Chapter 386 Am I Being Cared About? Hmm?
Under the glow of the fire,he moved swiftly, looking handsome. With a kick, he sent the animal flying, its massive body crashing to the ground.
He strode towards her. In the darkness of the night, he appeared like a king descending from the heavens, exuding a domineering and calm air.
Seeing him, she felt a sense of relief.
"How are you?" He crouched down in front of her, checking her injuries.
Quickly, he noticed the wound on her leg, furrowing his brows, saying, "You don't have any fractures, but the injury is severe. It's best not to move for now. I'll find something to treat you."
He searched for usable items around him.
Anna watched his agile posture and handsome face, realizing that he not only possessed great capabilities in the business world but also had excellentskills to deal with crisis. She was about to say thank you when she saw the animal on the ground suddenly getting up again, charging towards Giorgio. Its momentum was even fiercer than before!
"Giorgio! Be careful!!!" Anna panicked, shouting, "It seems weird. Please quickly get away from it."
Normally, animals on the mountain wouldn't attack humans on their own, especially in this irrational frenzy. Giorgio, of course, also realized that something was amiss. He dodged to the side, rolled swiftly, and evaded the attack of the massive creature. Drawing out a stagger, he prepared to deliver a fatal blow when it came at him again. However, to his surprise, the massive creature didn't attack him again but instead lunged fiercely towards the nearby Anna!
"Anna!"
Giorgio's eyes flashed coldly. Disregarding killing it his first instinct was to protect Anna. He swiftly threw himself in front of Anna, the massive creature crashing into his back with tremendous force. He grunted, rolling continuously,but his arms around Anna never loosening, always shielding her.
Anna's world was in chaos. She could only hear the chaotic sounds around her. Her face was pressed tightly against his chest, making it hard for her to breathe. After what seemed like a long time, they finally came to a stop.
Anna asked anxiously in a soft voice, "Giorgio, are you fine? Did you get hurt?"
In reality, she knew she was talking nonsense. Considering how far they had been rolled by the impact, he couldn't possibly be unharmed.
Giorgio, lying on top of her, didn't move,
"Why? Are you concerned about me?"
His voice was low, with a hint of allure.
Anna's heart skipped a beat.
'Of course, she was concerned about him, afraid of him getting hurt, but...
'It was because he saved her!' She thought.
"Yes, it's because you saved me, so I care about you and I feel indebted."
Giorgio's arm around her tightened slightly, "Just because of that?"
He wanted to hear a different answer.
In such close proximity, Anna could smell his intoxicating scent, feeling the subtle movements of his body when he spoke.
She lowered her eyelashes, "Yes."
Giorgio's dark eyes grew even darker in the night.
Feeling Anna wanting to move away from under him, he said in a deep voice, "Don't move. Let's stay quiet like this., because it won't attract it over."
Anna also understood this principle, softly replying, not moving a bit while nestling in his embrace.
However, with his 6-foot tall stature, muscular and solid, she not only felt a bit breathless but also cramped under his envelopment.
She wanted to adjust her position, but any slight movement would only make their bodies press against each other even tighter.
If there were light, one could surely see her cheeks, now as red as an apple.
Time passed quietly.
Suddenly, Anna realized something, "Oh no, if it's not attacking us, could it be going after Giuseppe?"
Giuseppe was unconscious now, covered in blood, which could easily provoke that animal and other animals.
"No, I have to go save Giuseppe," Anna said anxiously, pushing Giorgio aside.
Giorgio fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his back, furrowing his brows and grabbing her hand,
"Are you out of your mind? He's unconscious. It might not even notice him."
Anna said, "But he's still bleeding, and earlier, it attacked me even when I wasn't moving. It will definitely attack Giuseppe too. You stay here and don't move. I'll go to check. if it's safe, I'll quietly come back."
"What if it really attacks Giuseppe?" Giorgio asked in a hushed tone.
This question caught Anna off guard, not knowing how to respond, "If that happens, I'll fight it to the death."
"Just you?" Giorgio sneered, sitting up, "You're so worried about him?"
In the dark night, they couldn't see each other, but their senses were heightened.
Anna felt the warmth of his large hand, burning on her skin.
She breathed slightly faster, explaining, "He got hurt because he came to find me, so I'm worried about him. ."
This was the same as her previous answer to him.
Giorgio raised his lips, "So, to you, both he and I mean the same ?"
Anna's expression stiffened.
'How could he and Giuseppe mean the same to her?'
He was the father of Charlie and Penny, whom she had made love with twice.
Even if she tried not to think about it, this was an unchangeable fact. And Giuseppe, he was the man who saved her in a time of danger, also very important.
But these two meanings were different. She didn't answer.
Giorgio's expression gradually darkened, propping himself up,
"You stay here. I'll go check."
"Are you okay? I thought you were seriously injured." Anna worried.
Giorgio was indeed injured.
However, he couldn't let her, who was powerless, go to save Giuseppe.
"It's okay. You shall stay put."
With those words, he walked forward in the darkness.
Anna stayed in place. Listening to Giorgio's footsteps fading away, she leaned against a tree, massaging her legs.
Earlier, with Giuseppe in front of her, she had only suffered minor bruises from the impact, which could be eased by massaging.
She didn't want to become a burden to Giorgio later.
After about half an hour, Anna felt her legs had improved significantly, but Giorgio hadn't returned yet. She hesitated whether to go check on him.
'If I stayed put, I would have nothing to do.
'If I went, I might not be able to help Giorgio and become a burden.
'Forget it, I decided to go! At least when he was confronting that massive creature, I could pull Giuseppe away."Ann thought.
Thinking of this, she picked up a sharp stick, feeling her way in the dark.
After walking a few steps, a fire lit up not far away.
Through the firelight, she vaguely saw the tall figure of Giorgio walking towards her.
His steps heavy, his once clean white shirt now wrinkled, torn, and stained with blood!
His handsome face was also scratched, blood streaks visible!
In the firelight, he looked extremely frightening!
"Giorgio! What happened to you!" Anna didn't care about anything else, running towards him quickly.
Reaching him, she was shocked by the wounds on his face and the blood all over him, emanating a strong smell of blood.
Her eyes welled up with tears,
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you go, it's all because of me."
She kept apologizing, tears streaming down her crystal eyes. Giorgio stared at her helplessly.
Her worries, anxieties and tears, seemed like feathers falling on his heart, plucking at his heartstrings.
He raised his hand, grabbing the back of her head and pulling her into his embrace,
"You said you weren't worried about me, then why are you crying?"
