Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Add My Name

“I only know that Alex and his mother are my reverse scale, Amaya. I would not bear it if they would be harmed in any way.” his eyes gouged her every expression but Amaya did not have any reaction except longing.

“I will wait till you will add my name with them, Alric.” she whispered softly as she walked closer and placed her hand on his chest. “I have loved you since childhood. You have no one you love, so give me a chance!”

Alric closed his eyes. She was not wrong, she had been chosen by his family too. It would be a strategic marriage. Her family is the biggest pharmaceuticals in the country and he had a chain of hospitals. It is a good proposal overall. But he felt like insects were crawling on his skin when she was touching him. He pushed her away unconsciously.

She looked shocked by his reaction and her eyes dimmed.

“Amaya..” he hesitated but she lowered her head and sighed.

“I know you do not love me, Alric. Do not make it more awkward. As long as there is no one in your life, I am ready to wait for you. It has already been so long, I do not mind a few more years. But only I can match you, Alric. You would never be able to find someone else better than me.” she challenged and raised her head with confidence again. “Now go, I will look after him. You look so exhausted.”

Alric stared at sleeping Alex. he nodded and left the room.

Amaya stared at the door for a long time as if she was waiting for Alric to return. But when he did not, her eyes slowly dimmed. She walked to Alex and adjusted his blanket. Then she took out a book from her bag and sat on the sofa. Leaning, she read it while occasionally standing up and checking alex.

She smiled and whispered something to him as she patted him and then returned.

“…” Alric was staring at the screen as if he was waiting for something. But it had been two hours. Alex was still sleeping and Amaya was reading her books. Her expressions were serene with a sweet smile on her face as if she was taking care of her family.

“Yes, Miss Amayra was here in your room. She was drinking a coffee while standing near the window.” the secretary hesitates when he does not receive any reply, “i know that you prefer privacy, sir. But madam had personally called us and we could not refuse.” Alric nodded and waved his hand.

The man left hurriedly as if he had received an amnesty. Alric sighed and opened the file in front of him. But his mind was wandering.

Something was off about it. He was sure of it. But he had no reason to doubt Amayra. She had no interaction and reason to harm Alex.

He clicked on his computer and the scene on the screen changed.

A girl was sitting on the bed and chatting happily with Max. her face had a rare innocent smile and she laughed over something. The expressions were completely different from the time she had faced him.

He closed the computer and stood up abruptly. But after taking a few steps toward the door, he hesitated and turned toward his balcony.

He took out a cigarette and whiffed it. His eyes looked at the distance. No matter what he did, the stifling feeling inside did not go.

——-

“I think I have an affinity for you. It is deeply rooted in me. It must be fate, you know!” Nora modded with all seriousness, “what else could it be! See, I am injured again. And you are my doctor incharge. We are fated!” Mike sighed as he checked her wounds.

He did not know how to reply to this brazen girl.

“You know you can come to meet me without getting injured if you believe in that fate.” looking exasperated, he had the desire to scratch his nose. “You should take care of your body. The wound is just an inch away from your vital part. You could have..” he did not continue but his expression had changed again.

“I have goals to achieve Dr Sullivan. I will not die that easily.” she smiled, but for some reason, her reply only made the air thicken. “Anyways, do you have a girlfriend?”

Max’s hand on her waist paused. As if a jolt of electricity had hit him. He had touched so many bodies. He had seen naked women due to his profession too. But he had never felt nervous when it came to touching them or checking their wounds.

But this girl! He stared hard at her. Of course, she would feel conscious if he kept staring at her. They were a decade apart when it comes to age. How could she ask him like that! Or was he thinking too much into it? Because when he stared at her, she did not look nervous. As if she had only asked him if he had dinner.

“No! I do not have time for dating and all. I am concentrating on my career.” he replied stiffly. But he could not ignore the wave of relief on her face even if he wanted to. His ears turned red and he looked away.

“I have changed the bandages. You should rest now. We will discharge you tomorrow.” he stood up hastily to leave when she held his hand. His eyes widened and his head snapped with the speed of electricity. He stared at her and then her soft and small fingers holding his wrist.

“Can I stay for a bit longer?” she bit her lips as if she was searching for the right words. “Until Alex wakes up? Please.” he wanted to refuse, but her pleading eyes made him stutter for the first time.

“That.. your wound might get infection. It will not be bad to take some precautions. You can stay here for three more days then.”
