Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation-Chapter 1868 - 386: He Grabbed A Wrong Hand

Eric picked Crystal up and looked up and down to see if she was hurt.

She was fine, except for a small cut in the bare leg, which was not deep.

But as he squatted down to examine Crystal's leg, Crystal saw that there was blood coming out of his back.

"Eric, your back…" Crystal put her fingers to her lips in disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

"Your back is hurt!"

At this time, Christine trembled with anger on the second floor when she saw this. She didn't expect that Crystal would be so lucky and didn't get hurt at all.

Eric was in a trance as if he was just beginning to know the pain.

He hurt his back yesterday. It hurt at the touch, not to mention the glass.

Suddenly Crystal looked at Nathan.

Nathan wasn't her savior at this critical moment, but Eric was the one whom she always hated.

How ironic was this?

In the most critical juncture, a person would subconsciously reflex to save their favorite one. That was a completely mindless action because time was running out.

So, she was not Nathan's beloved one anymore.

Nathan's bleak eyes shone through the ruined hall, and he faced her.

"Nate." Mabel stood up. "Thank you for saving my life."

Nathan lowered his eyes. Damn it, Mabel reached out to shake Crystal's hand at the critical moment, so she covered Crystal's arm.

He grabbed the wrong hand and saved Mable instead of Crystal that he meant to save.

Time did not allow him to hesitate, and he could not tell whether he had saved the wrong person.

Soon the servants gathered around, and the guests looked quite shaken.

The servants tried to help Eric to the restroom, but he held out his hand to Crystal.

"Honey, help me."

Crystal hesitated for a moment and took his hand.

For an instant, her heart felt pain as if it had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

Every step she took to help him forward seemed unreal. She had only the impulse to cry.

Nathan wouldn't have liked Mabel.

In that case, however, he preferred to save Mabel and ignored her.

Crystal thought again about what he had done in his room the night before and what he had said to her. Nathan could easily have helped the Old Mrs. Bush, but he chose to embarrass her instead.

Yeah, how could she deserve him to do anything for her?

In his mind, Crystal was dead, and she also felt that her innocent and beautiful self had died.

"Why did the light suddenly fall?" Nathan growled coldly. "Check!"

"Yes, sir!"

This episode soon passed, and the party resumed, but Amos still did not appear.

Crystal helped Eric out of the hall and went to the restroom.

With a lot of glass sticking into Eric's back, Crystal took out a pair of scissors and cut open his coat carefully.

Even so, his body strained and gasped in pain as she touched the wound. Crystal was afraid to move when she saw him sweating all the time.

Eric chuckled softly. "Honey, your hand is shaking. What are you afraid of?"

"Are you dizzy with blood? Just let the doctor take care of it."

"I thought you would insist that I deal with it for you." He wouldn't let anyone get close to him if Nathan were hurt except her.

"You can deal with small wounds, but not big wounds. I'm afraid you will be scared." Eric smiled.

Soon the doctor ran quickly carrying the medicine box, followed by several nurses.

Crystal was afraid that she could not handle it well, so she stepped aside.

However, Eric refused the treatment and said, "My wife's foot is injured, please help treat her wound first, in case she gets tetanus."

"I am fine, check him first."

"Check her first! By the way, see if the baby is fine or not."

"I'll check both of you at the same time..." The doctor seemed to be unable to bear their humility, letting the nurse help him too.

The baby was safe, so the nurse disinfected her wound with alcohol and put on a hemostatic bandage. In fact, this was just a small wound, and Crystal could even treat it by herself.

But Eric was much different.

A bruised and swollen back was exposed when his clothes were cut out. A dozen pieces of glass shards of various sizes were inserted on his back, with deep and shallow wounds, blood flowing, which was extremely shocking.

Crystal just glanced at it, then looked away quickly because she couldn't watch it anymore.

"Darling, don't worry, it doesn't hurt."

"..." At this time, he still cared about her mood...

Crystal clenched her fists and walked close to the window to breathe.

She was so depressed that she almost suffocated.

"Mr. Bush, now we are going to pull out the glass. It will be more painful when we pull it out. If you really can't bear it, we can use an anesthetic..."

"Don't bother, just pull it out."

Crystal heard the sound of each piece of glass thrown into the tray. She closed her eyes forcefully, no matter how hateful things Eric had done to her, he had saved her life today.

"Master Davis."

The servant at the door called Nathan respectfully, then the door was pushed open.

Nathan came here, holding Mabel together.

Why was he here?

To add insult to their injury?

Did he come to laugh at them?

Crystal's back stiffened, she stared out of the window without looking back.

Nathan's sharp eyes scanned Crystal' body, like a scanner, to check Crystal' body from top to bottom...

She was standing while Eric was lying down.

Eric was surrounded by medical staff, which meant that Crystal was fine.

His eyes suddenly became fierce, then he hooked up the corner of his mouth coldly.

Eric turned his head slightly, saw Nathan, and sneered, "It's rare that Master Davis will come back to see me."

Nathan replied coldly, "I come to see if you are dead or not."

"It seems that you will be disappointed. I will live for a long time." Eric lay down leisurely.

With one hand in his pocket, Nathan looked at him coldly. He didn't speak, nor did he mean to leave.

Eric suddenly called Crystal, "Darling, I'm thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?"

Crystal was startled for a while, turned around and poured water, and brought it to Eric.

The nurse stopped the treatment.

"Can you drink it by yourself?" Crystal bent over and asked him.

"If you could feed me, I would be very happy."

Crystal forced herself to hold the water glass and feed Eric in front of Nathan.

Eric took a sip slowly, "The water that my darling poured is so sweet."

As Eric called 'my darling, let alone Nathan, even Crystal couldn't stand it.

Mabel obviously felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and the man beside her was stiff.

After Crystal fed Eric the water, Eric seemed to be thinking about something, "Darling, why the water you poured me so sweet?" 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Nathan naturally knew to whom Eric showed off his love and said mockingly, "I admire your sacrifice today."

"It's my duty."

"But isn't it unworthy to almost die for this kind of woman?"

Eric narrowed his eyes, "Whether it's worth it or not, it's completely up to me."

Nathan took out a small hard drive from his pocket, "If you see this, I am afraid that you will immediately regret and know how stupid you were today."

Crystal' body stiffened, "Nathan-"

Of course, she knew what was in the hard drive, how he could actually do this!

In the hall, the moment the chandelier fell, Crystal didn't care that he had just stood by and watched. But she had just escaped from death, why did he want to push her into hell again?

He just couldn't see her live well, right?
