Chapter 73: Shopping Mall 1
Did I hurt you?" He quickly grabbed her hand to look over it. His eyes brimming with pain. "Why didn’t you talk?"
Jessica smiled, why will she talk when he wouldn’t hear it at that time. Besides, his episode is one of his psychological weakness outsiders shouldn’t know about so as not to exploit him.
With no option, she had to bear the pain but it is okay. As long as he is back to himself. She had always expected his episode to set in at any time depending on the situation and the visit to the mall he usually frequents should cause him an episode.
"Stop the car, Ethan" he growled bitterly. He didn’t expect that despite trying his best not to hurt her, he still did. He felt pain and regret wash over him.
"Why stopping the car?" Jessica stared at him on surprise.
"Let’s get an ice pack for your hand." He muttered angrily.
"Ethan, you drive. We don’t have the whole day to spend over nothing." Jessica instructed. Davis opened his mouth to object but Jessica glare made him shut up.
"Am sorry about that." He murmured in a voice so low that if not for Jessica keen ear, it might have been lost on her.
"That’s okay. I am not that weak". She muttered.
Davis couldn’t really describe how he felt within himself. His emotion at the moment is complicated. Jessica glanced at him lightly, she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her what is going in his brain at the moment since it is clearly written all over his face.
"You don’t have to do this if you’re not ready," she murmured, her voice so soft it was meant for him alone.
