"I just tripped while walking and hurt my ankle," Cassie Kofi rubbed her nose, trying to look even more delicate. "It hurts so much!"
"Oh no, stay right there and don't move. I'll be there soon," Lexi Le said, then hung up the phone.
Lexi Le quickly rubbed his face to make himself look more anxious, then turned and headed to Cassie Kofi's hotel.
"Cassie!" Lexi Le hurried over and saw Cassie Kofi still sitting on the ground. He immediately knelt down to check her injury, not caring about anything else.
"Lexi, it hurts so much!" Cassie Kofi collapsed into Lexi Le's arms, secretly delighted.
She finally managed to get close to Lexi Le!
Lexi Le pretended not to notice Cassie Kofi's little tricks and picked her up in his arms.
"Ah!" Cassie Kofi was caught off guard and cried out.
"I'll take you to the hospital." Lexi Le looked at her dotingly. "You're such a little fool, getting hurt just by walking. Good thing I bought you shoes in advance, otherwise I'd be so worried about you all the time. Hmm?"
Lexi Le perfectly copied Ethan Yin's tone with the final 'hmm.'
When Cassie Kofi heard that, her heart started pounding wildly.
I'm dying, I'm dying.
I'm totally smitten!
Cassie Kofi quietly lay in Lexi Le's arms, her eyes lingering on him with obvious intent.
Lexi Le pretended not to notice and placed Cassie Kofi in the passenger seat, then quickly drove them to the hospital.
The doctor examined her and found it was just a minor sprain, not a fracture. After a simple treatment and a prescription, they were allowed to leave.
Lexi Le carried Cassie Kofi all the way back to the hotel.
"You've been staying here all this time?" Lexi Le looked around the hotel room and couldn't help but frown. "No one's been taking care of you?"
Cassie Kofi's eyes flickered.
Of course she couldn't say that Howard had been taking care of her all this time.
"Sweet!" Cassie Kofi bit down on the candy and nodded vigorously.
The candy tasted sweet in her mouth and even sweeter in her heart.
"Silly girl," Lexi Le patted Cassie Kofi's head, his face full of affection.
Cassie Kofi felt dizzy, not knowing if she was in reality or in a dream.
That night, when Cassie Kofi tried to order greasy food, Lexi Le stopped her.
"You can't eat that while you're injured," Lexi Le said. "I've already ordered delivery for you—light, healthy food that's good for recovery. In our country, there's a saying: 'Eat what you need to heal.' So I got you pork trotter soup. Drink more, you'll recover faster."
Cassie Kofi was so dazed she barely understood what Lexi Le was saying, just kept nodding.
Meanwhile, she was squealing like a marmot inside.
Ahhhhh!
I'm finally in love!
Being in love feels so good!
When the food arrived, Lexi Le insisted Cassie Kofi not use her hands and personally fed her.
Watching Lexi Le feed her bite by bite, Cassie Kofi ate everything in a daze.
Cassie Kofi had never met such a gentle man before.
Even Howard had never been so gentle.
No, that brute Howard—what does he know besides fighting?
He's nothing!
Lexi Le is so much better!
So handsome, noble, gentle, and doting!
He fulfills all her fantasies about love!
Cassie Kofi even felt that Ethan Yin wasn't that special anymore!
If she could always be with Lexi Le like this, she wouldn't mind not being with Ethan Yin!
After feeding her, Lexi Le cleaned up the trash and left it for the staff to collect.
'Are you leaving?' Cassie Kofi looked at Lexi Le reluctantly. 'Can you stay? Will you stay with me?'
For the first time, Lexi Le leaned down and gently kissed Cassie Kofi's forehead. 'It's late, you should rest.'
'Watch me sleep,' Cassie Kofi pleaded again and again.
'No can do,' Lexi Le said with a slight smile.
Things that come too easily are rarely cherished.
Make her want it but not get it, make her reach but only get a taste.
'Will you come again tomorrow?' Cassie Kofi asked Lexi Le expectantly.
'Do you want me to come?' Lexi Le asked her.
Cassie Kofi nodded vigorously.
Lexi Le smiled, gently patted her head, and asked softly, 'What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?'
Cassie Kofi was stunned, then quickly understood.
Ahhhh, she was squealing like a marmot inside again!
Why is Lexi Le so gentle!
Why is Lexi Le so considerate!
She's really falling for him!
'I want to eat you... ah, no, I mean, anything you bring!' Cassie Kofi subconsciously wiped her mouth.
Lexi Le chuckled, tilting his head and looking at her at a forty-five degree angle.
