Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Myra was full of questions.
This girl was known to be good at fighting, why did she give in so easily? Did she know that these thugs were tough, or was she trying to lure her brother? Did she think her beauty could get her into the Cooper family?!
Ha, what a pipe dream!
Mirabella walked into the field, the grass reaching up to her knees. She turned to Harry and said, “This is fine.”
Harry hadn’t expected this woman to choose a location. This spot was perfect to block the view of others. She really was shy.
“Just you?” Mirabella raised an eyebrow, looking at the dozen or so henchmen behind him, “Aren’t the others joining?”
How could he possibly let his underlings enjoy such a beautiful girl?
Just as Harry was about to lay a hand on Mirabella, she quickly caught his hand and before he could react, he was thrown into the bushes, getting a mouthful of dirt!
“Damn it.” Myra knew she was a tough girl, “What are you guys waiting for? Go and help!”
This girl was really annoying, daring to lay a hand on her precious brother? Harry was the family’s treasure!
The dozen or so thugs rushed at Mirabella, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes She kicked one of the men flying, then swiftly punched another in the stomach.
A stick was swung at her from the air, Mirabella grabbed the man’s wrist and hit him over the head with his own stick, then kicked him away.
The remaining thugs surrounded her. They attacked at once, Mirabella used one of them as a human shield, then picked off the others one by one. A thug pulled out a knife to slash at Mirabella, but she not only dodged swiftly, but also held the knife against his throat, scaring him witless.
Myra watched in shock as Mirabella took down each man, one after the other. The last man was trembling from head to toe, hands up in surrender.
He even knocked himself out with his own stick and collapsed in the bushes.
Mirabella then turned to Myra.
Myra was scared stiff, and now she was alone!!
“Harry, Harry!” Myra called a few times, but her precious brother didn’t emerge from the bushes. She was scared, unable to comprehend how there could be such a person in this world!
She looked gentle, but she fought like a devil. How scary! Despite her brother still hiding in the bushes, Myra ran for the car, started it up, and took off! Mirabella’s gaze fell on the dozen people groaning in agony in the bushes, then shifted to the distant street. Romeo’s car was on its way.
“Be quiet.” At her command, the dozen people clamped their mouths shut, no matter how much they hurt, they dare not make a sound. Harry was so scared his body was trembling.
He had already sampled Mirabella’s violence. She looked so delicate and frail, but when it came to a brawl, she was stronger than most men…
How scary!
Mirabella walked to the side of the road, Romeo’s car pulled up just in time. He got out, walked over to Mirabella and opened the car door for her, “Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.”
Mirabella hopped into the passenger seat, “You didn’t have to come and get me.”
“I missed you.” Romeo bent down to fasten her seatbelt. |
Mirabella studied his handsome face. This close, she could clearly see Romeo’s straight nose, smooth skin….
“I’m not a kid.”
After fastening her seatbelt, Romeo looked up and doted on her, “No matter how old you are, you’ll always be a kid to me.” I’ll always spoil you. Mirabella’s cheeks grew warm.
As Romeo was about to close the passenger door and get into the driver’s seat, he noticed two empty cars nearby with their doors still open.
He looked around but didn’t see anyone else, so he didn’t pay much mind. Once inside the car, he turned to Mirabella, “What were you negotiating just now?”
“Outsourcing.” Mirabella glanced at the rearview mirror. Not one of the group had crawled out from the bushes, probably because she hit them too hard, they couldn’t get up yet.
“In a few days, you can do some outsourcing for me too.”
Mirabella thought: What?
“I have a new company that won’t draw attention.”
As Romeo drove, he asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll take you to grab a bite first.”
Mirabella checked the time, it was almost noon, so she agreed!
Once in the restaurant’s private room.
Romeo took Mirabella’s hand only to find it damp!
He looked down and saw that her right hand was injured, with two bloody scratches!!
“You got injured? When did you get injured?”
Romeo hadn’t looked carefully when he took her hand, he must have touched her wound!
He felt guilty for his carelessness, “Did I hurt you just now?”
Even though he touched her wound, she didn’t cry out in pain, she bore it…
Mirabella didn’t even know when she got injured. She glanced at the wound and said lightly, “I’m fine.”
The wound didn’t hurt, she probably got it when she was fighting.
Maybe the men’s clothes had zippers or accessories that accidentally scratched her..
She couldn’t remember the exact reason.
Romeo called for the restaurant manager to bring a first aid kit.
The manager was startled, thinking that the girl Romeo brought had been injured in his restaurant. He started apologizing as soon as he entered…
He even promised to replace all the items in the room, to ensure that nothing could potentially cause harm…
Mirabella couldn’t help but laugh at his terrified look, “This has nothing to do with you, you may leave now.”
Upon hearing this, the manager seemed to have been given a reprieve, he bowed and thanked them profusely before rushing out.
“Where were you injured?” Romeo asked with concern, “How did you get hurt?”
“I forgot”
Mirabella really couldn’t remember.
She had been injured countless times and bled a lot in the triangular zone, but she never shed a tear or complained about the pain…
Compared to that, these two small cuts that were only two centimeters long felt like a light scratch, they didn’t hurt at all.
“Did someone bully you?” Romeo looked at her, his eyes filled with heartache and concern, “Who was it?”
*No one.” Mirabella reassured him, “I don’t even know when I got hurt, it’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”
Romeo looked down, hiding the rage in his eyes. He couldn’t bear to hurt Mirabella, how dare anyone else harm her!
He would definitely get to the bottom of this.
‘I’m going to apply some medicine, it might sting a bit…” Romeo’s movements were very gentle, “If it hurts, tell me, don’t bear it.”
Mirabella didn’t even cry out when she was stabbed in the past, she didn’t need to pay attention to these small cuts…
As Romeo gently disinfected and applied the medicine to her wound, he didn’t hear a single sound from her. He knew she was holding back to spare his feelings, and this made him even more determined to find the person who hurt her.
Mirabella watched as Romeo carefully wrapped the gauze around her hand, a bit speechless.
“That’s not necessary” She wanted to undo the gauze. It was too visible. She still had to work.
Having such a thick bandage on her hand would draw too much attention.
“When you’re injured, you need to bandage it up. Otherwise, it’ll get infected, heal slower, and leave a scar. What then?”
Mirabella was helpless.
“Does it still hurt?”
Mirabella didn’t feel any pain, but Romeo’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. He suddenly remembered the two empty cars by the side of the road earlier…
“It doesn’t hurt, you’re overreacting.” Mirabella didn’t care about the small injury, but she felt a warm feeling in her heart seeing how much Romeo cared for her.
