A burning sensation hit my lungs, causing me to fall back in pain.
Austin was startled and just as he was about to help me up, a familiar female voice came from the ward.
"Austin..."
"Austin, where are you?"
Before the voice fell, Austin quickly withdrew his hand and ran back to the ward without looking back.
I fell down in the cold corridor, looking at the man kneeling on one knee in front of Suzy's bed, bowing his head devoutly and my eyes were sore for a moment.
Among the people sent by the Jenner Family, I chose Austin at first sight. For nothing else, it was just for his unyielding pride.
At that time, he rescued me from trouble several times and I looked at him with undisguised love in my eyes. Friends were betting to see who could make the serious Austin take off his mask.
I didn't say anything, but I was thinking secretly in my heart. I not only wanted to tear off his disguise, but also watched his proud head bowed for me. Now I finally saw it, but it was not for me.
Suzy was rescued in time and was discharged from the hospital soon.
Because I inhaled too much smoke, my vocal cords were damaged and I could no longer speak for a long time.
"Suzy has been having nightmares recently. The doctor suggested that she get more sun."
"Suzy said she likes the balcony in your room the most. Can you exchange a few days with her?"
I carried the heavy luggage and stood up with difficulty. Austin's words made my heart sink again.
He only remembered Suzy's preferences, but forgot that after I was kidnapped, I had a stress reaction to the pink room. And Suzy's room happened to be pink.
Austin didn't notice my emotions at all and there was only one figure in his eyes.
Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, he finally frowned impatiently.
"Emily, it's just a room. Suzy became like this because of you."
Austin lost his patience and his usual cold mask was removed, replaced by disgust.
I looked at him like this and a bitterness surged in my heart.
I had been with Austin for eight years and he had only called me Miss Barley.
Hearing him calling Suzy so intimately, I once deliberately teased him and forced him to call me by my name. But he refused and I found out later.
Because Suzy was a unique existence in his heart and I was not. Even now, he only called my name in annoyance when it was for Suzy.
I ignored him and went to the guest room.
