Chapter 1242
"But..." Harold wanted to speak up, but he was interrupted by Melody.
"I don't want to hear so many excuses. I just hope that we can respect my sister's opinion.” The
Winters brothers’ expressions froze at the same time. They looked at each other, and they relented in
unison after they saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Alden was the first to leave. Harold looked at the others before helplessly shaking his head and
leaving.
George looked at Ninian's pale face, and he wanted to say something, but he did not speak in the end.
He just stroked her head to comfort her before he immediately left.
Melody sighed in relief. When she raised her head, she saw Ninian's happy and grateful gaze.
"Have a nice chat." Melody sighed before she walked out.
Duncan naturally did not object. He silently walked out of the room and closed the door for them.
The noisy environment instantly became silent.
Ninian and Everett stood still without making any move.
Ninian stared at Everett's face deeply, as if she was making sure if this was real.
She had countless nightmares of dreaming of him falling from the high building, disappearing from her
life forever. Whenever she recalled the scene, she felt heartbroken. Her throat would even turn sore
when breathing, and she was unable to speak.
At this time, when she looked at him in person, she even felt as if she was on Cloud Nine, and she
found it surreal.
"E... Everett..."
It was extremely difficult for her to speak, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
But the young man whose eyes turned red held her in his arms in the next second. He put so much
strength into his embrace, as if he wanted to embed her into his own body and become one with her.
A voice inside his body was shouting that he must not let her leave.
He wanted to imprison her. He wanted to ground her. He could not wait to eat her and swallow her into
his stomach. His possessiveness toward her was so intense that even he felt frightened.
But the little girl in his arms did not fear him at all. Instead, she tightly hugged his waist, as if she
wanted to express all her love to him. She was crying. Her tears burst out, making the shirt on his chest
wet.
From her hidden cries, he could clearly feel her fear in her heart, as well as joy and fear of losing and
regaining.
In an instant, Everett no longer had any thoughts. He just felt miserable.
He raised his hand and clenched her chin before he kissed her deeply, as if he wanted to express all
his complicated emotions to her enthusiastically.
This was the first time that they were so enthusiastic and affectionate. After some time, Ninian leaned
in his arms softly. She did not even have the strength to stand firm.
Everett hugged her and sat on the bed. He held her in his arms while he slowly kissed her tears away.
He finally became rational. He looked at the girl whose eyes were red and swollen, and he softly said,
"Open your mouth. Let me see your throat."
Ninian obediently opened her mouth without resisting at all.
"It's red and swollen.” Everett felt extremely sorry for her. "Did the doctor prescribe any medication for
you? Other than your throat, are there any other injuries?”
Everett did not suspect any other possibilities. He just kissed her forehead heartily. "You're going
abroad for a retreat, right?” He asked.
Ninian nodded. As if she thought of something, her expression looked rather anxious. She made hand
gestures to express herself. ‘Wait for me, I will be back very soon.’
Everett did not know what her hand gestures meant, but he could understand what she meant.
He asked, "Are you telling me that you'll just go abroad for the time being, and you'll come back to me
very soon?"
