Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Greedily Absorbing His Warmth

The rain was pouring.

Outside Prescott Hospital, Gregory Vaughn, who had been thrown out by the bodyguards, was almost exploding with anger!

As the current chairman of Radiant Group, he was considered a prominent figure in Stellerton, yet today he was treated like this by his own daughter!

What a thankless wretch...

In the past, Cecilia Vaughn had been humble for so many years. Couldn’t she continue to endure?

She insisted on opposing them!

After all, he had raised Cecilia Vaughn and Evan Vaughn to adulthood. Now it was time for them to properly repay him as their father!

Gregory Vaughn’s eyes deepened as he immediately dialed his lawyer’s number.

"Lawyer Lynch, have you prepared the equity transfer agreement I asked for last time?"

"Yes, would you like me to send you an electronic copy now?"

"Okay, the sooner the better!"

...

He had already arranged with Florence Warner to seize the equity assets that The Sutton Family had transferred to Cecilia Vaughn. During Fiona Vaughn’s engagement banquet, he planned to offer the assets belonging to Cecilia Vaughn as a gift to The Second Young Master Law to strengthen their alliance.

But now it seemed that Fiona’s engagement party was too late; the matter needed to be handled sooner. He couldn’t wait any longer.

From the beginning, Gregory Vaughn never treated his elder daughter as a person. Now, he was just one step away from finding an excuse to invite Cecilia Vaughn out to execute their plan.

What excuse should he use?

Gregory Vaughn leaned against a tree trunk, his cunning eyes revealed a sinister smile.

...

The heavy rain continued to fall. About a few kilometers away from Prescott Hospital, the streets were bustling with traffic.

And Cecilia Vaughn sat crouched on the ground without any image, without an umbrella, she looked like a lone leaf afloat in the rain, helpless and wandering.

Suddenly, an umbrella covered the top of her head.

The wind and rain ceased just like that.

Cecilia Vaughn, in a daze, lifted her head. The heavy rain had already soaked her eyes, blurring whether they were tears or rainwater.

And through the water misted vision, a lonely and stunning face was reflected.

"Cecilia, I’ll take you home."

The man’s slender and phoenix-like eyes were fixed on her, his demeanor sharp yet noble.

To take her home...

These four words touched the most fragile chord in Cecilia Vaughn’s heart. Her pale and thin cheeks trembled, the pretense of strength finally crumbled completely at this moment...

"Adrian..."

It turned out, she had a home.

A home with Adrian Law.

...

The girl’s voice was very low, even with a hint of crying Adrian Law had never heard before. Such a vulnerable Cecilia Vaughn, Adrian Law had never seen.

Man’s eyes flashed with panic, looking at the girl’s miserable appearance, he couldn’t suppress the pain in his heart.

"Cecilia, don’t be afraid, I’m here." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Cecilia Vaughn’s bloodless lips moved slightly, almost murmuring under her breath.

"Say it again, will you?"

"What?"

Adrian Law’s handsome brows furrowed, finally realizing what Cecilia Vaughn wanted.

"Cecilia, I’m here..."

The steady and powerful male voice echoed past her ear, Cecilia Vaughn sniffed, her voice almost drowned by the rain, even carrying a hint of pleading.

"Say it again."

"Cecilia, I’m here."

Adrian Law saw the fear and helplessness in Cecilia Vaughn’s almond eyes.

It turned out, even someone as strong as her could have moments of insecurity.

The feeling of heartache grew stronger, the man extended his large hand and immediately pulled Cecilia Vaughn into his arms.

Despite Cecilia Vaughn being completely drenched and messy at this moment, Adrian Law didn’t care at all.

His expensive custom-made windbreaker was soaked by Cecilia Vaughn’s rain-soaked body, but Cecilia felt a bit embarrassed. Sensing the girl’s discomfort, the man hugged her even tighter.

He held her waist tightly, almost wanting to merge her into his own flesh and blood.

"Cecilia, I’m here."

I will always be by your side.

Unaware of how many times he repeated "I’m here," the man was never tired of it.

...

Cecilia Vaughn leaned her head against the man’s shoulder, that once scarred heart seemed to be gradually warming.

So nice...

The girl greedily absorbed the warmth from the man, even unaware as her lips unconsciously began to lift.

—Nobody can be as strong as a diamond at all times. In prison, she feared every second that she might die.

During those terrifying days, she was just eighteen years old. How could she not want to be like normal girls, pampered by parents, loved by boyfriends, with everything going smoothly?

Life had given too many hardships, but at this moment, being held tightly by Adrian Law, seemed like those scars were also healing.

The man looked at the gradually stabilizing emotions of Cecilia Vaughn, his deep phoenix-like eyes squinted slightly.

"Cecilia, let me take you home."

Home, that word sounds so delightful.

Cecilia Vaughn was momentarily dazed, her lips slightly curved.

"Okay."

Seeing the girl nod obediently, Adrian Law’s somber mood improved significantly, he immediately removed his black windbreaker and draped it over the girl.

"Wear it, in case you catch a cold."

The unquestionable tone was so warm in the darkness of the night.

Cecilia Vaughn’s face turned slightly red, she silently gathered the man’s coat, and leaned a little closer to Adrian Law.

...

Adrian Law drove a Maybach to find her, and had even brought Cecilia Vaughn’s phone and wallet, which she had left in the hospital.

Sitting in the car, Cecilia Vaughn shyly asked a question.

"Did you search for me for a long time..."

On such a rainy day, she didn’t even have a contact.

Adrian Law shook his head gently, casually glossing over it.

"Just a short while."

Only Wyatt Law knew, after Cecilia Vaughn left alone, Adrian Law directly had the police station retrieve all surrounding monitors.

And the time and effort he spent, the young master never intended to tell her.

...

Just as Adrian Law was about to start the car, a little girl suddenly knocked on the window of the Maybach.

Adrian Law lowered the window.

"Big brother, buy a flower for the sister."

The simply dressed little girl looked at him with hopeful eyes, her face was full of rain, extremely messy, yet she carefully cradled a bouquet.

Adrian Law glanced at the remaining twenty-something red roses in the girl’s hands, and quickly nodded.

"Okay."

Before he could do anything, Cecilia Vaughn suddenly leaned over from the front seat, took out a few red bills from her wallet, and handed them directly to the little girl.

"I’ll take all these flowers, little sister, you should head home early."

"But... the money is too much."

Seeing the flower-selling little girl appear uneasy, Cecilia Vaughn simply stuffed the money into her hand.

"It’s alright, consider it a reward for being so industrious at such a young age."

"Be safe going home."

"Thank you, big sister!"

The girl bowed with joy repeatedly before leaving.

...

With the window down, Cecilia Vaughn smilingly offered the flowers to Adrian Law.

"Adrian, I’m giving you these flowers."

The man propped his head on one hand, looking at Cecilia Vaughn with great interest.

"Cecilia, do you know what giving red roses to the opposite sex means?"
