But she was still worried that her son would leave again and wished that he could stay at home forever.
She thought it would be better if her son could marry a woman in China. Only with such a bond of marriage would she be assured that he wouldn’t leave again.
Nevertheless, Sampson rejected this so much, so she didn’t dare to push him hard, “All right. I won’t bother you.”
She then walked towards the door with the handbag in her hand. She paused at the door and turned around to steal a glance at Loredana who was sitting on the sofa.
Sampson was cleaning her wounds carefully with his head drooped, yet the unspeakable emotions in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
He has been blaming himself for the missing of Maria for all those years. But now he suddenly came back…
Camilla fixated her gaze on Loredana’ face for two seconds. Sampson’s back to China must have something to do with this girl.
She took a deep breath. She hadn’t seen this girl among the debutantes.
Loredana seemed to perceive her searching gaze and turned around, her gaze met with Camilla’s. She curled her lips into a smile, “Madam.”
Loredana could tell from the conversation between Camilla and Sampson that Camilla was Sampson’s mother.
Camilla nodded slightly to reply to Loredana’ greeting, turned around and walked out of the door.
Loredana lowered her head to look at Sampson who was cleaning the bloodstains on her wounds,
“Sampson, I haven’t expected that you’re rich.”
Sampson’s hand froze in the air. Money couldn’t make him happy.
Loredana opened and shut her mouth, unspeaking. She couldn’t utter the question – ‘Is Maria your mom mentioned just now your girlfriend?’
But Sampson seemed not to want others to mention this subject.
So she didn’t ask the question.
Sampson lifted his head and found the print of five fingers on her face. He furrowed his brows and asked with pity, “Who planned this?”
Loredana had no idea about it, but she guessed it might be Helen as she was the biggest threat to that woman. Helen was afraid of her being intimate with Cormac.
“I have no proof.” This was just her assumption and couldn’t be deemed as the final answer.
Sampson reached out, intending to stoke her face, but Loredana subconsciously dodged backwards.
Having not touched her face, Sampson felt a bit disappointed inwardly, but he pretended to be annoyed on the surface, “What? Can’t I touch your face?”
Loredana didn’t mean to dodge his touch, it was just that she subconsciously disliked the touch from the males.
Sampson smoothed her hair, “Lora, you felt shy just now.” Then his face darkened, “The wounds on your knees…”
Although her bones didn’t get hurt, the superficial wounds were quite serious.
“Try to bear it.” He was cleaning the wounds just now, and now they needed to be bandaged. She would feel pain when he applied the medicines to them.
Loredana nodded. When Sampson was cleaning her wounds, it felt quite painful, but she just gritted her teeth to endure the sharp pain because she had known earlier that for some kinds of pain, no one could replace her to endure it.
No one would feel pity for her!
She could only let herself be stoic!
“Okay.” She curled her lips into a straight line.
Sampson glanced at her for two seconds and tried to amuse her, “If you can’t bear it, you can bite my arm.”
Loredana smiled cooperatively, but she felt a heavy stone in her heart. Since Helen’s plan was foiled this time, she was wondering whether Helen would have other plans thereafter.
Loredana found herself possessing nothing all of a sudden.
How could she fight against Helen?
Sampson was applying medicines on her wounds with his head drooped, so he didn’t notice her weird expression. Fearing that she might feel pain, he tried to distract her by talking to her, “Don’t worry, this medicine won’t affect the baby in your belly.”
Loredana nodded.
Sampson was really thoughtful.
She stroked her belly. This child might be the greatest comfort for her for the time being.
The baby was safe.
She felt no bellyache and didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Her baby was brave and strong.
“Have a rest here tonight.” After bandaging her wounds, Sampson lifted his head and found sweats on her forehead, “Tell me when you need my help. We are close friends like brother and sister after all.”
Loredana nodded. Her major concern now was to find out whether the things that happened tonight was planned by Helen White.
Now that she was also working in the company and her working position was quite close to Helen’s, it was convenient for her to investigate this.
Sampson stood to his feet, walked into the washroom and then brought over a basin of water for wiping away her sweats and the cold compress on her face.
“Who had you offended?” Sampson asked. Judging from her swollen face, the person she had offended was really cruel.
Loredana pondered for a while before replying, “I don’t have any proof. But I guess it should be Helen
White, Cormac’s girlfriend. She seems to be holding grudges and resentments against me because
I’ve married Cormac.”
Sampson felt upset when he thought of Loredana’ marriage with Cormac. Luckily, they would divorce one month later. “Let me take care of you in the future.”
When Loredana divorced Cormac, he would confess his feelings to her.
He would take care of her in the future and would not let her get hurt anymore.
Loredana didn’t hear it clearly and replied blandly with a nasal sound.
She didn’t come back and stayed in the villa for the whole night, for, on the one hand, she was unfamiliar with this region, on the other hand, she had experienced that thrilling thing today.
She got up early in the morning as she was quite restless during sleep.
Sampson was so considerate that he bought her new clothes, as the clothes she wore yesterday were ragged.
“It’s a dress. Your legs get hurt, and it’s unsuitable for you to wear pants.” Sampson handed her the dress.
If she wore a pair of pants, it would graze against her wounds.
The dress was long enough to cover her knees.
Except for her mother, Sampson was the one who treated her best. But she felt stressed in the face of such kindness, for she didn’t know how to repay it.
“Can you not be so good to me?” She asked in a husky voice.
Sampson smiled with studied casualness, “Silly girl, we are good friends like brother and sister. Isn’t it my duty to take care of you? Don’t be so polite to me.”
After finishing the words, he reached out to stroke her nose, “You’re going to be a mother, yet are you still going to cry in front of me?”
Loredana sniffed, smiled at him and walked into the room with the dress in her hands. She then took off the bathrobe and changed into the dress.
After breakfast, Sampson sent her back.
“Go to Golden Bay.” Since there was still time left, she had to come back to her parents’ house. With the rights to develop the Repulse Bay, which was given by Cormac, she would have a chip to negotiate with Garrett.
She had to get those things back. Only with money could she fight against those who wanted to set her up.
Although the amount of the money was not that much, at least it could solve her most urgent problem.
What’s more, she had borrowed money from Sampson. Although he told her not to return the money, she was determined to repay the debt.
Sampson made a U-turn and the car was now heading towards Golden Bay.
The car soon came to a halt.
Loredana got out of the car. Although she could still walk, she could feel the sharp pain in her knees when she took every step. She withstood the pain and walked towards the courtyard.
