Chapter 121 Eleanor shook her head. Her back injury wasnât as severe as the bleeding wound on the back of his head.
âYouâre pretty banged up, letâs go to the hospital.â
Eleanorâs hands were covered in his blood, the bright red color reminded her of the night when he got hit by a car five years ago.
This only made her feel more guilty â both times, he got severely injured trying to save her. She couldnât understand why Jason was so protective of her.
âAlrightâ
Jason nodded, and as he carried her through the banquet hall, a few bodyguards saw them and immediately surrounded them.
Seeing how injured Jason was, the bodyguards were extremely guilty for not being able to protect him and kept apologizing.
Jason, however, didnât care. He instructed them to take Josef to the police station before quickly heading toward the hotel lobby.
Eleanor wasnât dressed, but luckily, Jasonâs coat was large enough to cover her tiny frame.
However, she still felt a bit embarrassed and afraid that people coming in and out of the hotel would see her, so she buried her head deep in Jasonâs chest.
As she hid in his arms, a group of bodyguards suddenly entered the hotel lobby, blocking their way. There were probably over twenty of them.
Jason immediately stopped and looked towards the hotel entrance there was a man getting out of a Lincoln limousine.
The man wore a black suit with a black coat, and under the dim lights, he looked like a statue.
He stood there, staring at them with cold eyes.
âMr. Clowers.â
Hearing that familiar voice, Eleanorâs face turned pale.
She didnât have time to think about why Bernard would be here, she just buried her head deeper in Jasonâs chest.
She thought that by doing so, he wouldnât see her, but those cold eyes were still staring at her relentlessly.
Jason could naturally feel Bernardâs hostility, but didnât know where it was coming from.
âMr. Laurence, what do you want?â
He couldnât recall ever offending Bernard, so why would he send so many bodyguards to surround them?
Bernard walked up to them and, as his gaze moved downwards, saw Eleanorâs exposed body.
His handsome face instantly turned gloomy, and even his eyes were filled with cold light.
âHand her over to me.â
His eyes were fixated on Eleanor, not moving.
Seeing such a gaze, Jason, being a man as well, understood its meaning.
He held Eleanor tightly, took a step back, and his eyes revealed a hint of possessiveness.
âMr. Laurence, whatâs your relationship with her and why do you want me to hand her over to you?â
Bernard sneered and glanced at Eleanor before saying:
âDo you want to go with him, or with me?â
He couldnât even be bothered to answer Jasonâs question, just giving Eleanor the choice.
Eleanor felt her heart leaping to her throat as those eyes stared at her.
She thought Bernardâs visit to the hotel was for other reasons and didnât expect it to be for her.
Eleanor was at a loss and even her gaze when looking at him was filled with confusion.
Bernard had never revealed their relationship in front of anyone before, and this was the first time.
What was going on with him?
*She doesnât even know you, so thereâs no way sheâs going with youâ
Jasonâs hand held Eleanor tightly, as if wanting to blend her into his body.

He had already guessed the relationship between the two but didnât want to think too deeply about it.
He was afraid that once he dived into this, he wouldnât be able to accept it, so he chose to pretend not to know.
Eleanor sensed Jasonâs uneasiness and finally regained her composure âMr. Laurence, Iâm sorry, but I canât go with you.â
Since Jason had just been injured for her, she needed to accompany him to the hospital for treatment. So, she gathered the courage to refuse Bernard.
