

” Me? Haven’t you already had me so many times? I just make you feel good, don’t I? » Lucia’s voice was weak and confused.

” You are unique. No one can ever replace you. You’re just incomparable,” Malcolm said softly. He seemed to be saying these words not only to Lucia but also to himself.

In a slow motion, he gently ran his hand through her hair, stroking it delicately as he looked at her fondly. Seeing her slightly pale face, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips. His k**s this time was not as frantic and flirtatious as before. He just bit her lips gently. She didn’t resist. She just leaned against him quietly. After a long time, Malcolm finally let go of Lucia’s lips. He then sat on the edge of the bed and took her in his arms.

“Be strong for me from now on,” he said indifferently.

Lucia snuggled into his arms without saying anything. She felt that there seemed to be some unusual emotions in Malcolm today. He made the strong fortress of his heart crumble little by little. Indeed, Malcolm had this unique ability to fascinate a woman without the slightest effort.

“By the way, has this man been caught?” » Lucia asked suddenly remembering the man in the peaked cap. She was so excited that she moved her injured leg, causing her to scream in pain.

” Have you seen him? » Malcolm asked him, his voice going cold suddenly. A strange light came into his eyes. He carefully returned Lucia’s leg to its original position.

Lucia then briefly told him what had happened this morning. Malcolm thought for a moment, silently.

After a while, he finally opened his mouth: “Don’t think about all this anymore. I’ll take care of it. Just take good care of yourself, okay? »

“But…” Lucia wanted to say something again, but Malcolm’s look made her swallow the words.

“I don’t want you to think about the advertising business anymore either. If you continue to think too much, I will have to cancel our contract with your company. » Malcolm threatened her casually. It was as if he had read her mind.

“You…” Lucia turned around angrily and was sulking.

“Sleep now,” Malcolm said softly after checking the time on his phone.

He then took off his suit jacket and pressed a button to adjust the bed before lying down next to her. Closing his eyes to take a little nap, he hugged her gently.

The familiar scent of Malcolm filled Lucia’s nose. It was as if his restless heart had found the shore to dock on and now he was no longer alone.

Tonight the moon outside was clear and bright. The moonlight spread throughout the room, illuminating the two people who were cuddling intimately.

What happened that day was immediately reported in the Middle East.

” What? Did someone else hurt her first? » The cold voice of the man in the dark echoed throughout the room.

He leaned back against the couch casually and crossed his legs. The crystal glass in his hand was filled with scarlet liquid. When he gently shook the glass, the scarlet liquid glowed strangely in the dim light.

“Yes Commander,” Hudson replied respectfully.

“Who dares to attack my prey? » The man’s voice became even colder.

Hudson stood quietly aside. It was a hot season in the Middle East, but the night was a little cold. The icy coldness emanating from the Commander made everyone in the room shiver.

Raising the crystal glass, he looked at it for a moment before drinking the wine in one gulp. With a little effort, the crystal glass shattered into pieces in his hand, and the pieces of sharp glass cut his skin. The b***d that flowed from the cut fell to the ground like a splendid cherry blossom. In such a strange atmosphere, this sight looked very enchanting under the refraction of light.

Seeing that the commander’s hand was bleeding, a man quickly approached him and treated his wound.

The commander’s African cheetah lay quietly at his feet, occasionally enjoying his caresses. It looked so docile that people might believe it was a harmless pet. However, if we saw how this apparently docile animal devoured the condemned to death who were thrown to it, we would no longer think that way.

The night in the Middle East suddenly became dark and terrifying.
