“No, I’ll take Kyla home.” Martin Weiss stepped between Chase Harper and Kyla.
Martin Weiss had always been imposing. Now, he was even exuding a threatening aura as if he was silently blocking Chase Harper from Kyla.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Kyla quickly said to Chase Harper, “Chase, take Juliet home first. Mr. Weiss will take me home.”
Chase Harper hesitated a little. “Okay, be safe… then.”
“Sure,” answered Kyla.
Chase Harper finished the formalities at the police station and left with his daughter. Martin Weiss stared at Kyla.
“You call me Mr. Weiss but call him Chase?”
One could tell whether they were familiar from that.
Kyla looked at Martin Weiss somewhat speechlessly, “Should I call you Lil Ye?”
Martin Weiss’s face darkened as he pursed his lips in silence. Compared to Lil Ye, it seemed that… Mr. Weiss sounded better.
“Hungry? Do you want something to eat?” he asked after checking the time.
Kyla said, “No thanks, I’m going back to the store. Thank you for helping us find Juliet today. I gotta go.”
However, before she could take a step, Martin Weiss grabbed her by the hand. “What’s the matter? You were willing to get into my car when you needed my help. And now that you don’t, you won’t get into my car anymore?”
“That’s not it…”
However, before she could finish, he had taken her hand and walked out of the police station. They went to his car and he opened the door to the passenger seat.
Kyla knew what Martin Weiss meant.
He was insisting on taking her home today. Thinking that he had helped them find Juliet, Kyla pressed her lips together and got in the car.
Martin Weiss drove toward Kyla’s store.
On the way there, Martin Weiss said, “I don’t see any need for Nelson to learn taekwondo. No matter how much he learns, it’s just a way to help him keep fit. Taekwondo is of little use for when he’s in trouble.”
Kyla thought of what his son had said before. “So what combat practice did you take him to see that day?”
“To be precise, what he saw was Sanda with a few tweaks. If he wants to learn martial arts, it would be better if he learns that. It would also be enough for him to protect himself,” said Martin Weiss.
She was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll ask Nelson. If he’s willing to learn, I won’t object.”
Martin Weiss smiled at that. “That’s great.”
The car was quiet again.
Suddenly, Kyla quivered slightly. She pressed the area where her liver was with one hand, only feeling a dull ache.
Since her liver transplant, she would go for a check-up every six months. Although the results were good, the area around her liver would still ache dully sometimes.
Kyla gritted her teeth slightly, planning to swallow the pain.
“What’s the matter? Are you okay?” Even though she tried to keep calm, Martin Weiss noticed something wrong with her and pulled over to the roadside.
“Nothing, I’m only feeling a little uncomfortable. I’ll be alright in a minute,” said Kyla.
His eyes fell on the place where her hand was, and he frowned. “What is it? Is the area where your liver is aching?
When did the pain start? Is the pain severe?”
“It’s alright… It only hurts a little. You can continue driving. I want to quickly go home,” said Kyla.
Martin Weiss paled and started the car again.
However, when the car stopped again, Kyla realized that Martin Weiss had not driven to the entrance of her store.
Instead, he parked at the hospital’s entrance.
“I don’t need to come to the hospital. I just…” Before Kyla could finish, Martin Weiss had already carried Kyla out of the car and was hurrying toward the emergency room. Then, he anxiously asked for a doctor to examine her.
Martin Weiss even made a call to pull some strings and had the hospital’s liver specialist come to the emergency room to examine her. He made it seem like Kyla was in critical condition.
Once the doctors gave her a series of tests, they said Kyla’s pain was normal. It would occasionally occur after undergoing liver transplantation. There was no cure for the pain, and it could only be relieved by medicine.
The pain would also disappear with time.
After getting the results, Martin Weiss did not feel embarrassed for making such a fuss. Instead, he was relieved.
“Do you have any medicine for the pain at home?” asked Martin Weiss.
“Yes, but I don’t have it with me today,” said Kyla.
“Does it happen often?”
“Not really.”
Martin Weiss raised his hand and gently pressed against where Kyla’s liver was. Kyla stiffened, wanting to put some distance between them. However, the problem was that she was in a makeshift bed in the emergency room. There was no place for her to retreat.
Martin Weiss seemed glad as he said, “It’s a good thing your body didn’t reject my liver. Sometimes, I even wonder if this is what I live for.”
He was only living so that a part of his body could extend her life.
Kyla frowned. “Martin Weiss, what on earth do you want?”
“Don’t you know what I want?” Martin Weiss stared at the person in front of him. “Kyla, your bone marrow saved my life back then, and my liver is also a part of your body now. We share the same blood. There’s no way we can separate ourselves from each other!”
She trembled a little when she saw him lean forward slightly, his cold face drawing closer and closer to her.
However, instead of his usual indifference, his face exuded imploration.
“Kyla, your body isn’t rejecting my liver, so can you… not reject me so strongly as well? Maybe we can have another chance.”
He wanted to be by her side for the rest of her life.
“It’s impossible between us. Martin Weiss, having nothing to do with each other is the best scenario for us!” said Kyla.
Martin Weiss’s face suddenly paled.
Just then, Kyla’s phone rang. She quickly took out her phone. It was a call from her mother.
“Kyla, why aren’t you home yet? Did you find Juliet?” Mrs. Corbyn’s voice rang anxiously.
“Ah, yes. Someone found the child and took her to the police station. Chase has picked up Juliet, and I’m on my way home. now,” Kyla replied quickly.
