Pay For Lovely Me

Chapter 29 I Love You

It was too stupid of Nancy to do so. She probably didn't know that if something really happened

between Celia and Ryan at this time, with the cold and arrogant character of Hans, even the whole Su

family would not let go. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Celia!"

All of a sudden, Ryan grabbed her shoulder, which didn't hurt her, but made her extremely nervous and

her heart was in a mess. She had to raise her head, and her eyes was locked by his deep and painful

sight.

Her heart trembled again, as if she had suddenly drunk a bottle of mature vinegar, and the feeling of

sourness spread in her heart.

"Celia, I love you!"

When the four eyes met, he blurted out, with a trace of anxiety, and the deep affection in his eyes could

not be removed.

He didn't want to hide it anymore. He loved her. He had been waiting for her for many years. When she

grew up, he didn't expect that such a change would happen. When he knew that she had signed the

contract, he was extremely regretful.

There was a moment of blank in Celia's mind and she even stopped breathing for a moment. Her

watery eyes were full of sadness. She stared at him blankly, unable to come to her senses. What did

he say just now?

He said he loved her!

Noticing that she was stiff, Ryan felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He stared at her with burning eyes

and said, "Celia, I should have confessed my love to you, but it's not too late now. Don't worry. I will try

my best to make you leave Hans. I won't let him hurt you recklessly."

Then, he pulled Celia into his arms.

Hearing his rapid and uneven heartbeat, Celia pursed her lips slightly and suddenly came to her

senses. She blurted out, "No, Ryan, I don't love you."

He felt stifled and his handsome face turned pale in an instant, as if someone was cutting his heart with

a sharp knife, and the pain was endless.

Seeing his pale face, Celia felt sad, but she tried her best to break away from his arms. She took a

deep breath and said softly, "Ryan, you are just like my brother. I can't like you."

The pain in Ryan's eyes flashed, and he caught her point the next moment. "Celia, what do you mean

that you can't like me? You also love me, right?"

"No. Ryan, I have trade my life to Hans. I will never have the right to love someone in my life. Don't do

anything unnecessary for me."

"Celia, don't say like that. You just need to tell me that if it weren't for the accident of Hans, would you

accept my confession of love?"

Ryan stared at her with burning and expectant eyes. He pursed his thin lips and was determined to get

the answer.

Before long, Celia often thought that if she hadn't hesitated, or if she had been more ruthless, then

wouldn't there have been less entanglement between them? And Ryan wouldn't have offended Hans

because of her and wouldn't have been injured?

But there was no 'if'. Under the expectant eyes of Ryan, she was in a trance for a moment, thinking of

his love and care for her over the years. When they met for the first time, he pulled her behind from

three children who threw stones at her, and announced to the three children in a manly manner, "If

anyone dares to bully her again, I will kick his teeth in."

It turned out that he went to play with Joe that day. He just inadvertently saw her being bullied, and that

glance became eternal. When he saw her stubborn and tearful eyes, he swore in his heart that he

would protect her well from now on.

At first, it was just a boy's heroic action, but later, a secret feeling arose unconsciously.

Since then, she had been always taken care of by him and Joe. While Joe was her elder brother, but

he was not. When a girl's first awakening of love, she did have a shy love for the handsome Ryan.

However, there were also inferiority and sadness behind her optimistic and stubborn character. Ryan

was not only handsome, but also from an impeccable family. As far as she could remember, he had

been surrounded by all kinds of girls. Because he was older than her, she naturally became his

younger sister who helped other girls deliver love letters to him.

Seeing that she was in a trance and her eyes twinkled, a glimmer of hope rose in the bottom of his

heart, as if he had seen a new light dawn in the darkness. His originally gloomy eyes lit up, and he

looked at her happily. "Celia, I will try to make myself stronger and let you leave Hans as soon as

possible."

It was not the sweet words, but every word was his most affectionate and firm promise. He knew

clearly that he couldn't save Celia now. He couldn't afford to offend Hans, and his father was clear-cut

in attitude. He didn't dare to act rashly.

However, he wanted Celia to know that he liked her, and even loved her deeply. He could do anything

for her. She didn't know that he knelt outside his father's room that night.

Feeling a surge of heat in her heart, Celia's eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist. She

tightened her lips, shook her head sadly, and refused his affections stubbornly and firmly. "Ryan, I

really don't like you. Don't change anything because of me, and don't get hurt because of me. You are

the only son of your family, and the future successor of the Mond Group. Your responsibility is the

whole company and the whole family, not me. "

In the next few days, Hans didn't appear again. Celia was very bored in the hospital. That night, she

learned from the intensive-care nurse that her father, Ned, fainted for some reason. When she was

supported by the intensive-care nurse to the emergency room, Joe was scolding Nancy.

"Joe, how is dad?"

Hearing him scolding her, Celia was confused and worried. She couldn't help but interrupt him.

Seeing her coming, Joe glared at Nancy with hatred, which could be considered as a temporary relief

for her. Then he turned to look at Celia and said, "Father is being rescued inside."

Then, he walked up to Celia and held her from the other side. "Celia, you can't walk now. Why do you

come down? You'd better go back to the ward and have a rest. Dad has just entered the emergency

room. Maybe when he comes out, I'll tell you."

Just now, he scolded Nancy because of this matter. She made his father faint with anger, and she also

called Celia here. If she was not his younger sister, he really wanted to slap her two times.

Celia looked at the closed door of the emergency room, frowned and shook her head. "It doesn't

matter. I'll wait here."

Anyway, she couldn't rest assured when she returned to the ward, so she might as well wait here for

her father to come out.

"You are the mistress of Hans now. You live in a senior ward and enjoy the special care. You'd better go

back to the ward. If there is something wrong, we can't responsible for it. If you really have a little

conscience, you can put in a good word for Nancy and don't let her go to the mental hospital to suffer

that again."

The sarcastic words came from the side. Hearing that, Joe frowned at once. When he was about to say

something, Celia said, "Mom, if I don't have conscience, I'm afraid that you and Nancy won't stand here

now. She wanted to go to the mental hospital to suffer, and no one forced her. She did it voluntarily. It's

second that weather I would speak good words for her or not. As long as she doesn't speak ill of me

behind my back, I'll feel deeply grateful. "

After hearing that, Emily was furious. She took two steps forward, raised her hand and was about to

slap her in the face, but this time, she was stopped by a special nurse beside.

"Mrs. Emily, Miss Celia is now Mr. Hans's woman. You have to care about the consequences."

The simple words made Emily stiff and embarrassed.

After a long time, she snorted and said angrily, "Celia, I really regret that I didn't kick you out."

That was what she meant. As long as she didn't do anything, the special nurse next to her would be

indifferent and ignore her. However, it was Joe who said angrily, "Mom, Celia has devoted her whole

life because of Nancy. Can't you be nicer to her?"

"Joe, it doesn't matter. I'm used to it. If mom and Nancy suddenly love me more, I will misplace my

mind."

Just like that day, she called her for help. It was better to be indifferent. Although they had lived

together for twenty years, she never expected to be loved by her.

With a trembling anger, Emily pointed at Celia and cursed, "Celia, you are an ingrate. I brought you up

and gave you a family. You not only shamelessly robbed the man of Nancy, but also instigated her to

go to the mental hospital to face a group of madmen all day long. So what? You volunteered to sell

your body at that time. Moreover, if you didn't sell your body to Hans. Can you live such a good life

now? Even if I keep a dog, it will know how to repay you. What about you? I have raised you for twenty

years in vain. If you don't deal with Nancy's matter, don't appear in front of us from now on. "

With shocked and worried Joe's face. Emily turned around and left after scolding and Nancy snorted at

Celia and followed her mother away.

"Celia, don't take mom's words seriously, let alone take it into heart. She and Nancy have always been

greedy for vanity."

Celia shook her head indifferently. She didn't feel sad after hearing so many words like that. However,

in the past, Emily only scolded her behind her back because she was afraid of being blame by Joe and

Ned. But now, she had already offend her openly.

"Joe, I'm okay. But you, don't quarrel with mom because of me. Dad is sick now, and the whole family

will rely on you in the future."

"Celia, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well."

Joe helped her sit down on a bench aside. Then, Celia asked the special nurse to go back to work.

They sat there and waited for Ned to come out from the emergency room.

This time, Ned was not as lucky as the last time. On the second day, when he woke up at dusk, his left

body was unconscious. The doctor concluded that he was suffering from hemiplegia!

Although this situation had been reminded last time, when it really happened, Ned and his family were

still in a panic.

"Mr. Hans, the hospital called. Ned was paralyzed."
