Chapter 344: I’ll Handle It For You (1)
“Young Madam, try to avoid letting your wounds be in contact with water for the next two days. Otherwise, there’ll be scarring,” the doctor instructed while putting away the first aid kid.
Luo Anning recovered from the shock and looked around the living room before asking, “Where’s Rong Yan? Where did he go? Is he in the study?”
Upon seeing Auntie Li’s awkward expression, Luo Anning’s face grew sullen and she probed, “Auntie Li, tell me, where did he go?”
After hesitating for a Long while, Auntie Li answered, “Young Master, Young Master has already gone to the hospital and he says that he won’t be back tonight…”
“He won’t be coming home?” Luo Anning murmured while her eyes gradually became clearer.
Auntie Li had no idea why they argued again, but she was clear that Rong Yan was angry at Luo Anning.
However, she couldn’t say much because she was an outsider.
“Young Madam, Young Master has only gone to look after Miss Mo. Don’t let your imagination run wild. At the hospital, you can’t do anything except take care of the patient…” After hearing herself, Auntie Li wished she could give herself a hard slap.
Why did I say those words out of nowhere? Aren’t I misleading Young Madam and insinuating that there might be something fishy between Young Master Rong and Miss Mo?
By the time she tried to explain herself out of panic, Luo Anning had already stood up to leave.
The servants looked at each other in dismay while Auntie Li strode forward to pull her. “Young Madam, it’s raining heavily outside. Where are you going?”
Luo Anning shrugged Auntie Li’s arm away and said, “Don’t follow me. I want to be alone.”
…
When Catherine appeared in front of her with an umbrella, dressed in a luxurious bespoke dress that ended at her knees, Luo Anning almost thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Seeing that she was drenched from head to foot and her feet were bleeding, Catherine frowned.
“Why are you so disheveled?” Catherine asked emotionlessly.
To her surprise, Luo Anning leaped towards her and hugged her as soon as she finished speaking. Sobbing, she murmured, “Catherine…”
Her neck was a little warm and moist. Catherine had no idea if the moisture was because of her tears or the rain.
Catherine was not used to being in close physical contact with others but she didn’t push Luo Anning away.
She clumsily patted Luo Anning on her back with her other hand that was free. “Hey, what’s wrong with you?” She asked, appearing a little uneasy.
“I feel terrible.”
Half an hour later, they were in an apartment in the bustling district.
Luo Anning held onto a cup of hot chocolate and scanned her surroundings in the clean apartment. “Catherine, is this your apartment? I don’t remember you having a job in S City.”
Catherine picked up a cup of black coffee and answered, “I have jobs all over the world. This is just a temporary lodging for me.”
To be specific, they were Kristen’s jobs and she was there to help him this time.
The mission that cropped up at the last minute caused a delay in their agenda for S City. As soon as Catherine disembarked from the plane, she headed straight to Luxury Mansion in spite of the sudden thunderstorm.
However, she didn’t expect to see a disheveled Luo Anning walking towards her in the heavy rain.
She couldn’t stay for long this time. Hence, she cut straight to the chase. “Luo…”
As soon as she spoke, she met Luo Anning’s widened eyes. Catherine coughed and decided to address her in the same way that Kristen did. “Anning, I’m out on a mission this time and decided to stop by to see you. I won’t be staying for long but if you need any help, feel free to let me know. I’ll handle it for you.”
