Chapter 72: Why Did He Come Back?

Half an hour later, several cars passed Kendra one by one, and she could only walk as slowly as possible. She knew she couldn't walk back. It was impossible. What should she do? Kendra thought for a while and tried to get help from passing cars, but none of them stopped to let her in. Kendra had to continue to walk. She didn't expect that anyone would help her. Soon, her ankles got swollen.
"Shit!" Kendra cursed and sat down on the road. As she took her phone out and wondered who she could call, a car stopped in front of her. Kendra raised her head and saw Lendon put the window down and stare at her.
Looking at his face, Kendra felt so angry. Why did he come back?
"Miss Miller, please get in." Curtis got off and invited her. He walked to her and wanted to help her stand up.
"No." Kendra pushed Curtis away. She was in no mood to accept any kindness after what Lendon had done to her.
"Miss Miller, just get in," Curtis said vaguely.
"No!" Kendra refused again. She was not a thing that Lendon could throw away and get back freely. She also had dignity. She felt aggrieve.
Curtis felt embarrassed and glanced at Lendon's side. Lendon didn't look at Kendra, but he bit his lips tightly. Obviously, he was pissed off. Kendra could tell Lendon's mood clearly, but she didn't care. What could he do to her?
"Miss Miller, please get in," Curtis begged her helplessly. How could they argue so frequently that later on make him receive the losing end? Why did no one care about him? He was just a poor old man!
"Curtis, leave me alone," Kendra growled.
Before Curtis said anything, Lendon got off and lifted Kendra immediately.
"What are you doing?" Kendra glared at Lendon. She was shocked by what he had done.
"If you say one more word, I will drop you down," Lendon warned and walked to handrails along the cliff.
Kendra looked down and shouted, "Are you crazy?"
"You dare to shout at me again?" Lendon threatened her.
Kendra trembled and held Lendon's neck tightly, "Please, I don't want to die." She begged. Lendon must get mad. How could he punish her in this way?
"Answer my question." Lendon stared at her, trying to suppress his laughter, seeing Kendra's scared face.
"No, I will never shout at you again," Kendra said quickly. Her face turned pale. She must give in now.
Lendon smiled with satisfaction, and he carried Kendra to the car.
Kendra finally felt relieved. She patted her chest and tried to calm down.
"If you will get angry with me again, I won't come back to help you again." A clear warning came out from Lendon's mouth.
Kendra looked at him seriously and said nothing.
He was so hateful! She thought in silence.
"Come closer to me." Lendon held Kendra's hand and said.
Kendra frowned and moved her body slowly. However, she still hurt her ankle accidentally and screamed.
"What's up?" Lendon looked to her feet and asked, "I thought you recovered. What's wrong?"
Kendra didn't answer his question. It was Lendon's fault to make her feet swollen like this.
Lendon put Kendra's legs on his lap and massaged them softly.
Kendra looked at him in surprise. Sometimes, she couldn't understand him. He often got mad at small things yet later showed his gentleness.
Lendon checked Kendra's swollen feet and said, "Curtis, find a hospital."
"Yes, sir," Curtis ordered the driver to find a nearby hospital.
When they got to the hospital, it was almost dark.
After half an hour, Kendra jumped out of bed.
"Can't you call me? Your feet were severely hurt, don't you know that? You are not a rabbit that can jump freely!" Lendon complained to her, face was gloomy. This woman often pissed him off.
Kendra lowered her head and remained silent.
"Don't do it again." He lifted Kendra up, afraid that she'll get hurt again.
Kendra stared at Lendon and felt strange. She didn't say a word to him for now, but he seemed not to care. He just kept warning her but took care of her at the same time. What was he doing?
"Lendon," Kendra called Lendon's name suddenly.
"What?" Lendon asked.
"Why did you come back?" She needed to know his answer. Why did he push her out of the car but returned again to pick her up? She wanted to know his thoughts. Why suddenly change?
"You are too naughty, so I push you out. But… but I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you walk on the road alone, so I am obliged to return." Lendon said coldly.
"You worried about me?" Kendra guessed.
"Shouldn't I? What if something bad happened to you?" Lendon asked back, not looking at her.
Sure, it must be dangerous for her to be alone on the road. Lendon should worry about her. On the other hand, Kendra felt Lendon was not so hard to communicate with sometimes. He was just too bossy and arrogant.
"I am not in a good mood today. I am sorry." Kendra apologized. She acted impulsively towards Lendon today.
Hearing Kendra's words, Lendon halted his pace and stared at her face.
"Why do you stare at me?" Kendra looked away, blushing.
"You finally said something I'd like to hear," Lendon said softly.
After staring at her for a moment, Lendon suddenly felt attracted to her. He put her down and pressed her on the wall. Though there were many passersby, Lendon grabbed Kendra's chin and kissed her lips passionately, ignoring people around them.
It seemed that Lendon had been addicted to her. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't touch Kendra for a day. It was getting more and more serious.
"Lendon." Kendra blushed and tried to push him away.
Lendon didn't let Kendra go and continue devouring her lips.
People started discussing them. Some of them even stopped and stared at the couple.
Kendra felt so embarrassed. She pushed Lendon away with all her strength and took a deep breath.
"Kendra!" Lendon was not satisfied with what Kendra did.
"Lendon, we are in hospital now," Kendra said helplessly.
"Okay, we will go home now." Lendon held Kendra again and walked out of the hospital.
Bianca saw everything clearly in a corner nearby. She frowned and wondered what happened between Kendra and Lendon.
"Bianca, what are you doing here? Your dad is looking for you." Marga walked out of Robert's ward and followed her daughter.
"Okay, I am coming." Bianca turned around and walked to her mom, but the images of Lendon and Kendra kissing passionately make her felt a bit jealous.
***
When they got back to the castle, Lendon held Kendra to the bathroom directly. He put her down carefully and told a maid to prepare hot water. Then, he gestured to help Kendra take her clothes off personally.
"What are you doing? Wait!" Kendra grabbed her collar and asked cautiously.
"I need to help you take a shower." Lendon casually uttered.
"No, no need. I can do it on my own." Kendra shook her head hastily.
"Look at your feet! How can you do it alone?" Lendon reminded Kendra, and in a grieved tone, he narrated.
"But..."
"Kendra!" Lendon's voice began to rise.
Kendra lowered her head and shut her mouth.
"Don't be shy. I have been familiar with your body." Lendon said and wanted to take Kendra's clothes off.
Kendra grabbed Lendon's hand and smiled. "I can do it alone. My feet hurt, not my hands." She stubbornly argued again.
"No." Lendon refused. He took Kendra's all clothes off from shirt to underwear and put her into the tub.
Kendra closed her eyes and felt shy. She never used a man's help to take a shower before. Her heart was beating so quickly that he could even hear it. Lendon never helped any woman to take a shower before, either. He was not familiar with it, but he enjoyed doing it with Kendra.
The atmosphere got heated inside the bathroom. Lendon rubbed Kendra's body slowly and a naughty smile formed at the corner of his mouth. He stared at Kendra's body as if admiring a piece of art.
"Can you be quick?" Kendra asked faintly. The water and Lendon's hand were both too hot. She felt like her skin got scalded.
Lendon ignored Kendra's complaint. Finally, Kendra couldn't bear it anymore. She put her hands on the tub and managed to stand up. If she stayed in the water longer, she would be burned.
Kendra lost her balance and almost fell down. Lendon tried to grab Kendra, but he fell into the tub, too. They made a loud noise.
"Mr. Martin, are you okay?" The maids heard the noise and asked worriedly.
"We are fine," Kendra uttered. She felt her waist almost break apart as she landed on the tub beneath Lendon's body. They are in an awkward position, and she could feel his groin grow immediately, slamming on her lower body. They are both panting.
"We will prepare dinner for you now. Please call us after you finish." The maids left immediately. They knew what happened inside the bathroom and wouldn't dare to disturb the couple.
Lendon quickly raised his body, sat opposite Kendra, and smiled evilly.
"What are you looking at?" Kendra rubbed her waist and complained.
Lendon also got wet. His shirt stuck to his chest and his perfect body looked so damn hot.
"It's your fault. My waist seemed to hurt." Kendra looked away and complained.
Lendon said nothing but just stared at her.
Before Kendra can say something more, Lendon pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and claimed her slightly open mouth.
