Liang Jian Amal continued to hold her patiently . He had to restrain himself, he desperately wanted to check her injuries, but he knew she needed this release . So he knelt there, a rock for her in her storm of emotions .
---- ----
Chang sobbed against his shoulder, letting up all the darkness bottled inside her chest . If he hadn't been there . . . she hated to think what would have happened if Jian hadn't arrived when he did .
'Wait, how was he there . . ?' Chang looked up at Jian with her tear filled eyes, she wanted to ask him, but her voice wouldn't seem to work . She then looked at his shirt, she had just made a bloody, dirty mess out of . She was slightly embarrassed, realizing too that she was naked in front of him . Chang started to pull back out of his embrace, to try to cover herself .
The man held her tightly in his arms though, refusing to let her wiggle away . One of his hands firmly held the back of her head . The other hand slipped down her back, causing her to shiver at its touch, to dip into the water briefly . He sighed into her ear, ruffling the fine hairs there as he leaned forward . . Chang felt her face flush, 'ah, what's he doing?!' A second later she had her answer though .
He pulled the drain plug, and started to run fresh water into the tub, draining the water that was already dark . . Jian grabbed one of the small towels from the cabinet, and ran it under the tap . He then rocked back on his heels, so that he could see her face . Chang felt a little terrified at the enraged expression on his face, and flinched . His expression softened slightly seeing that he had scared her unintentionally .
Jian drew the wet cloth to her face, wiping as gently as he could, Chang couldn't help drawing away from his hand . Where it had touched her skin there was searing pain, like fire burning .
---- ---- ---- -----
Liang Jian Amal saw the pain in Chang's eyes after trying to wipe her bloodied cheek . His hand trembled with the influx of emotions that threatened to take over him .
He whispered hoarsely after a minute, "just stay still, i have to check your injuries . "
He could see that she wanted to reject him immediately,but after a minute of internal warring, she closed her eyes with her arms folded protectively across her chest . It hurt him to see her so on the defensive, but there was nothing he could do about that at the moment .
As soft as a baby breath he wiped the cloth across her face multiple times, revealing the tender bruised skin under all the blood and street grit . After her face he wanted to continue with her body, but as she was already so shy, he couldn't . At least right now .
Liang Jian Amal sighed, they had a lot of progress to recover together . He set down the cloth and stood .
" I have to make a phone call, finish your bath and ill clean up your injuries as soon as you're out . "
Eyes wide she silently nodded at him .
As soon as he stepped out, he whipped out his phone and punched his assistant's number in . After a few rings,he answered, sounding like he just rolled out of bed .
"yes Boss . "
"Get to the alley between xx street and xx, near Chang's work . There's two men unconscious in the alley way, I want them apprehended immediately! Also call lawyer Zhen, bury those two men . They are never to see the light of day again!" Liang Jian Amal snarled into the phone and immediately hung up .
He smoked a cigarette on the balcony, lost in his thoughts until he heard a voice from behind him all of a sudden .
"When did you start smoking?"
Liang Jian Amal saw her standing in the doorway, with an over-sized white towel wrapped around her damp hair dripping hanging loose, dripping around her . He immediately snubbed out the cigarette, turned and swept her up in his arms, and walked inside; ignoring her protests .
