"Who are you? I hope you're not a bad guy." As Leana spoke, she subconsciously protected Cecilia behind her, as if Hendrix was a nasty guy. Both Hendrix and Nicholas were taken aback. They merely wanted to help, but they had no idea that the other person had already misinterpreted their enthusiasm as having malicious intentions.
"Of course we're not awful people. We're here to study," Nicholas explained calmly.
"Bad guys don't declare themselves as awful people on their faces. To be honest, we two sisters have been through so much that we don't believe there are any good men in the world." Leana purposefully fixed her gaze on them, implying that they wouldn't trust strangers so easily.
"If that's the case, then forget it." Hendrix had not anticipated such an outcome. He assumed that by being kind, he would get the approval of the other party.
Nicholas, on the other hand, frowned.
Cecilia, who was standing next to her, naturally saw the expression on Nicholas's expression. Her face was still terrified, but she had an uncontrollable desire to laugh. "How many kindnesses does this man have?" "Sister, I'm afraid." Cecilia shivered and grabbed her sister's arm. "Don't be afraid. I will protect you." Leana quickly comforted her.
Nicholas dipped into his pockets and handed Leana his own identification card. "You can remember my identity card if you think we're bad people. We simply wish to help you. We are both from the same country. It's normal for us to help one another while we're traveling abroad."
"Ling... Nicholas?" Leana read out his name, and her face took on a weird expression. "Have I come across this name before?"
Hendrix's expression changed and he said with a smile, "In this world, there are many people with the same name. My brother just came here to study. If you really treat us as bad people, we really can't help you."
"Sister, I feel that they shouldn't be bad people." Cecilia's distant voice rang out softly. The meaning behind her words was to give Leana an order for her to accept Nicholas's help.
"You talk too much. You're so gullible and easy to deceive. What are your plans for the future? There are a lot of nasty men in the world, and you can't always trust people." Even though Leana had received her directive, she still had to speak a few things to keep the two persons in front of her from being suspicious of her.
Cecilia shrank her shoulders again and hid behind Leana, showing her uneasiness.
Leana let out a long sigh. "You two, I don't think you're bad guys either. Actually, I don't think you're telling the truth. My sister is young and can't see clearly. I don't dare to be careless. Since you're also going to the city, please send us off. I'm very grateful for it."
"Let's go." Nicholas didn't say anything else after they had finally agreed.
Hendrix helped to carry a suitcase, and a group of four people exited the airport.
There were three cars parked outside. Nicholas and Hendrix sat in the middle, while Cecilia and Leana were seated in the back car. Cecilia grinned as soon as she got in the car. Leana's cheeks were flushed with fear. She wasn't sure if her actions had made her supervisor unhappy, but she thought she had performed admirably.
Three cars were driving in the direction of the city.
As soon as Hendrix got in the car, he repressed his laughter and looked at Nicholas.
Nicholas felt a little uneasy under his gaze and immediately rolled his eyes at him. "Have you had your fill?"
"Not yet. Hey, Master Ling, are you in love? But this is not right. You've passed up on so many attractive women, yet you're fascinated by a blind girl. What kind of pastime do you have?"
"Shut up." Nicholas couldn't stop himself from reprimanding him. "I'm not interested in the least." All I can say is that I sympathize with them."
"I understand. You were born to be
kind, and they're from our country as well. If you inherit it in the future, you'll undoubtedly be a great leader with the whole world in your heart." Hendrix admired Nicholas very much. He had a good heart and, like his father, was deserving of everyone's admiration.
Nicholas frowned. ""I'm curious as to how her eyes became blind."
"Are you considering treating her eyes? Then you are being too meddlesome. Don't be afraid. If her eyes are cured and she falls in love with you, how can you get rid of her?" Hendrix felt that he had gone too far, so he needed to remind him.
"You think too much. I just feel like I should help since I've the ability to do so. It's so pitiful for a young woman to be blind," Nicholas said lightly.
"I know. She must be very pitiful. Her
situation will be better if she's in the country, but she can't speak English when she is. abroad. Her sister
would have to leave her at homeet
alonex while she went to work. Being in a foreign country is not as safe as being in our country. If she s targeted by criminals, she would be in grave danger." Hendrix couldn't help but be concerned about the sisters.
"Did they just say they haven't been able to find a place to live?" Nicholas asked casually.
"Yes, I believe so. They're looking for it, according to what I've heard. They even stated that they are unsure of where they will sleep tonight." Hendrix nodded.
"Then go and arrange it. They can live in the neighborhood we rented if they want to." Nicholas paused for a moment before responding.
"The place we live now belongs to the high-end district. How will they be able to rent it?" Hendrix said disapprovingly.
"For the time being, I'll lend it to them. I'm not going to charge them."
"They thought we had a purpose."
"What purpose can I have..." Nicholas's attractive face became uglier as his eyes darkened.
"Of course you don't have a purpose," Hendrix answered, forcing a smile. But I don't have one, and you don't either."
Nicholas rolled his eyes at him and didn't want to talk to him any longer.
Hendrix was ignored, so he had no choice but to cease talking about such a difficult subject. He was still concerned, though. Nicholas, who was such
an excellent man, should not make a blunder in his love life. He was meant to be the next in line for this position.
Just as the car drove to a mountain road, suddenly, a pick-up truck rushed over and hit the pick-up truck in front of them. Nicholas' car came to a complete stop in time, and everyone in the car became serious.
"This is bad, someone is already on their way to kill us." Hendrix gave a bitter smile.
"Cut the nonsense. Take the gun. Don't get hurt." Nicholas was not surprised at all.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Hendrix stared out the window without saying anything more. Suddenly, five or six tall men jumped out of the truck. They didn't have guns on them, but they were massive. They were obviously on their way to teach someone a lesson.
"They don't seem to have guns," Hendrix whispered.
"Then let's use force to solve it. Although this country has the right to carry firearms, they won't easily. engage in a gunfight. After all, we are high-ranking individuals. It will be difficult for them to explain it if we die here." Nicholas tidied his collar. He was confident if he had to rely just on force.
