Chapter 65 An Accident (1/2)
”Courtney went missing inside your restaurant. If you can't find her, you shall be hold responsible for this...” Amelia couldn't finish her words as she suddenly felt her strength cut loose and her body collapsed on the ground. She couldn't push herself up as she was already too weak to even voice out another word.
In front of her, the man was unperturbed hearing her lash out against him. He walked closer and crouched just an arm's length away from where she laid, the expression in his eyes showed a complicated gaze. He stretched his hand touching the tips of her hair and gently flipped it behind her shoulders. He then spoke, ”Don't worry Miss Amelia. I will take care of it and will take the responsibility.”
”What are you doing?” Amelia shouted as she was caught in surprise by the man's actions. She felt angry and furiously shook off his hand sending back a glare.
She was currently feeling an immense pain in her body, and it certainly pressured her remaining strength to fight back as she was instantly driven by annoyance. She would never allow anyone to touch her even in such a dire situation.

Hearing the confirmation that Courtney was already safe, she finally felt relieved. She looked back at the strange man and hesitated to accept his help. She still acted stubborn and tried to get up, but fell in deep trouble. She found that she couldn't move an inch. She kept her stubbornness as she didn't want to be supported by the man but she knew that this was not the time to keep up with such attitude as she still needed to get down the stairs.
She had no other choice but to accept the man's help as she was supported to stand up and was led through the way.

”Yes, I do,” she replied in a low voice. She knew she made a mistake. As soon as she realized that she had made a mistake, she hurriedly apologized, ”I'm sorry. Because there was something wrong between Courtney and Kent, I accompanied her...”
