Chapter 42 Dumpling on the move (2/2)

Lexi and Ethan unconsciously stared with each other before wordlessly leaving the car. After all, they couldn't share with a limited space alone for a long time.

Neither of them talked as Ethan Lu walked her in front of her home. When they reached the Yang family's doorstep Lexi meekly smiled.

”Uhh, right -- phone.” Lexi was reminded that Ethan needed to call his assistant thus, she fiddled inside her handbag and found easily found it. However, her phone died out without any justice.

'God, why did I forgot to charge my phone?' She grumbled inwardly. Raising her eyebrows and shifted her awkward gaze back to Ethan's inexpressive front, she uttered with hesitation.

”Hmm, why don't you get inside first? My phone died.”

However, her brows creased together having a clearer sight of Ethan's pale face and see him unobviously winced in pain. Taking a step forward, Lexi inquired, ”What's wrong?”

”Uh, nothi--” Alas, even before he could finish his sentence, a striking pain struck his ribs which caused him to bow a little.

Instinctively, Lexi hastily stepped few steps forward to catch him. To her surprise, Ethan's back was drenched with sweat and shoulders were slightly trembling.

”God, it is not nothing! We'll send you to the hospital!” Her voice raised as she felt her heart pound from nervousness. She didn't understand why but for some reason, Lexi panicked.

However, hearing the word hospital, Ethan gripped at her much tighter than he should. ”No, no, no… no hospital… please,” He muttered through his gritted teeth.

By the next second, the front door was opened and revealed a maid of the Yang family. The maid was slightly taken aback seeing the young miss assisting a dashing man.

”Don't just stand there, help me!” Lexi aggressively shouted which snapped the young maid back to reality.

”Y-yes, young miss!”

With that, the maid and Lexi assisted Ethan Lu inside the Yang manor. Yet, Ethan's grip on the hem of her dress as if he was afraid of something, Lexi was slightly felt guilty.

”It's alright… We'll call a doctor instead, alright?” She reassured him rather gentler as if she was coaxing a kid.

Churu on the side smiled brightly. The gamble she took earlier seemed to progress quite well. However, before she could even fly towards Lexi, a great force sucked her and she was thrown outside the Yang Mansion.
