An Ke struggled to get up. This was not a place she could afford to stay. She was barely managing to eat.
The middle-aged woman pressed her back down, staring at her face: “Fortunately, treatment was timely. Otherwise, this face would have been ruined.”
An Ke remembered what happened last night – that vicious woman, her small body trembling slightly. And that inexplicable, arrogant madman. She had slapped him with all her might last night, but it did nothing to ease her hatred. The public rumors were indeed untrustworthy. In public, he seemed like a prince, but behind the scenes, who knew what evil he had done. A man like this was beyond her league. Even if she didn’t care about herself, she still had her beloved family. Her heart felt sour. What bad luck was this? “Madam, thank you for helping me, but I must leave now.”
The woman didn’t let her go, just sighed: “It wasn’t me who helped you.”
An Ke was about to ask who helped her when a man walked in: “Lin, the boss wants to see this young lady.”
“The boss? Who is your boss?” A bad feeling crept up, and An Ke tried to stay calm.
The woman didn’t answer her, just told the man: “We’ll go right away.” The man left without another word, casting a meaningful glance at An Ke.
“Here are your clothes, washed and dried. Please put them on. And your phone, it should still work,” the woman said, handing her the clothes, a hint of compassion in her heart.
She didn’t know what happened last night, only that the boss had carried a woman, both completely wet, and ordered them to heal her facial injuries no matter what. Someone might think he specially cared for this woman. Though he maintained a faint smile, only the depths of his dark eyes revealed his true anger.
Dressed, An Ke took a deep breath. She told herself not to be afraid: “Lin, let’s go.”
“Miss An…” Lin hesitated, looking at An Ke.
Lin Sao, what do you want to say to me?” An Ke noticed her hesitation.
