Chapter 45 She Was Just Frightened

She was just frightened. She wasn’t even injured! Ryan just insisted on carrying her. When Maria

asked that question, Catherine’s face immediately turned scarlet.

Glaring at Ryan with a displeased look, she thought to herself, “I told you not to carry me but you insist! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Aren’t you embarrassing me?

In response, Ryan answered calmly, “Yes, she is. Get some painkillers for her.”

“Oh! Alright, I’ll go get them now.” Maria was in the middle of cooking, so she hurriedly wiped her hands

clean and took off her apron.

“No, I’m not injured!” Catherine shouted at Maria.

Catherine’s heart couldn’t help but throb. Why did he care about her so much? She didn’t want his

concern.

Tears pooled around her eyes as she shook her head lightly. She didn’t want to speak, afraid that he

would notice that she was moved by him.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Ryan dialed a number swiftly. Catherine heard him instructing a

man on the line, “Victoria, come over to my apartment. Yes, now, bring some medicine and first aid kit.”

“I don’t need them!” Catherine turned her head to refuse his help, but he had already ended the call.

Unable to change his mind, Catherine sighed deeply in her heart. Even when she refused him twice, it

was useless. She was living in his world helplessly because only what he felt mattered.

“Mr. Walker, I really don’t need your help. I’m not someone important to you. I’m just a tool, and I’m not

injured.”

Why was this woman so long-winded? Could she stop being troublesome and just accept his

kindness?

Why did she never appreciate what he did for her?

“I think you’re cuter when you were frightened just now,” he chuckled at her nagging and teased her,

but it was also his heartfelt words.

Thinking about how her pale and delicate face snuggled into his embrace, she looked as if he was her

entire world, as if he was her heaven, as if he was the one she could rely on. That feeling made him

feel good.

Ryan looked so intoxicated at the moment, but Catherine couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Not in the mood to find out the answer to that, she was only thinking about taking a bath.

As if he could read her thoughts, he immediately understood what she wanted to do after she scanned

her own body.

He knew that every time she wasn’t willing to have sex with him, she would take a bath after that as if

she wanted to remove all the traces he left on her body. Since she treated him that way, how could she

stand being touched by a stinky and homeless man?

When he bent his body closer to her, Catherine thought he was going to kiss her. She didn’t want that

at the moment, because she was filthy.

“Don’t kiss me, I’m dirty,” she said without thinking and then immediately regretted it.

Indeed, he wanted to kiss her, but it would be

better to kiss her after she showered.

“Go take a shower.” He smiled and picked her up again. It should be no problem for her to take a

shower since she wasn’t seriously injured.

Why did Ryan have to carry her again? She didn’t hurt her foot, so she could just take a shower on her

own! She was the one who was terrified, not him, so why was he acting out of the norm?

“Mr. Walker, put me down.” Ignoring her, Ryan carried her out of the bedroom and went straight to the

bathroom.

“Ryan Walker, put me down! Why are you carrying? Can you act like you always do?!” He wouldn’t

listen to her if she talked to him nicely, so Catherine couldn’t resist the urge to roar at him anymore.
