nHad he started liking her or was he being attracted to her body!! The thought created havoc in the mind of Leo that he even forgot about the girl that was creating havoc in the room.

n

"Bam crash! Thump..

"

n

"Oww.. Leo!!

"

nThe sound of falling a vase brought him back to the earth. He turned only to find Evan was rubbing her lower back while the table had fallen over her and there were shards of the vase all around her. Her hands had been bleeding due to a small shard that had pierced her fingers.

nHe sighed and ran towards the small ball of accidents. Since the day she had entered his life, there had not been a single day when he had felt peaceful. Yet here he was attending her every whim. He wondered how life would be if she stayed in it forever.

n

"Ouch

" her face had formed a pout as she moved her hands and tried to take the shard out of it. But her bound fingers were too close to each other to move freely and her eyes were blindfolded so she was not even able to see where the shard was. A look of defeat and disappointment filled her face as she felt alone and helpless, when a warm had held her.

n

"You should start learning to listen to me!

" rather than angry, his tone was full of warmth that she raised her head instinctively even when she was not able to see his face.

nHe looked at her face looking miserable and felt a pang in his chest. His fingers instinctively moved and touched the tear that had escaped the blindfold. The blindfold was already wet from her tears and he sighed.

nHe looked at the pearly tear that was glimmering on his finger with complex feelings. He did not know what he was feeling exactly. It was a mixture of anger, hatred, care and worry.

n

"Umm, Leo

" he blinked and looked back at the girl who was still sitting on the floor with her hands closer to her chest and let go of the tear, he was looking so keenly as if it was a lost diamond.

n

"Can you help me in taking out the shard. It is hurting me a lot!

" her voice was low and raspy and he could feel the pain through it.

n

"Aah, yes!

" he moved and untied her hands and then held her right hand that had two shards piercing it. One was on her finger while the other was on her palms. Her hand was bleeding from both ends.

nHe took out the charades in one swift motion and she winced.

n

"Ouch. It hurts!

" she mumbled as she tried to take back her hands but he held them tightly without letting it go.

nShe looked at him with confusion but she was not able to see his face to make any sense.

n

"Let me wrap the wound or it will get infected.

" he mumbled and she chuckled.

nHe looked at her with a frown when she muttered,

"do you have medicine with you right now? You have to let go of my hand. Only then will you be able to bring one!

" he blinked at her cheekiness and his lips curled upwards.

n

"Alright, sit here like an obedient girl. Do not move much since the shards are everywhere. I will take you after getting the medicine.

" he patted her head and instructed in a warm voice as if he was giving instructions to a kid but she nodded silently without even a single complaint or retort that was too rare for her.

nHe raised a brow but did not say a word as he stood up to bring the first aid box. Evan touched her cheeks with her left hand where Leo had wiped her tears. His fingers were too cold yet all she felt was warmth that was still lingering there.

nEven the loneliness that was filling her heart, dissipated with his single touch and a smile bloomed on her lips. Why did she feel that being ill was not that bad if he was the one who would take care of her.

nShe shook her head at her foolish thoughts. He would kill her if she continued to trouble him. She was only feeling like that because she could not see his cold and glaring eyes!!

n

"What are you smiling about?

" asked Leo with a raised brow as he brought the first aid box.

nThe smile turned stiff on her face and then it vanished without a source. Her face turned grim again and she shook her head,

"will you help me in standing up first?

" she was feeling helpless as she could not even move by her wish!

n

"Wait!

" he moved closer to her and his breath caressed her face and her eyes widened.

n

"What.. wha..

" the words died in her throat when she felt his hands touching the back of her head.

nHe untied the silk handkerchief that was covering her eyes. She rubbed her eyes with her other hands and blinked a few times to get adjusted to the light and fluttered her eyes open.

nShe opened her eyes only to see a pair of dark eyes were trying to suck her soul by just an inch away. Those dark black holes were staring at her as if looking deep into her soul and she suddenly felt conscious of her appearance.

nHer face turned redder when his heated gaze did not leave her face and she coughed to distract him but he did not move a bit.

n

"Umm, Leo! My hands!

" She spoke slowly but her voice came hoarse and raspy as she was shouting and crying for long and the man finally moved his gaze away from her alluring face and looked at her injured hands.

nHe took out the cotton from the box and started cleaning her wound without saying a word. And then wrapped it with a cotton roll.

n

"I am sorry for creating so much trouble for you!

"
