When she saw that it was Charles returning , she sweetly greeted him , " Mr. Lewis . " " Has Gavin still not woken up ? " Charles asked , just as Gavin opened his eyes . " Cecilia ? " His voice was hoarse . Charles frowned and sighed , helplessly saying , " Cecilia doesn't want to come . The misunderstanding between you two is something only you can explain to her . " Gavin didn't respond . Stella seized the opportunity to stir things up , " Cecilia is really too much . Mr. Foster got into a car accident because of her , and she can't even come to check on him . She clearly doesn't care about Mr. Foster . " Charles glared at her , his voice cold as he reminded , " Ms. Yates , the relationship between Gavin and Cecilia is not for you to judge . " No one knows better than I do how good Cecilia has been to Gavin . Remember your place , and stop speaking out of turn . " " Yes , Mr. Lewis . " Stella's expression was full of grievance after being scolded , and what hurt her more was that Gavin didn't . speak up for her . Gavin , feeling dizzy , closed his eyes to rest , yet he couldn't help but think , ' Yeah , everyone knows how much Cecilia loves me . I know that too . But why hasn't she come to see me? She must be struggling , not coming to care for me ! Later , Gavin drifted back into sleep . In his dream , he vaguely saw Cecilia sitting by his bed , watching over him .

After parking , she carried her groceries back , only to see a familiar figure standing at the villa's entrance . " Cecilia , are you worried about me ? " Gavin , wearing a hospital gown with bandages around his forehead , looked pale and weak . Cecilia stopped in her tracks and stared at him without answering . Gavin smiled at her , then glanced at the fresh ingredients she was holding . Confidently , he said , " I knew you'd care about me . Are you bringing me breakfast to the hospital ? Just open the door , I'll go in and eat . " 1/3 12.46 Tue , Aug 12 Chapter 18 94 % H 10 X +15 ) Cecilia found his confident words laughable . " You really did hit your head ; the injury must be serious . " " So you regret not coming to see me at the hospital yesterday , don't you ? " Gavin confidently concluded . The morning air was cold , and he had been standing there for a while . With both his calls and messages blocked , he had no way to reach her . " I didn't eat anything yesterday , and I've been waiting here for a long time . I'm a little cold . Could you make something hot for me ? " Gavin turned around , maintaining his usual arrogant attitude . Cecilia's expression hardened , her gaze turning cold . " This is my house . I didn't invite you in . You should go back to the hospital ." Gavin's smile immediately faded . Seeing her indifferent attitude , his emotions flared . " Are you still angry ? Do you know why I had the accident yesterday ? It was because I went to the bridal shop and saw the shredded wedding dress … " " If you saw it , you should understand my feelings , " Cecilia interrupted , her voice cold . " I've made myself clear . What more do you need to hear ? I don't want my life disturbed . Please leave . " Gavin's anger flared . He hadn't expected to be shut out so bluntly . " Cecilia , are you done with this ? Do you really want me to apologize first ? " He felt the pain in his head again , emotions overwhelming him , pressing him to compromise . " Fine , let's say it's my fault . I apologize now . Are you satisfied ? If I beg you , will you come back home with me ? " Cecilia remained unmoved . " No need . Your matters have nothing to do with me . " At that moment , Gavin felt a deep , frustrating anger . " I apologized . What more do you want ? " " I don't need your apology at all , you're the one who's lingering here , " Cecilia was running out of patience . She was worried the ice cream in the bag might melt . Gavin seemed not to hear her response and continued with his self - righteous analysis . " You're not happy because I placed Stella in the Secretary Division , right ? " Fine , I'll transfer you back . You can see with your own eyes that nothing happened between us . Is that enough ? " " I've resigned , " Cecilia responded coldly , rejecting him with every word . " Then don't resign . Come back to me , like before ! " Gavin snapped , losing control . " I told you , I never agreed to break up . Cecilia , do you want me to beg you ? I won't agree to the breakup or your resignation ! " Cecilia hadn't expected him to become so unreasonable . " Gavin , is your head damaged ? Why can't you understand ? " As she spoke , she tried to move around him to leave . Gavin blocked her path and grabbed her wrist firmly . His eyes were slightly red , and he spoke in a strained , low voice . " It's you who doesn't understand . As long as I don't agree with the breakup , we just can't break up . " In this relationship , he had always been used to being the dominant one .

" Let go of me first , I can't open the door . " Gavin sighed in relief . " Now you know how to behave ? If you want me to comfort you , just stop when you get what you want . A little temper is fine , but don't use a breakup to threaten me . Alright , this matter is over now . " With those words , Gavin calmed his anxious emotions . He was sure that Cecilia still cared about him , just pretending to be indifferent . " I haven't been sleeping well lately . After breakfast , can you stay with me for a while ? " Gavin asked . Cecilia didn't respond . She opened the door and stood in the doorway , saying , " Wait here . " Gavin was confused at first , but then he noticed the construction materials piled up in the villa's yard . " Your villa's still under renovation and messy , huh ? You're always so considerate , knowing I'm injured and can't deal with the dust . Alright , let me know when you're done , and I'll come in , " Gavin said . Cecilia didn't deny it . As soon as she entered the villa , she immediately dialed the hospital . " Your patient has escaped ."
