Chapter 238
Nathan was so anxious that he almost felt like dying. He didn’t expect his father to be this cruel to Ella.
His father nearly strangled Ella to death!
But now his father was so angry that Nathan didn’t dare say anything. He just glanced at Christian carefully and focused his attention on Ella again. “Old woman, I’ll help you upstairs.”
Ella’s face was completely white. Her body seemed to lack strength and cold sweat started running down her back, making Ella look like a fish on land.
Nathan tried to support Ella, but unfortunately, he was too young. He couldn’t do anything to help her.
In the end, he shouted, “Butler...!”
The butler rushed over as soon as he heard Nathan’s screams. His feet stopped walking for a moment when he saw what was happening in front of him.
What did the Master do to this woman?
.....
Without hesitation, he immediately asked several maids to help Ella upstairs.
Ella could only lean her body against one of the maids weakly and thanked her in a low voice.
“Miss, how are you feeling?” The butler asked anxiously.
“Old woman, which part of your body hurts? Tell me,” Nathan followed Ella with a worried look.
That concern made Ella turn and look at Nathan.
Which part hurts? Her heart...
Her heart ached so much, it was like it was crushed and shattered into tiny pieces that could never be whole again.
It didn’t take long for the family doctor to come from the front door.
He bowed slightly when he saw Christian sitting in the living room. Without daring to say anything, he rushed upstairs.
Seeing the woman lying on the bed, the doctor gasped.
“Is this Mr Christian’s doing?”
It’s terrible!
“Hmm...” Ella nodded, too lazy to use her voice so she just mumbled.
The doctor noticed the bruises on Ella’s neck and muttered, “Is he in a bad mood lately?”
This was not a one-time occurrence. Ella had also experienced this kind of thing. Both because Christian discovered that Ella went with another man, even though nothing happened between them and that Ella never betrayed him.
Ella and Christian did not have a special relationship. Their relationship was just a mutually symbiotic relationship, more to a professional relationship.
Ella’s relationship with Liam was also only childhood friends. Liam only helped her to get her mother’s house.
An extraordinary jealousy rose in Christian’s heart, but unfortunately, he will never realize it. Just like that, Christian will never realize that he has fallen in love for Ella.
Ella did not answer the doctor’s question.
Finally, the doctor gave Ella some ointment to treat her bruises. Ella looked at the strangulation marks on her neck with a sad look in her eyes.
This is exactly the same as the previous one and this incident will continue to repeat itself.
Last time, when she woke up, Christian was standing by her bed.
But now, she didn’t see the bridge of his nose.
Nathan and the butler remained by Ella’s side to comfort her, trying to explain that Christian had no intention of hurting her at all.
Christian just lost control of his emotions and was blinded by his anger. Christian did all this because he didn’t know how to deal with a woman.
Ella only listened to the explanation briefly.
Her eyes looked dim.
She knew that Christian would never believe her.
What did Christian think when he saw the photo? Did Christian think that she was dating all the men in the photo?
With annoyance in her heart, Ella pulled the blanket over her and closed her eyes.
Looks like it’s time to go ...
...
In the living room, Christian is still sitting in the same place as before. He looked at the cake in front of him with a dreamy gaze.
The gaze shifted to his slightly trembling hands now.
Christian had sworn he would never let anyone hurt Ella again. But in fact, he was the one who had hurt Ella.
He knew that she was so fragile, not only physically, but also emotionally. He knew how much betrayal and suffering Ella had experienced that made her heart shattered.
But Christian still treated her so cruelly.
Without having to look at her in person, Christian knew that his hand would leave an ugly mark on Ella’s neck.
While thinking about this, Christian felt an extraordinary dilemma. He didn’t want to treat Ella like this. But the longer he was with Ella, the more he wanted to have Ella.
He couldn’t see Ella with another man.
As he saw the doctor coming down from upstairs, Christian asked, “How is she?”
The doctor was a little taken aback by the question, but quickly answered, “There’s no need to worry, sir. She is fine. But the bruises on her neck will take time to heal...”
“Shut up,” Christian interrupted.
The doctor rushed to escape from there. Inside, he really wanted to cry. He only answered what was asked by Christian, why was he also involved?
It seems that Christian is getting more and more scary by the day.
Not long after, the butler came downstairs. When he saw that the kitchen was still as busy as before, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Today is the master’s birthday. Who knew that this happy day would turn into chaos.
All of Christian’s thoughts were focused on Ella who was upstairs. Even though he knew he was wrong, Christian would never admit it.
He was sure that Ella would apologize to him like before and their relationship would be fine.
While thinking about this, Christian’s mood is much better as he goes upstairs.
In his room, he finds Ella fast asleep.
Ella’s mind was completely muddled. She was so tired and in pain that she decided not to think anymore.
She didn’t want to face Christian now and decided to just sleep.
Christian stood by the bed looking into Ella’s face.
While sleeping, there is an extraordinary beauty on Ella’s face that makes Christian’s heart move. What must he do to be able to have this woman all to himself?
Nathan looked at his father with a frown. His cheeks bulged in annoyance. But he didn’t want to wake Ella who had just fallen asleep so he didn’t say anything.
Not long after, Christian gestures for his son to get out of there.
Nathan shook his head. But when he saw the sinister gaze of his father, he could only obey.
After Nathan left, Christian raised his hand to caress Ella’s face gently. As if she could feel the touch, Ella immediately opened her eyes in fright.
“Are you awake?” Christian’s hand stopped in mid-air, as if he got caught doing something wrong.
“What are you doing?” Ella’s voice sounded a little hoarse. Her eyes stared at Christian with hatred that she didn’t hide.
“This is my house,” Christian could feel the familiar flames of anger slowly rising inside him again.
He had already gone upstairs and took the initiative to meet Ella first. But look at the face this woman gave him.
Ella nodded and got up from her spot. “I forget. In that case, I’ll just go.”
“Don’t you ever dream of being able to do it.” Christian held Ella’s shoulder. “I will not let you go.”
He would not be able to accept if Ella decided to leave him. Right now, that was the thing he was most afraid of.
When he was looking for a way to get Ella and have her for himself, this woman wanted to leave him instead!
“Christian, have you gone mad?” Ella endured the pain in her shoulder and looked at him. “Until when are you going to torture me like this?”
