Chapter 219 Meeting Cain Both of them rested on the bed. Alston was afraid of hurting the wound on his back, so he lay on his side, looking at Cynthia intently.
When Cynthia opened her eyes and met his affectionate eyes, she blushed.
âDonât you sleep?â
âCynthia, I want...
âNo!â Cynthia interrupted him. âYou have an injury on your back.â
Alstonâs handsome face was full of smiles. âWhat did you say?â
âWhat?â Cynthia didnât react for a while.
âYou canât say no!â
His voice was hoarse. âI want to prove that I can do it. Even if my back hurts, I can do it better than anyone else.â
âYou!â Cynthia blushed even more and pulled up the quilt to cover her face.
Seeing that she was so shy, Alston smiled and didnât continue to tease her. Cynthia should have a good sleep today.
He hugged Cynthia into his arms, and gently stroked her hair.
âLetâs sleep.â
It didnât take long for Cynthia to fall asleep in his arms.
When Cynthia breathed steadily, Alston slowly opened his eyes and kissed her lightly, and then fell asleep leaning against her head.
When Cain learned what happened that day, he went to the Green family early the next morning to apologize.
âSorry, I didnât know that Tracy would do such a thing. It was my fault.â
Old Mr. Green and the other people in the Green family were all there. Looking at Cainâs face full of guilt, they were very gentle.
âIt has nothing to do with you. That woman hates Cynthia, and no one knew what she would do.â
Cain still felt sorry. Someone took the video of Tracy hitting Cynthia with the car. If Alston didnât save Cynthia, she might have been hurt.
âI should have sent someone to watch her. It was my fault. I didnât expect her to hold a grudge against Cynthia and do such a thing.â
Just as they were talking, Cynthia came down the stairs. She was wearing a pink and purple dress, looking very gentle.
When Old Mr. Green saw her coming down, he waved to her with a smile. âCynthia, come here. Cain feels guilty about what happened yesterday, and wants to apologize to you.â
As Cynthia smiled, she walked a little fast, and the corners of her skirt fluttered. Every time Cain saw Cynthia, he felt particularly good, and he had never had this feeling before.
Seeing that she was not injured, Cain breathed a sigh of relief and apologized again.
Cynthia smiled sweetly. âCain, I think the same as Grandpa.
Tracy did it, not you. She has been removed from your family, and what she does has nothing to do with you.â
âAlthough Iâm fine, Alstonâs back is injured, and Tracy must suffer a little.â
Her vicious look made everyone present laugh.
Lorenz patted her head. âDonât worry, I will never let her get away with it.â
Everyone was laughing, but Cain felt upset. Alston was really important in Cynthiaâs heart.
When Lorenz saw Cainâs subtle expression, he looked towards the stairs. âAlston came.â
Everyone turned their heads and saw Alston coming down. He had just finished washing, and the hair on his forehead was slightly wet. Although he was injured, he stood straight.
When he saw Cynthia, he smiled.
Cynthia ran in Alstonâs arms. Her voice was sweet, filled with annoyance. âIs the wound wet?â
Alston rubbed her hair and said softly, âOf course not. I didnât get a drop of water on the wound.â
âThatâs good.â The two cuddled together, sitting on the sofa next to Old Mr. Green. They didnât do any special movements, but there was a sense of intimacy, as if they were the only two people in the world.
Cain was a little restless. He hadnât felt this way since he took over George Group. He thought he was strong enough, but when facing Alston, he felt inferior, and he didnât like this. feeling.
Just as he was thinking, Cain suddenly felt a coldness in his body. He raised his head and met Alstonâs cold eyes.
Cain looked over, and the two of them were invisibly competing, and no one noticed except Lorenz.
âAlston, what about the company when you come to Coast City? I heard that many people in Jadney City want to deal with Smith Group.â
Alston withdrew his gaze slowly and answered Old Mr. Greenâs question with a smile, âI want to see Cynthia sooner, so Iâve finished the companyâs affairs. There are so many employees. Without me, the company will be fine. The people in Jadney City are too busy to take care of themselves now, and they donât have time to deal with Smith Group at all.â
Old Mr. Green nodded. Alston was good. He had the ability to protect Cynthia, and he loved her very much. Cynthia had found the right person.
found the right person.
When Old Mr. Green thought of Beck who made Lynn seriously ill, his gentle eyes became hostile.
Seeing the change in the old manâs expression, Alston knew what he was thinking. âGrandpa, Miller Group canât hold on for a few days. They didnât make the cooperation, and they will go bankrupt soon.â
Old Mr. Green nodded, very satisfied. âHe deserves it!â
Lorenz was afraid that the topic would turn to Lynn, so he quickly changed the topic.
Cynthia dragged Alston to the kitchen and whispered to him.
âWe havenât told grandpa and grandma about my motherâs death.â
Alston sighed and patted Cynthiaâs head. âYou donât need to hide it. Iâm afraid they have already found out.â
âNo way!â Cynthia exclaimed, panic flashing in her eyes. She lay at the door, looking at Grandpa and Lorenz having a happy conversation in the living room. It didnât look like he knew the truth.
âLorenz didnât find that they knew...â
Cynthia bit her lips and suddenly remembered that one morning, she saw her grandma and grandpaâs eyes were red and swollen, but they said they didnât sleep well at night.
and swollen, but they said they didnât sleep well at night.
Could it be that her grandma had heard what she and Lorenz said in the stairwell before and deliberately pretended not to know it, but she cried with grandpa all night?
Alston hugged her in his arms, and his voice was gentle. âWe donât need to hide it or expose it. In their hearts, your mother is still alive.â
When the two came out of the kitchen, they had tidied up their emotions.
Cynthia went to the garden outside and helped her grandmother to take care of the flowers and plants, while Alston sat back next to Old Mr. Green. When he heard Cain say that George Group was flourishing recently, he interrupted.
âMr. George, I heard that you have been looking for your brother Henry. Coincidentally, I found out his whereabouts. If you want to know, I can help you.â
