Chapter 229
When she said these words, Reynaldo’s sharp gaze flickered towards the medicine in my hand.
I steadied my mind and smiled at Kimberly, saying, “Yeah, this body of mine is the body of a rich young lady. I’ve been used to living a good life. But once I go bankrupt and become destitute, my body will protest first.”
So, it’s not unusual for me to come to the hospital often, but Ms. Duffy, you should really take good care of your health.
After all, it is a chronic illness that I have had since childhood, but it is difficult to cure, who knows…
“Esmeralda!”
Reynaldo suddenly shouted and grabbed my collar.
I was startled, staring blankly at the sudden coldness and hostility that appeared in his eyes. My heart twitched uncontrollably.
I didn’t say anything excessive.
It was Kimberly who first sarcastically said about me, so why can’t I say about her?
I didn’t curse her to death, why is he staring at me so coldly?
The heart felt sour and unbearable, the affair from last night until this morning, now thinking about it, it is also ironically laughable.
I faced the anger in his eyes and said, “What, did I say something wrong? Did I curse her to death or something?”
“Shut up!”
The man spoke in a cold and low voice, with anger filling his brow
The pain in my chest became increasingly unbearable, to the point where it felt difficult to even breathe.
At this moment, Kimberly was standing beside him, crying and saying. “Reynaldo, don’t be like this. She didn’t say anything wrong. My illness is indeed incurable.”
As she said, my life, I’m afraid, didn’t have much time left.
I glared at her with disgust.
When did I say such a thing?
I couldn’t help but angrily say, “With your constantly sickly, weak, and hesitant appearance, you don’t even need someone else to say you have a short life, you…”
“Esmeralda!”
Reynaldo suddenly approached me, gripping my collar tightly, his deep cold eyes staring straight at me, “Shut your mouth.”
I looked into his eyes filled with coldness, and my heart felt a sharp pain.
The tip of the nose felt sour, and a glimmer of tears quickly welled up in the eyes.
I hurriedly lowered my head, not wanting him to see the tears in my eyes.
I snorted coldly, “If you want me to shut up, then you make her shut up first!”
Which time was it not that woman who caused trouble first?
Why does he always talk about me? Why?!
“Reynaldo…”
Kimberly suddenly tugged at Reynaldo’s arm and said pretentiously. “Stop it, after all. Ms. Dully didn’t say anything wrong, don’t do it for me…”
“Shut up! Don’t you feel disgusted by pretending like this?!” I yelled at her in exasperation.
But in the next second, Reynaldo suddenly grabbed my collar tightly and forcefully pressed me against the wall.
He stared at me with a sinister look and said, “I told you to shut up, why can’t you just listen.”
“Then you make her shut up, it was her who spoke ill of me first, why do you always tell me to shut up?”
I don’t know why. At that moment, the grievance in my heart reached its peak.
I even choked up with a hint of sob in my voice.
But I didn’t want to be like this, I didn’t want to show such vulnerability in front of Reynaldo.
This vulnerability did not earn him any sympathy, only mockery.
He stared at me intently, and in his sinister eyes, there suddenly flashed a hint of complexity that I couldn’t comprehend.
Of course, I didn’t want to understand either.
At this moment, I detested everything about him and Kimberly.
I tried my best to suppress the grievances and bitterness in my heart, and I
coldly said to him, “I didn’t want to say much to you in the first place. I didn’t even want to see you.”
“I’m leaving, let go of me!”
Reynaldo didn’t move, and that big hand still tightly grasped my collar
I couldn’t help but kick him and said, “I told you to let go of me! Don’t worry, I won’t mention your White Moonlight anymore, and I won’t pay attention to you guys anymore.”
“You’d better quickly turn your relationship with your beloved into a success. being affectionate and inseparable, and stop bothering me!”
Reynaldo’s hand, which was gripping my collar, tightened even more, and his gaze suddenly turned ice–cold.
I faced his cold eyes and said word by word, “Let me go!”
“Reynaldo…”
“Shut up!”
At that moment, just as Kimberly called out to him, he suddenly growled at Kimberly.
Kimberly was visibly startled, seemingly not expecting Reynaldo to be aggressive towards her.
