Chapter 144 The Fall
Gianna shot Kate a glance. Although she didn’t want to admit it, Kate seemed to have pointed out the
truth. Rather than being afraid of Silas, she was just nervous, her heart leaping to her throat whenever
he spoke to her.
Gianna’s condition was fairly stable during her one-week stay at the hospital. Silas had stopped staying
overnight to take care of her, but he would pay her a visit every day. Meanwhile, Gianna started doing
things she never thought she would do in the past. For example, she would stay in the hospital garden
for a while every day. To make it easier for her, Silas got her a wheelchair and would even help her with
getting in and out of the wheelchair. Gianna found it awkward initially, but she got used to it later on.
Eventually, she came to the conclusion that she must have read too much into it. I guess that’s why I
felt that Silas was acting weird.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWould she find it awkward if Landon hugged her? No! She would even make him get into a more
comfortable position. So why would she reject it when it was Silas who did it?
Her embarrassment suggested that she had some unnecessary thoughts. Instead, she should be
forthright and treated him like how she treated Landon. Upon some convincing, she eventually
accepted it. After being discharged from the hospital, she spent two days working at her studio and
finally had some free time. All of a sudden, she felt that she should treat Silas to a meal. Be it thanking
him for taking care of her during her hospitalization, or fulfilling her promise, she should prepare a meal
for him.
On the same day, she put on some makeup to get ready to go to the supermarket. Just when she
entered the elevator, she bumped into Silas, who was going to work. Flashing a smile at him, she
greeted, “Hi, Mr. Nolan. I wanted to call you and tell you that I’m going to treat you to a meal tonight.” A
hint of surprise flashed across Silas’s gaze as his lips curved into a smile uncontrollably. I knew she’s
going to treat me to a meal! Smiling, he said, “Alright, where are you…” “I’m going to the supermarket.
What are your favorite dishes?” Gianna inquired. Silas couldn’t help smiling and sized her up. She was
wearing a white coat and a pair of stilettos, while the makeup looked perfect on her beautiful face.
Eventually, he couldn’t help but tease, “Aren’t you worried that you might twist your ankle if you go to
the supermarket in this outfit?” Gianna was rendered speechless. What is wrong with my outfit? I’m not
going to a wet market anyway. After I’m done with grocery shopping at the supermarket, I don’t even
need to carry the groceries myself as I will tell the delivery guy to send them to my home. Why can’t I
go to the supermarket in this outfit? So, she snorted, “I’m not worried at all!” The elevator doors opened
after she finished her words. Once she stepped out of the elevator, her left foot stamped on her right
foot as she fell down directly. In that instant, she closed her eyes and waited for her imminent fall as
she blamed Silas for jinxing her.
However, to her surprise, she fell into a pair of strong arms. Subconsciously opening her eyes, what fell

heart pounded against her chest. Just like a soap opera, the male lead managed to save the falling
female lead. Seeing such scenes on television when she was younger, she would urge the characters
to hug and kiss. However, when that happened to her in real life, she was utterly embarrassed as her
face flushed. Apart from her fall, she had also asserted that she would never fall down again.
How embarrassing! She didn’t even dare look at Silas, for he must be laughing at her. Lowering her
head, she replied in embarrassment, “l-I’m fine.” Silas’s lips curved into a smile, not because he was
laughing at her but because he simply found her adorable. Gianna couldn’t be described as adorable
as she never acted coquettishly, nor was her face the cute type. In fact, she didn’t need all of those to
get what she wanted.
