Nicholas shook as the woman in his arms stared at him. Her eyes were as clear as the rippling water at the bottom of a lake.
If it weren't for the fact that she was blind, Nicholas would have thought that her eyes were perfectly fine.
The eyes of blind people were usually dull and vacant, like an ancient pond.
Cecilia panicked. She let out a faint cry just as the elevator doors were about to open.
"Oh my god, my stomach..." "What's wrong?"
Nicholas's eyes were slightly stunned, and he asked with concern.
"I don't know either. It might be that... My stomach hurts."
Cecilia made the most ridiculous excuse possible by reaching out to cover her lower abdomen.
Nicholas was surprised for three seconds before realizing that a woman's period causes stomach pain.
"Does it hurt badly?"
Nicholas noticed that she was frowning and sighing in discomfort. He thought that it was very serious.
"Yes, Mr. Ling, could you please help me buy some sanitary products?"
Cecilia blushed and asked softly.
Nicholas's handsome face turned bright red. To be honest, he had previously purchased similar items. Sometimes, his mother and sister would call him to buy it if they forgot.
But for some reason, he felt that it was normal for him to help his sister and mother carry this kind of thing.
But when he knew that the woman in his arms was going to use it, he felt shy.
"If it's not convenient, I'll go by myself..." "It doesn't matter, I'll go myself."
Nicholas placed her gently on the ground and took a glance around. "There's a supermarket 50 meters to the left. I'm going to buy it. Wait for me here."
"Okay."
Cecilia looked obedient.
Nicholas was a little worried and looked back at her again and again.
Cecilia's gaze was calm. There was a flare of light in her eyes after the man left.
"D*mn Nicholas, where did your heart come from? How dare you treat my eyes?"
Cecilia was angry because her plan had been disturbed, but the man's serious attitude a moment ago did not appear to be joking.
Nicholas was a thoughtful and quick-witted man. He became more dangerous the more she got to know him. If it had been a lady who had no resistance against attractive men, she would have drowned in his profound love and kind care.
When Nicholas entered the supermarket, Cecilia suddenly reached out and pulled her long hair. Her gorgeous hair hid her tiny face, and she turned and walked into the tunnel next to her.
She was never going to see a doctor. She also had to change her address right away because she couldn't live with Nicholas anymore. Nicholas would absolutely look into her if he found out she was pretending to be blind.
Even if her resume was blank, Nicholas would still be wary of her.
After Nicholas bought the bill, he came out with a bag of female products and saw that Cecilia's position was empty.
"Miss Xia..." Nicholas' heart skipped a beat as he dashed over.
Nicholas panicked and frantically searched the surroundings. He didn't see anyone, so he dialed Cecilia's number. There was a loud noise, but no one responded.
Nicholas was furious. He was well aware that she was blind, yet how could he leave her alone?
Is it possible that she was kidnapped by the homeless people nearby?
That was because a large number of refugees had swarmed into the country. Not far from here, there is a refugee camp. That area was a shambles, especially women, who are considered as scarce resources.
Nicholas immediately called Hendrix. "Bring some people here. Miss Xia is missing."
Nicholas quickly turned around and went towards the refugees. Many impoverished children were begging along the path. Nicholas handed over all of his change and asked about Cecilia's whereabouts.
Some of the children shook their heads and stated that they had never seen such a beautiful lady.
Nicholas still couldn't feel at ease. He continued walking forward.
Cecilia had quietly changed into a white cloak, hiding most of her face, at a nearby building. Only a pair of beautiful eyes were visible, staring at Nicholas, who was anxiously looking for someone downstairs.
Cecilia frowned and reached into her pocket for a gun.
In this country, guns were allowed.
Cecilia clasped her hands together. A tall man hurriedly walked forward on a narrow path not far away. He passed the change in his palm to the child next to him and stooped down to speak with him as he went, He assisted one of the children who had been squashed by a piece of wood.
"Nicholas, you're a nice man, but unfortunately... we're sworn enemies."
As Cecilia spoke, she aimed the gun at Nicholas's back.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Nicholas was heading forward when he was abruptly confronted by two men in black who had crept over from the other two paths.
Both males reached their hands into
their waistbands. Cecilia's lovely eyes narrowed as she noticed the two men pulling out their firearms at the same time. Cecilia quickly shifted her gun away from Nicholas and fired two shots in a row.
Nicholas was looking for someone to ask when he suddenly heard a gunshot. The crowd was shocked and ran around.
Nicholas was pushed away by several people, but he didn't run away with the crowd. On the contrary, he ran in the direction of the gunshot. "Idiot... shouldn't you be running for your life."
Cecilia was also about to leave when she saw Nicholas running in the direction of the gunshot. She looked anxious and scolded him in her heart. Did this man really think that he had nine lives?
Cecilia gazed down from a high point of view. The gunshots drew a swarm of black figures into this direction.
"D*mn it..." Cecilia cursed angrily, and her petite figure quickly jumped down from the roof.
She dashed quickly in the direction of Nicholas.
Nicholas passed through the crowd and came to the injured man. The man had been shot in the heart and died as a result. The gun he was holding slid to the side.
Nicholas's eyes widened. It seemed that this was a killer. Who was the murderer planning to murder?
Nicholas was about to check when he heard a woman shouting for help from not far away. "Help, who's coming to save me? I'm so scared."
"Miss Xia."
Nicholas's handsome face lit up with delight when he heard this voice. He dashed in that direction and discovered Cecilia curled up in a corner, her clothes in disarray. Her hands were gripping her tattered collar in a pathetic manner.
Nicholas' heart almost stopped beating when he saw this scene. He hurriedly removed his coat and wrapped it around Cecilia.
"Miss Xia, it's all right. Why are you here?"
Nicholas blamed himself very much.
"I was carried here by someone.
There are a few men present, and I'm not sure what they were saying Mr. Ling, they intended to bully me. Fortunately, you've arrived. Let's go. I heard gunshots, and those men were scared away by the gunshots."
Cecilia said in a panic.
"It's okay. I'll take you away."
Nicholas knelt down, took her in his arms, and dashed towards the car.
Cecilia looked at the man's determined chin and couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Fool."
