Chapter 44: Since when are you so caring
The call ended, Bruce sat in silence for a while and went back to his room without saying a word.
Tossing and turning all night, he woke up the next day before dawn, gazing blankly at the door of the room.
I’m used to Lindsey knocking on the door every morning to give him acupuncture, and when I don’t come in, I find it hard to accept.
I don’t know when his dependence on her became so deep.
After a simple wash, the medical team of doctors and nurses came over on time to massage and do some routine checks, and exited one after another.
Bruce lay on his back, eyes on his phone, wanting to call Lindsey, but feeling a little embarrassed.
He was depressed until 8:30, when he called Cary to help him change, had some breakfast, and left for Charlotte’s villa.
The villa was not far from Spring Hill, and it was just after 9 o’clock when he arrived. Cary gave his name and lowered the window to let the bodyguard see Bruce’s face, and only after getting confirmation did he step on the gas and continue to drive up the hill.
From the entrance to the villa area, there were three lines of bodyguards. Since Bruce didn’t come here often, every bodyguard post had to be checked, and by the time they reached the villa on the hill, almost half an hour had passed.
Lindsey and Charlotte are not in the living room, Bruce heard the maid said in the backyard, a moment can not wait to control the wheelchair, go directly to the backyard.
“Sister, be careful, don’t feed it to death.” On a big tree in the backyard, Lindsey was holding a small cardboard box in her hand and was picking at something on the trunk of the tree.
Charlotte was sitting under the tree, holding an ear-digging spoon and carefully feeding the sparrow.
Bruce’s restless heart calmed down, the afterglow stared in Lindsey’s direction and spoke faintly, “Since when are you so caring.”
Charlotte lifted her eyelids, darted a glance at Lindsey, and quietly snickered, “You want to see her that badly.”
“Sis.” Bruce said stiffly, “I don’t care about anything else, but this is the only thing you can’t interfere with.”
“No meddling!” Charlotte put down her ear scoop and raised her hand with conviction: “I swear.”
It would be strange not to interfere! She silently added in her mind and turned her head to greet Lindsey down loudly.
“Only caught three, only enough for its meal, I’d better catch more.” Lindsey finished crisply and climbed up deftly.
Bruce watched the whole heart lift up, looking at Charlotte’s eyes suddenly full of reproach: “The tree is too dangerous, let her down.”
Charlotte shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: “I can not call, or you try.”
Bruce pursed his lips and looked at her steadily for a few seconds, when he really controlled the wheelchair to slide over.
He knew Lindsey was good at it, and he knew Lindsey wouldn’t have any accidents, but he couldn’t let go. Subconsciously, he has taken himself as Lindsey’s husband, naturally obliged to protect her.
“No hurry, I’ve searched all over the bottom of the tree, I’ll be ready soon.” Lindsey smiled and stopped moving, grabbed the branch and looked down at him: “Why are you here.”
“Had some business to talk to my big sister about.” Bruce lied without blushing: “A change of clothes, I brought them for you.”
“No, I’ll be back in a minute.” Lindsey’s heart warmed and the smile on her face became even brighter: “Brother’s training is over, the flight back to L city tonight.”
Bruce was slightly surprised, and then became ecstatic.
The dumb and flabbergasted look fell into Lindsey’s eyes, which immediately led to a silver bell-like laughter: “I lied to you, Warren’s flight is tomorrow morning, we’ll go together.”
“I’ll call Grandpa right away.” Bruce’s face floated a little dark red: “You come down first.”
Lindsey took a sideways glance at the bugs in the box and shook her head again, “Five minutes is all it takes, just be patient.”
“Okay.” Bruce didn’t continue to push.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Lindsey smiled at him with satisfaction and continued to climb higher branches, carefully searching the trunk for small worms that could feed the sparrows.
Not far away, Charlotte saw this scene, can not help but helplessly bitter smile.
The brother looked at Lindsey’s eyes so passionately, even the other people are aware of, but I do not know how the girl’s brain circuit grows, actually did not have a little feeling.
If another, if they knew the family history of The Grant family, they would have been eager to nod, which will always stay out of the way like her.
It seems to pull the red line this kind of thing, is really not good to intervene.
But for their own deliberate arrangements, the results are still very satisfactory. At least it forced out the true mind of the brother, he cares more about Lindsey than he thought.
The two of them have no intention of coming back, so she got up and went to the living room.
Lindsey was so preoccupied with catching bugs that she didn’t notice Charlotte leaving, and only felt that Bruce’s behavior today seemed a bit unusual.
He has been here for at least ten minutes now, and actually kept his neck tilted, not too tired.
Grabbing enough bugs, she shook the carton and slowly climbed down.
There was actually a ladder in the villa, but she wasn’t used to using it, so she had the maid send it back to the utility room.
The trunk of the tree was very thick, she was holding the carton in one hand and controlling the speed with the other, but she was obviously a bit overwhelmed. As a result, when she got down to a height of about three meters, the bottom of her foot slipped and her whole body fell straight down.
“It’s over …” Lindsey wailed in her heart, only to see Bruce suddenly control the wheelchair rushed over, she did not even say the words, then heavily into his arms.
“Boom” a muffled sound, the two with the wheelchair directly tumbled out.
Lindsey’s fall was unclear, and when she opened her eyes, Bruce’s handsome face was magnified in front of her eyes.
The two of them were in a very ambiguous position, and coincidentally, her lips were pressed against Bruce’s mouth.
The soft and cold touch, like a strong electric current, instantly through the limbs, with a certain hidden tingling and throbbing.
Bruce’s lower body can not move, in this case, naturally will not take the initiative to move away.
“I’m sorry …” Lindsey, who reacted, bounced up from him the first time, not caring about the arm that hurt from the fall, and reached out to help him: “I’ll help you up.”
“No, you call Cary over.” Bruce lay upright on the lawn, gazing at her with a complicated gaze, feeling disheveled.
“Don’t forget I’m a nurse …,” Lindsey embarrassed, patted the grass clippings on her body with her head down, and after holding the wheelchair up, reached out her hand toward him again.
Bruce hung his head, a hand slowly clenched, the white bones on the back of the hand clear and lurid: “help no use, and you can not hold me.”
Lindsey froze, white soft palms, gently over the back of his hand: “Do not try how to know I must not?”
