Chapter 25: Too reckless
"Are you having fever?" Ethan asked as he noticed the unnatural expression on Davis’s face. Davis glanced coldly at Ethan who quickly shut his mouth up and averted his gaze.
It’s been a long time since he saw such an expression on Davis face. He patted his chest in relief that it was just a glare. It usually spells doom whenever it happens— he couldn’t help but wonder what he has done to offend him.
Though worried, he was grateful for the changes he noticed on him since Jessica’s arrival in the mansion. He seems to have began crawling out of his shell.
Though it may seem their relationship is just a boss and subordinate relationship but their bond has long exceeded such classification —they have passed through so much together.
Hearing Ethan’s question, Jessica’s eyes flew open. She looked at Davis briefly before she stretched her hand and touched his forehead—it was not hot. She sighed in relief and closed her eyes again. Davis glared at Ethan icily as he felt relieved that she didn’t pursue the matter further.
Davis looked at her for a while and sighed in resignation "I think it is too reckless for you to do that but if you say you aren’t then I don’t know what else to say", he muttered.
Jessica opened her eyes and looked at him incredulously. She never expected to hear him say anything relating to the incident again. It’s quite clear he is worried but — why did it sound more like a compliment than a complaint.
"How reckless? I thought you said you aren’t worried about me?" She said with a faint smile tugging at her lips.
Davis turned his gaze towards her "do you by any reason understand that you just broke someone’s leg, a human leg Jessica?" He queried, he didn’t understand how this girl’s brain work.
