Pay For Lovely Me
Chapter 26 Pretending To Be Gentle

During the process of applying medicine, Hans had been sitting beside her

He hold her shoulder and seemed to care about her very much. When he saw her pale face and broke into a cold sweat, he comforted her in a low voice, "Celia, bear with it for a while. You'll be fine soon." Celia pursed her lips tightly. The pain made her unable to speak. Although the medicine alleviated the burning feeling, the pain was still so clear that unbearable for her.

Standing aside, Joe look on anxiously, but he couldn't get close to her. His eyes were full of concern and doubts, but he didn't know where to start. He glanced at Hans, who looked gentle, and he wondered why he was so gentle to Celia?

"Celia, if you can't bear the pain, just cry out. Don't hold it back."

Joe's voice was full of pain, he wished the person who got burn is him, not her.

Celia raised her pale face, which was covered with sweat. When she saw the painful black eyes of him, she was moved and sad, but she tried her best to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes. She bit her lips hard and said softly, "Joe, I'm fine."

Fine?

How could it be all right!

After the doctor finished applying the medicine, he saw the cold sweat on her forehead. Feeling worried for her, he took out a tissue and was about to wipe it for her, but was taken over by Hans without being noticed. "Let me do it!"

The expression on his face changed slightly, but he heard the voice of Celia, "Joe, how is father these days? Is he feeling better?"

"How would you still know to care about father? Celia, you haven't been... Mr. Hans! "

Nancy's sharp and mean voice came from the door. As the position of Joe and the doctor just blocked the figure of Hans. When she appeared, she only saw the doctor who was packing up and Celia with a painful face. Hearing Celia's concern, she sneered without hesitation. But before she finished her words, Joe turned around to look at her. All of a sudden, she saw a cold man sitting next to Celia. She immediately stopped talking and greeted to him respectfully.

It was hard to know whether it was joy or fear in her tone.

Hans's eyes settled on Celia gently, as if he hadn't heard Nancy's voice, and he didn't even raise his head. He just wiped the sweat off her forehead slowly and said in a low and calm voice, "Look at your painful face. Be careful next time. Don't hurt yourself again."

Looking at the hypocritical face of Hans, Celia was a little stunned. She even forgot that Nancy was standing at the door. If she didn't clearly remember the disgust in his eyes and his humiliation to her, she would definitely think that he really cared about her. Perhaps she would fall into his deep and loving black eyes.

She frowned and sneered in her heart.

"Nancy, why don't you stay with father in the ward? Why are you here?"

With a cold expression on Joe's face, and a hint of displeasure in his tone. He couldn't believe that Hans really loved Celia, at this moment, he was different from the hearsay.

Nancy was also a little stunned. She was jealous. She walked over step by step, looked at Hans affectionately, and even ignored her brother's words. She stopped in front of him, tried to wear a gentle smile and said softly, "Mr. Hans, I have always wanted to explain to you what happened that day. In fact, that day..."

"You don't have to explain, as long as you do your job well. You won't feel wronged, will you?"

The calm and slow voice of Hans interrupted the endless explanation of her. In fact, his tone was not gentle, and the doting look in his eyes had been replaced. There was only a trace of coldness in his eyes. However, in her view, his indifferent glance made her feel warm.

A bright smile bloomed on her face, as if the pain of the slap in the afternoon disappeared in an instant, and the grievance of the past few days vanished.

"Yes, I'm not aggrieved at all. Don't worry, Mr. Hans. I will work hard."

Nancy smiled like an idiot and nodded repeatedly. She almost threw herself at him in front of everyone. The tenderness and love in her eyes were undisguised.

With a slight frown of Joe, the doctor next to him gave the advised and left the ward. Celia looked at them indifferently. She always felt that there was coldness in Hans's eyes.

"Mr. Hans, my father mentioned you just now and said that he wanted to thank you for your great kindness. How about you go downstairs with me to see my father?"

As soon as Nancy finished her words, both Celia and Joe were stunned. The two of them looked at Hans at the same time, while Nancy looked at him with an idiot face, and looking forward to his nod. "Nancy, stop that nonsense!"

Joe stopped her and gave her a sullen look.

"Okay, let's go!"

With a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, so fast that no one could catch it clearly. Then he looked at Celia and said in a gentle voice, "Celia, you talk with your brother first. I'll be back soon."

Celia gritted her teeth out of hatred in her heart, but she endured it on the face. She nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry about me. Joe is here."

"Okay, I know Joe loves you all the time."

Hans said on purpose, and the mockery in his eyes was fleeting in an instant. Then he stood up and left the ward with Nancy.

Hearing the footsteps go away, Joe sat down in the seat where Hans had just been. He stared at Celia worriedly and asked with concern, "Celia, tell me, is Hans really good to you?"

Somehow, he felt that the man was not good to Celia. Although he had been very gentle just now, he just felt something strange. Maybe it was because his tenderness was too fake, and there was clearly coldness and ridicule in his eyes, and he didn't know what he wanted. But anyhow, he would do everything to protect Celia and try to make her leave.

When he made the promise in his heart, he had already had a plan. And before long, he got the answer after thorough investigation. Unfortunately, he had risked his life for it, and he failed to protect Celia from harm.

With a slight smile on Celia's face, the pain seemed to be alleviated a little. She looked at Joe who loved her and nodded slightly, "Joe, as you can see just now, Hans is very kind to me. I know what you are worried about. The scald was caused by my carelessness when I knocked over the bowl of soup. I didn't ask him to inform you, but I couldn't stop him."

His eyes looked over her hands and feet, and his heart felt painful again. He frowned and looked at her with worried. ☐☐☐
