Chapter 1560
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Dragged by Wesley, Blair felt embarrassed as they walked through the crowd of students. But the pain
in her arm was so intense she could scarcely put up a fight. Bowing her head, she just Let him take her
to the sink.
Joslyn pondered her options, but in the end, she decided against following them. Blair was alone with
the man she loved. Why was she to get in the way?
She then turned around to get even with the boy student. Lenard had told the boy to pour some mineral
water onto his slight scald. Joslyn told him off angrily, âThis is the school cafeteria! Why would you run
around like a wild animal in here? Do you know what you did to Blair?â
The boy student didnât mean to hurt Blair. He felt guilty and apologized quickly, âIâm really sorry. I didnât
mean to. Sorryâ¦â
Before she could harangue him more, a girl student suddenly interrupted her and asked curiously,
âJoslyn, what is it with Blair and Wesley, anyway? He seems to care for her a lot.â
âI know, right? He carried her to the clinic when she got heatstroke the other day. He even stayed there
with her!â another girl said.
So now they were gossiping about Blair and Wesley.
Wesleyâs men wanted to go over and check on Blairâs wound. But hearing what the girls had said, they
all froze on the spot and contented themselves with just watching at a distance.
The two had already reached the sink. Wesley had turned on the faucet and placed Blairâs arm under
the running water.
They observed their leader carefully. His face wasnât as cold as usual, but instead, there was a hint of
tenderness.
Wesleyâs men couldnât believe their eyes. They stopped staring and averted their eyes, not wanting to
be caught looking.
âCould it be true? Is he a softie?â
Bowman felt hard to believe it.

âCould beâ¦â He had never seen Wesley treat a woman like this.
Although, as soldiers, they didnât see too many women, Bowman saw how
Wesley behaved around Megan. This was different. They used to tease him about Megan, and Wesley
would silence them with his death stares.
Not privy to Bowmanâs thoughts, Joslyn merely glared at the nosy girls and said, âWhy are you even
talking about this? Canât you see Blairâs hurt?â
The girls felt a Little guilty. Begrudgingly, they went back to their seats to continue eating.
But Wesley and Blair were unaware theyâd drawn any attention to themselves. They were more
concerned with healing her burns. When Blair bowed her head, a few teardrops fell into the sink, joining
the running water from the tap.
âThanks. If it werenât for you, I donât know what Iâd do,â she said, trying to sound as calm as possible.
âItâs okay.â He noticed the tears, and his face turned grim. For the first time in his life, he didnât know
what to do next.
He had seen women cry many times. Each time he went on missions, he would see tons of women
crying hysterically in the face of danger or catastrophe. But all he needed to do was make sure they
were safe. He wasnât ordered to help them feel better. This wasnât something he was used to.
He saw Megan cry, too-a lot. The tiniest thing would open the floodgates. But most of the time, when
Megan cried, he would let Damon handle it or call Curtis, the patient gentleman, to comfort her.
Watching Blair, he had an overwhelming desire to do something or say something. So he tried.
âHeyâ¦heyâ¦you were held hostage with a knife to your neck. You were brave then. Why are you crying
now? Itâs just a little scald. Maybe youâre not a fan of my first aid skillsâ¦â
