Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 163 - 163. Injury

"Ahhh..." Anna winced as she felt pain in her palms and elbows. She almost lost her balance if Devan didn't immediately grab her and help her.

"Be careful."

"Let go, I can do it myself," replied Anna slapping Devan's hand.

"But your hand..."

"It's okay, I can hold it," Anna said then tried to get up from her position again.

Devan, who couldn't bear to see the woman in front of him grimacing, immediately turned his gaze to another direction.

But only for a few seconds, he looked back at Anna, and at the same time he carried the woman and stepped out from the edge of the pool.

"I-I can do it myself, you don't have to do this," said Anna.

Devan did not respond, only glanced at the woman. Walked into the house, he wanted to take her back to the room.

Not getting a response from the man holding her, Anna took a deep breath. The thing she was afraid of happening today, this was one of the reasons why she came to Devan's house secretly, nor did she tell her about their son.

Even though she had tried to act so that something like this didn't happen, it still happened.

Indeed in life, sometimes some things cannot be avoided, forcing us to face them head-on and accept everything gracefully.

Not everything can be controlled according to desire, and that's what happened to Anna right now.

"I'm sorry," Anna squeaked but Devan didn't respond in the slightest.

Climbing the stairs, anyone can see that Anna's clothes are still very wet, occasionally water seems to fall from the ends of the clothes she is wearing and create water trails on the floor.

"Take a bath and change your clothes," said Devan after lowering Anna's body.

Anna did not give any response.

"Do I need to help you?"

"NO, DON'T DO IT. I can still do it," Anna replied that instant. Her face blushed without realizing it.

Devan nodded in approval.

Anna's brow furrowed, her brows furrowed in confusion when she saw Devan still in his position without moving an inch.

"What are you waiting for?"

"I will accompany you to change clothes," said Devan and was immediately rewarded with a sharp glare from Anna.

"Okay, okay, I'm just joking," added Devan again rubbing the back of his neck and then walking out of the room. He was just trying to lighten Anna's mood which seemed to be getting worse, though he wasn't sure if it was working or not.

After Devan's leave, Anna took a deep breath, checked her hands and elbows, then went to the bathroom

Until several tens of minutes had passed, Devan, who was standing outside the room leaning against the wall, now glanced at the clock that was wrapped around his wrist. A first aid kit was beside his feet.

Soon, it will be evening. She couldn't bear to let her go like that.

Waiting a few more moments, Devan's brow furrowed when he didn't hear any sound from inside the room, even though it had been about an hour.

"Anna," Devan called as she knocked on the door.

"Yes," said Anna from inside.

"Are you done?" he asked.

Anna didn't answer, making the man frown.

"If it's done, I'm in now," he said.

"Wait, don't come in."

"Why? Aren't you done yet? Or did something happen?" asked Devan as he put his ear to the door.

"Um... That...." Anna's reply sounded very unclear.

"Are you having trouble? Need help?" Devan guessed because it was normal for Anna to have trouble changing clothes just by looking at the wounds on her hands and elbows.

"No, not at all."

"Then?"

"M-my clothes," Anna stuttered.

"Where did you put all the clothes I wore before?" she asked again.

"I threw it away. Is there a problem with that?" he asked.

Anna who heard this immediately dropped her body on the bed. There were no more clothes left in the paper bag, only some underwear, all the clothes that previously filled the paper bag were now gone, all of them she had worn.

And it turns out that Devan has thrown it all away? No wonder she couldn't find it anywhere.

Currently, Anna only wore a towel on her body, her hair which she had dried with a towel also still looked wet.

"Anna?"

Anna was shocked when she heard the man calling her name again. Immediately she climbed into bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, afraid that Devan would suddenly open the bedroom door and find herself half-naked.

She doesn't want to be labeled as a seductress.

And what she feared before now happened, Devan opened the door with the first aid kit perched obediently in one of his hands.

"How are you feeling now?" the man asked approaching Anna.

"I-I'm fine now," the woman stuttered.

Devan nodded, "Let me help treat your wound," he said approaching Anna and sitting on the edge of the bed making the woman quickly shift her body with a look of horror.

"D-don't come any closer, and stay right there."

Confused? Of course, Devan was confused. Anna avoided him as if he had an infectious disease.

He wouldn't ask why Anna wrapped herself in a blanket in a sitting position because Devan thought that she might be cold after falling into the pool.

Looked at the first aid kit that Devan had placed on a nightstand, then Anna said, "I-I can treat my wounds. You can come out now."

"Are you sure?" asked Devan with one eyebrow raised.

"Erm, don't worry, I can endure it. After all, this wound is not much," replied Anna at the same time while nodding in agreement, looking so excited.

Hearing the woman's words, Devan took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'll go out," he said then stood up.

"Call me if you need help, I'm outside," he added then turned to leave.

Suddenly, a sigh of relief escaped Anna's lips.

While Devan, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly stopped, his eyes glaring at the paper bag lying around the sofa. Instantly a smile appeared on his lips.

"What? Why did you stop?" asked Anna but Devan ignored her.

Instead of walking out of the room, the man entered the walk-in closet which was also in the same room.

He went to one of his closets and pulled out a white shirt of his.

Anna, who saw the man back out, tightened the blanket on her body. Give a wary look.

Their eyes met, making Devan swallow his saliva unconsciously. He knew very well that at this time Anna was not wearing anything.

"Wear this for a while," Devan said as he put the shirt in his hand on the bed and then turned and left the room without waiting for Anna's response.

"H-how do you know?" Anna muttered as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.. She immediately checked the blanket that wrapped her body, worried that some parts of her body were exposed without her knowing.I
