Chapter 126 Anything to protect her

Chapter 126 Anything to protect her

Christian's POV

I didn't know how fast I ran into the hospital. I hoped Scarlett would be safe, I hoped Ethan or the person he sent wouldn't be able to get into the room before I got there. And even if they get there before I do, I hoped Logan would be able to protect her.

And here right now, I wasn't let down. I'm so fucking glad she's fine and so grateful to Logan for laying his life to protect her.

“I'll get you the cotton wool and things you will need to take care of his wound, Mrs. Hartley” the doctor said to Scarl.

She was done stitching Logan up and was heading out of the room.

I had broken the hug with Scarlett seconds earlier and she had kept her distance probably because she believes I'd still do it again.

I looked over at Logan who was checking his stitched stomach. I moved over to him and straightened my back, my two hands tucked inside my pocket.

“You've been staring at that stitch like it's gold” I teased him. “Never got a stitch in your entire life?”

He looked up at me with a scornful look before he took his face away and scoffed.

“Yeah, I've never gotten a stitch before, so this looks like it's more than gold, satisfied?!” He yelled at me but his tone doesn't show he's meaning to be harsh.

It shows he's just returning my teasing energy.

“Gold?” He scoffed at the word while silently talking to himself. “What gold?”

“This is going to be an ugly scar,” he muttered again.

“I'm sorry, Logan,” Scarlett pouted her lips.

She moved over to the bed and sat at the edge while I stood over the both of them and watched.

“I know how much you hate the scents of hospitals,” Scarlett continued. “But you are here because of me”

“Exactly!” Logan groaned. “You should buy me a meal when I recover”

Scarlett smiled and I couldn't get my eyes off her because of that single smile.

I faced Logan again when the smile disappeared from Scarlett's face.

“Thank you,” I said. I made sure to sound loud and clear so I don't have to repeat it.

His face turned to me but he said nothing and his eyes were only calm.

“I'm thankful to you for saving her,” I said. “I would have hated myself for leaving here if you weren't here”

I wouldn't have said that in any situation but I had to thank him. It was related to Scarlett, it was a life and death situation and I was the only one who could tell how scared I was after I got off the phone with Ethan earlier.

Logan chuckled. “You really like her,” he muttered.

I didn't know if Scarlett heard that but I knew she didn't hear it when I turned to her.

She had her head buried in her palm and had her lips pouted.

“But…..” she trailed off and lifted her head from her palm where she leaned it on.

“Why is he trying to kill me?” She asked even though her question was not directed to anyone particular.

“I can't stop but feel like I know that man” Scarlett continued. My gaze flicked to her but I said nothing.

Of course she knows the man, it's my brother, the one who had cooked dinner and breakfast for her days ago.

I knew it was Ethan right from when I entered and touched his leg with mine.

He's really bent on getting rid of Scar but I won't allow him.

“I didn't do anything wrong to anyone, did I?” Scarlett's voice rose again, bringing me back from my thoughts.

She snapped her gaze to me like that particular question was directed at me.

Before I could respond, Logan's voice spoke.

“Don't be scared, Scar,” Logan assured her. “You'll be fine and everything will be fine”

I also chirped in. “I'll investigate this so no need to panic”

I wasn't investigating anything,I already knew who the person who had come here to attack her was and all I was going to do was to get Ethan to stay off her track.

And if he doesn't listen and try to harm her once again then we will drop everything relating to blood and I'll fight to protect what's mine.

Yes, Scarlett Carrington is married to me, she's mine.

A knock came on the door and once again, I was snapped out of my thoughts.

The doctor walked in with a box of first aid kit in her hand.

Scarlett stood up and took it from her with a slight bow.

“Thank you” she said to the doctor who also muttered the same words and bowed slightly before turning to leave.

Scarlett came to stand in front of me and I was made to face away from Logan who I had been staring at his face all along.

“Roll your trousers, let me help you with your injury” she said.

A smirk curled on my lips but she didn't see that as she wasn't looking at me.

“Help me with it,” I said.

I was still standing with my arms crossed and did nothing but stare at her while hiding the amusing smirk that threatened to fall off my lips.

She looked up at me with a hint of disbelief on her face but she said nothing.

She crouched down and rolled the trousers, applying stuff from the box the doctor had given her.

“Does it hurt?” she asked. She brought her eyes to me before returning it back to my legs.

“No, it doesn't” I said, my eyes not blinking away from her.

I didn't care about the leg and didn't know if it hurt even though I knew it surely did.

I was busy staring at her face and I knew one thing which was certain about every other thing happening in my entire life right now.

I'm falling in love with this girl and I'll do everything to protect her even if it means breaking the blood bond I share with Ethan.
