Entwined Destinies: Captured Hearts

Chapter 28: Can You Not Be So Good to Me?

Sampson’s hand froze in the air. Money couldn’t make him happy. Dolores opened and shut her mouth, unspeaking. She couldn’t utter the question ‘Is Maria your mom mentioned just now your girlfriend?’But Sampson seemed not to want others to mention this subject. So she didn’t ask the question. Sampson lifted his head and found the print of five fingers on her face. He furrowed his brows and asked with pity, “Who planned this?”Dolores had no idea about it, but she guessed it might be Helen as she was the biggest threat to that woman. Helen was afraid of her being intimate with Matthew.(w)ww.??ve??????.???”I have no proof.” This was just her assumption and couldn’t be deemed as the final answer. Sampson reached out, intending to stoke her face, but Dolores subconsciously dodged backwards. Having not touched her face, Sampson felt a bit disappointed inwardly, but he pretended to be annoyed on the surface, “What? Can’t I touch your face?”Dolores didn’t mean to dodge his touch, it was just that she subconsciously disliked the touch from the males. Sampson smoothed her hair, “Lora, you felt shy just now.” Then his face darkened, “The wounds on your knees…”Although her bones didn’t get hurt, the superficial wounds were quite serious.”Try to bear it.” He was cleaning the wounds just now, and now they needed to be bandaged. She would feel pain when he applied the medicines to them. Dolores nodded. When Sampson was cleaning her wounds, it felt quite painful, but she just gritted her teeth to endure the sharp pain because she had known earlier that for some kinds of pain, no one could replace her to endure it. No one would feel pity for her! She could only let herself be stoic!”Okay.” She curled her lips into a straight line. Sampson glanced at her for two seconds and tried to amuse her, “If you can’t bear it, you can bite my arm.”Dolores smiled cooperatively, but she felt a heavy stone in her heart. Since Helen’s plan was foiled this time, she was wondering whether Helen would have other plans thereafter. Dolores found herself possessing nothing all of a sudden. How could she fight against Helen? Sampson was applying medicines on her wounds with his head drooped, so he didn’t notice her weird expression. Fearing that she might feel pain, he tried to distract her by talking to her, “Don’t worry, this medicine won’t affect the baby in your belly.”Dolores nodded. Sampson was really thoughtful. She stroked her belly. This child might be the greatest comfort for her for the time being. The baby was safe. She felt no bellyache and didn’t feel uncomfortable. Her baby was brave and strong.”Have a rest here tonight.” After bandaging her wounds, Sampson lifted his head and found sweats on her forehead, “Tell me when you need my help. We are close friends like brother and sister after all.”Dolores nodded. Her major concern now was to find out whether the things that happened tonight was planned by Helen White. Now that she was also working in the company and her working position was quite close to Helen’s, it was convenient for her to investigate this. Sampson stood to his feet, walked into the washroom and then brought over a basin of water for wiping away her sweats and the cold compress on her face.”Who had you offended?” Sampson asked. Judging from her swollen face, the person she had offended was really cruel. Dolores pondered for a while before replying, “I don’t have any proof. But I guess it should be Helen White, Matthew’s girlfriend. She seems to be holding grudges and resentments against me because I’ve married Matthew.”Sampson felt upset when he thought of Dolores’ marriage with Matthew. Luckily, they would divorce one month later. “Let me take care of you in the future.”When Dolores divorced Matthew, he would confess his feelings to her. He would take care of her in the future and would not let her get hurt anymore. Dolores didn’t hear it clearly and replied blandly with a nasal sound. She didn’t come back and stayed in the villa for the whole night, for, on the one hand, she was unfamiliar with this region, on the other hand, she had experienced that thrilling thing today. She got up early in the morning as she was quite restless during sleep. Sampson was so considerate that he bought her new clothes, as the clothes she wore yesterday were ragged.”It’s a dress. Your legs get hurt, and it’s unsuitable for you to wear pants.” Sampson handed her the dress. If she wore a pair of pants, it would graze against her wounds. The dress was long enough to cover her knees. Except for her mother, Sampson was the one who treated her best. But she felt stressed in the face of such kindness, for she didn’t know how to repay it.”Can you not be so good to me?” She asked in a husky voice. Sampson smiled with studied casualness, “Silly girl, we are good friends like brother and sister. Isn’t it my duty to take care of you? Don’t be so polite to me.”?w?.?o?e??????.???

After finishing the words, he reached out to stroke her nose, “You’re going to be a mother, yet are you still going to cry in front of me?”Dolores sniffed, smiled at him and walked into the room with the dress in her hands. She then took off the bathrobe and changed into the dress. After breakfast, Sampson sent her back.”Go to Golden Bay.” Since there was still time left, she had to come back to her parents’ house. With the rights to develop the Repulse Bay, which was given by Matthew, she would have a chip to negotiate with Randolph. She had to get those things back. Only with money could she fight against those who wanted to set her up. Although the amount of the money was not that much, at least it could solve her most urgent problem. What’s more, she had borrowed money from Sampson. Although he told her not to return the money, she was determined to repay the debt. Sampson made a U-turn and the car was now heading towards Golden Bay. The car soon came to a halt. Dolores got out of the car. Although she could still walk, she could feel the sharp pain in her knees when she took every step. She withstood the pain and walked towards the courtyard. In the house, the maids were making breakfast and the others seemed to have not wakened up.”Should I come to wake…””No need.” Dolores interrupted the maid. She once lived in this place. Last time, she came and left hastily and didn’t have time to step into the room where she once stayed in. Although her memories about this place were not that pleasant, this was the place where she had stayed during her childhood after all. She had some feelings for this place. Dolores went upstairs to the second floor and headed towards the room where she once lived to have a look, but she found there were some sounds from inside the room. She gently pushed open the door and found this room had been occupied by Annabelle. Annabelle was lying on the bed, and Beulah was sitting by the bedside seeming to be a bit disappointed, “I didn’t expect that she would run away.””What?” Annabelle suddenly sat up from the bed, “How could she escape?”Beulah’s face darkened, “I was so careless with this matter. I thought she was just a girl and that sending one man was enough to handle with her. But I hadn’t expected that man was so useless. He even failed to catch a woman!”Annabelle shouted in fury, “If she’s not ruined, how will Matthew disgust her and then divorce her? If they don’t get divorced, how will I have the chance?”Beulah covered Annabelle’s mouth with her hand, “Keep your voice down, or else your father may hear it.”Annabelle said in a lower voice, “But I’m so angry…””Aren’t I angry?” Beulah’s expressions were hideous, “If she wins Matthew Nelson’s favor and revenges herself on us relying on the powers and forces of the Nelson family, we will be dead meat.””So we must ruin her now,” Annabelle said ferociously. Beulah was more scrupulous, “We failed this time, and I’m afraid that she has been aware of this. It will be a bit difficult to set her up…””You…” Annabelle caught a glimpse of the person who was standing at the door and jumped off the bed. She pointed at Dolores and said ferociously, “How… How come you’re here?”Dolores originally thought that it was Helen who wanted to set her up, but she hadn’t expected that it was planned by Beulah and Annabelle. Beulah was also astonished when she saw Dolores, “When did you come upstairs? What did you hear?”Dolores sneered. Beulah had snatched her mom’s husband – her father and had been using her mom’s dowries. She just wanted to get back her mom and her belongings. But she hadn’t expected that Beulah would intend to ruin her! How ironic! They were afraid that she would use the powers and forces of the Nelson family?”What did I hear?” Dolores sneered, fixating her stare at Beulah, “I heard all I should know. I heard every word you spoke!”Dolores originally thought that it was Helen who wanted to set her up, but she hadn’t expected that it was planned by Beulah and Annabelle. Beulah was also astonished when she saw Dolores, “When did you come upstairs? What did you hear?” Dolores sneered. Beulah had snatched her mom’s husband – her father and had been using her mom’s dowries. She just wanted to get back her mom and her belongings. But she hadn’t expected that Beulah would intend to ruin her! How ironic! They were afraid that she would use the powers and forces of the Nelson family? ???. n??(e)??h???.??? “What did | hear?” Dolores sneered, fixating her stare at Beulah, “I heard all | should know. | heard every word you spoke!”w??.????(l)sH??e.???
