Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 501 - 497 I Am Your Left Hand (I)
"I know, I’ll never do it again." She hurriedly promised him, "Please don’t be angry anymore, okay?"
"Hmm." He curved his lips slightly, honestly, he really couldn’t bear to be harsh with her.
She quietly stayed by his bedside, and he reached out his right hand, gently stroking her soft hair.
...
Two weeks later, the bandage on Asher Land’s left arm was finally ready to be removed.
In the East Garden’s hall, some people had gathered, including Oscar Land, Luke Land, Irene Morton, and a large group of medical staff.
"Third Young Master, please try, see if you can pick up this glass." A doctor wearing black-framed glasses said beside him.
Pick up a glass?
Everyone’s gaze fell on his hand, except for him, calmly staring at that glass.
His left hand truly had no feeling. Did he really have to display his crippled left hand in front of so many people?
He turned to look at the little woman’s hopeful eyes; he really didn’t want to let her down.
"Asher, give it a try, you can do it..." She whispered softly beside him.
He couldn’t, he really couldn’t.
He smiled with a hint of helplessness, then slowly reached out to grasp the glass, taking a deep breath and preparing to lift it...
A crisp sound was heard as the glass fell to the ground the moment he raised his hand, landing by his feet.
Sophie Smith’s heart sank heavily with that sound.
Asher Land saw the despair in her eyes; his hand froze in mid-air, and the hall’s atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"Asher, the rehabilitation takes some time, don’t be discouraged. Work with the doctor’s treatment." Oscar Land said steadily from the side.
"Yeah, Brother Asher, things will get better, trust in modern medical technology." Irene Morton also comforted.
"I’m okay, you don’t need to worry." After a long silence, Asher Land stood up and spoke.
He bypassed the crowd and walked upstairs with large strides.
Sophie Smith didn’t hesitate, closely following him, and Irene Morton wanted to go upstairs too, but was stopped by Luke Land.
"Irene, you’ve gone too far this time!" Luke Land blocked her path, his expression unpleasant.
"What do you mean I’ve gone too far?" Irene Morton sneered, "Weren’t all those ideas yours?"
Even though she now realized that Asher Land’s crippled left hand had something to do with her, if she hadn’t wanted to stage a ’caught-in-the-act’ scenario, Nathan Land wouldn’t have seen that scene and punished Asher Land, yet in front of Luke Land, she couldn’t lose her composure.
"Did I ask you to frame me and Sophie Smith?"
He thought, by getting Irene Morton and Asher Land into bed, Nathan Land would relax his oppression and vigilance towards Asher Land, but who knew this damned girl would scheme against him and stage such a drama.
"Anyway, Second Brother, this matter still involves you. If you hadn’t prompted me, would I have done it?" Irene Morton remained self-righteous, "So, don’t think of disclosing my faults in front of Brother Asher. To be blunt, you’re my accomplice. What right do you have to blame me?"
"You!"
Luke Land was incredibly furious, yet he had no choice but to restrain himself.
"Can’t tell, huh? You’re quite scheming. Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll make sure Third Brother is cautious of a vicious woman like you!" Luke Land said through gritted teeth.
"Go ahead." Irene Morton finished speaking and strode upstairs without looking back.
