Redness spread all over her face, neck, and ears.
"Let go of me."
The man who hugged her was the one she loved for three years in her past life. It was not an accident, but he really hugged her. At this moment, Aleigha's feelings were complicated.
"Don't move, or my wound will open again." Adrian threatened, didn't loosen his arms at all.
"Don't you have mysophobia? If you don't like others touching you, why held a garbage woman like me?!" This was how Adrian used to define Aleigha.
She saved him from the fire. He lost consciousness, and she was burnt. She ignored the wound on her face, just for saving him out.
Once again, Emilia pretended it was she who saved Adrian. She even framed Aleigha as the murder who set the fire.
Aleigha's reputation was in tatters. No one believed her, and she was used to not explain.
Adrian didn't know the truth and treated Aleigha as a bad woman. She put on a mask, going to visit him carefully. Beside his bed, she wanted to fix the quilt for him.
Then he said, "Garbage, don't touch me."
Aleigha was painful as she had no way to defend for herself. She bore people's abuse until died.
Thinking of her previous life, Aleigha trembled hard. Due to not knowing any truth, Adrian usually harmed her by blame and insult.
"What's wrong with you?" Adrian noticed that Aleigha seemed to be very excited.
Her eyes were red as if she had been greatly wronged.
For no reason, he felt comfortable holding her and wanted to kiss her when seeing her lips.
No matter how much he disliked being touched by others, he had no repulsion for Aleigha.
"Shouldn't this woman feel honorable? Why she still treats me like an enemy?"
"Let me go, Mr. Xiao." Although Aleigha's eyes were red, she did not cry out. She was cold all over.
Adrian felt that she was full of mysteries. He didn't know why he would have such a special feeling about her. "Tell me, who are you?"
"I'm just a woman who wants to make use of you to achieve my goal."
He had seen too many pretending women, but he had never met any woman who cursed herself as garbage or being so honest to grab his money.
If she was really an awful woman, she couldn't be so frank.
Unless she aimed at something else. Thinking of this, Adrian's eyes got deeper and released her.
Aleigha moved away at once. "Here are some wild fruits I picked yesterday. Eat them if you're hungry."
"Why she was so far away from me? She's worried about being eaten by me?!" Adrian thought.
When a propeller sound rang through the sky, Aleigha knew that they were saved.
A well- dressed man entered the cave. "Young Master, I finally found you. Are you all right?"
"I got shot."
"What! I'll ask the medic team to check you right away."
"No need. Let's go home first. The wound has been processed."
Aleigha was surprised to hear so. "He believed me so much?" She thought.
"Okay, young master. Let's go home right now. This young lady is..." Marc asked while looking at Aleigha.
It was only then that Adrian realized that he didn't even know Aleigha’ s name, yet she knew everything about himself.
"Tell me, your name."
"Aleigha." She didn't tell him her surname.
"It's very you." He evaluated simply, then he stood up. "Take her with us."
"Yes, Young Master."
