Chapter 205
205 However , Celine couldnt fall asleep .
Soon , there was another lock on the door .
Who could it be this time ? Celine opened the door to find Leo , who had rushed over .
She stepped out into the hallway .
Leo , why are you here ? Leos expression grew more anxious .
Alvarez , Mr.
Alvarez was drugged at Tate Manor .
Please , you need to go to Lux Garden and check on him .
Didnt he ask you to find someone else for him ? Im not going Celine turned to head back into the room .
Alvarez ! Leo called after her .
Alvarez didnt mean it .
He said that on purpose just to provoke you .
Couldnt you tell ? Her hand froze on the doorimob for a moment Mrs.
Alvarez , do you remember the vacation villa ? That day , Mr.
Lynch took a hit for you .
But have you ever considered what Mr.
Alvarez went through ? His left hand was injured after trying to save you .
! Celine slowly turned back to face him .
What does his hand have to do with me ? Without hesitation , Leo pulled out his phone and tapped on the screen .
Alvarez , see for yourself.
She took the phone and played the surveillance footage .
The video showed her standing with her back to the chaos as one of Willies men lunged at her with a knife .
Adam threw himself forward at the critical moment , grabbing the sharp blade with his bare hand .
Celine froze .
She hadnt knowIL .
Alvarez , Mr.
Alvarez injured his hand for you .
After you slapped him that night, he stood outside this very hospital room all night long .
The next day , his hand needed 23 stitches .
The doctors said that if he had come in any later , his hand might have been permanently damaged .
That day , when the knife came at you , both Mr.
Alvarez and Mr.
Lynch rushed to protect you .
Lynch was closer , so he reached you first , Leo said .
Celine ! Celine ! In the footage , both Adam and Nathan could be heard shouting her name as they ran toward her .
Celines mind reeled .
That day was so chaotic that she hadnt realized it .
Without this video , she never would have known what had really happened .
Adam had never told her either .
She hadnt expected him to save her .
Why ? Didnt he hate her ? Her thoughts drifted back to the hallway earlier .
Celine , my hand hurts .
He had said it twice .
At the time , she had brushed it off , but now it was clear that he had been trying to show her his injury .
She had spent all her time with Nathan .
Celine let out a small , bitter laugh .
Adam could be so absurd sometimes .
w you with Mr.
He was angry , Leo added .
Alvarez , I know Mr.
Alvarez has said a lot of hurtful things to you .
But thats only because he saw Celine turned to look at him .
And why was he angry ? Leo replied reluctantly , Mrs.
Alvarez , you should ask Mr.
Alvarez yourself .
But I think he might have fallen for you .
Adam ? In love with her ? How was that even possible ? Celine dared not believe it .
He had forgotten his promise in the cave year him years ago .
Yet , she had held onto it .
He had cast her aside , and still , she had come to All this time , she had followed in his shadow , yearning for just a fraction of the love he so easily gave to Carly .
How could he like her ? Adam sat on the living room couch at Lux Garden , hals the discarded carelessly to one side , crumpled into a ball .
His sharp features were set in a grim scowl , his eyes clouded with darkness .
Suddenly , there was a soft click as the front door opened .
