Chapter 430 I Like You
The woman's voice was weak and emotional.
Leaning on him, she was fragile and thin, her body twitching from the wound.
Giorgio could feel the warm, sticky blood on his palm.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
"Don't talk, I'll get you to the hospital!"
At the hospital, the doctor worked for half an hour before Anna, now treated, was moved to a VIP room.
The nurse applied medicine, and the air reeked of formalin.
Giorgio asked coldly, "How's the injury? Is it serious?"
The doctor replied, "The wound is deep and needs careful care, especially in this heat. She can only sleep on her stomach and must watch for infection. But don't worry, it hasn't affected muscles or bones, and it's not life-threatening."
Giorgio felt relieved.
He knew the wound wasn't fatal, but seeing it on Anna made him lose his cool.
After the doctor left, he got a basin of hot water and gently wiped the sweat and blood off Anna.
Under anesthesia, Anna was still asleep, lying on the bed, whose face was pale, and lips were dry.
He gently brushed her face, his touch tender.
Anna groaned softly and opened her eyes to see his handsome face.
She thought she was dreaming.
He was so gentle.
"Awake? How do you feel?" Giorgio asked softly.
Anna smelled his clean scent and realized it wasn't a dream.
"I remember now. You and Charlie were kidnapped, and I went to save you."
Looking around, she was surprised.
"We got out?"
"Yes," Giorgio answered coldly, staring at her.
"Who gave you the guts to go alone? And then come back?"
She should have found help.
Anna complained softly, "Didn't Charlie say your identity shouldn't be exposed? I didn't think that much. Forget it, you don't like anything I do. You can go back, I'll have Lucia take care of me."
She reached for her phone, but the wound hurt, and she frowned.
"Don't move."
Giorgio pressed her down, his tone rising.
"What do you mean I don't like anything you do? I never said that."
Anna met his gaze. "Isn't it true? You insulted me before, wiping your hands after touching me."
Thinking about it, her heart ached.
"Mr. Vittorio, I think it's better for us to stay as we were."
Giorgio frowned.
"Is that what you really think?"
"Yes."
At least that seemed right.
Her nod made Giorgio's face darken. "Then you shouldn't have come back, risking your life to save me. Do you think my world is so casual, coming and going as you please?"
His slightly angry voice showed his dissatisfaction.
Anna felt wronged and pursed her lips.
"I didn't come and go as I pleased. I just hadn't thought it through and didn't have the courage, so I tested the waters to find confidence. Saving you was just because I didn't want anything to happen to you. Liking you without courage, worrying about you, and saving you were all mistakes, right?"
Her words echoed clearly in the ward.
Giorgio was shocked, frowning.
"What did you say?"
Anna was speechless.
So she had said so much, and he hadn't listened at all.
How disrespectful!
Of course, to someone who felt dirty touching her, he wouldn't respect her.
"I didn't say anything, I want to sleep."
Before she could finish, Giorgio leaned down and kissed her hard.
His actions were forceful yet tender.
Anna was stunned.
He was kissing her as he always loved.
She wanted to resist, but moving hurt her wound.
Giorgio adjusted his position, lying on the bed, pulling her onto him, and continued kissing.
His gentle actions, fresh scent, and mature charm surrounded her like a warm cloud, making her lose control.
Suddenly, a phone rang, vibrating.
Anna instantly woke up, looking at him with bright eyes.
"Your phone."
Giorgio took it out, saw it was Tony, and answered, "I'm fine, take care of Charlie, report tomorrw if there is nothing special."
Then, he hung up and continued holding her head, about to kiss again.
"No, don't!"
Anna shook her head, refusing, her eyelashes fluttering, cheeks flushed.
"Mr. Vittorio, we..."
"What? Reject me again?" Giorgio interrupted, eyes burning.
"Anna, you said you liked me before."
Anna was stunned.
Then she realized she had said, 'like you, worry about you.'
Her heart raced.
"That was a slip of the tongue, not thinking before speaking."
"No matter how it was said, since you said it, don't think about taking it back," Giorgio said firmly, biting her lip.
Planning to kiss deeper, the phone rang again.
"Damn it."
He cursed irritably, letting her go.
"You lie down, I'll handle this."
Reluctantly, he got up and walked out.
Anna felt embarrassed, her face red.
Why was she so attracted to his scent before? Unable to react! And said such foolish words like liking him!
Outside, Giorgio answered the phone, "What is it?"
Just three words, but the coldness was evident.
Tony felt uneasy, quickly said, "Mr. Vittorio, it's not a big deal, it's just that Charlie has been crying and fussing, wanting to hear your and Ms. Stefanelli's voices. No matter how I comfort him, he doesn't believe me."
Giorgio didn't expect Charlie to interrupt his time with Anna.
"Let him take the call."
"Okay. Charlie, take the call."
Charlie got the phone, immediately sobbing.
"Daddy, are you and Auntie Anna okay? Are you hurt or in trouble? Is that why Uncle Tony won't let me see you? Daddy, let me come to you, I can handle it, I miss you."
The little boy cried sadly.
Giorgio's lips tightened, his voice deep.
"We are safe. Your Auntie Anna and I are bonding, we don't need you to interrupt."
"Really! Really bonding?"
Charlie was shocked, eyes wide in disbelief.
Giorgio said, "Do you need to come and see for yourself? Interrupt us?"
"No no no! I'll hang up!"
The call was quickly disconnected.
The air finally fell silent.
Giorgio put away his phone and walked back to the ward.
Seeing Anna lying on the bed, her body curvaceous, with a slender waist and raised hips, his throat moved, he looked away, adjusted his breathing, and walked over.
"Hungry?"
Anna felt very awkward at this moment.
She didn't want to face him, didn't know how to face him, covering her head, she said, "Not hungry, not thirsty, don't need anything. I'm very sleepy, going to sleep."
Giorgio's eyes squinted.
He walked over, sat down, put on disposable gloves, and started peeling fruit for her, asking, "Do you plan to avoid me forever? How long can you hide?"
