Although her tone was calm, her heart was filled with immense sorrow.
Ever since her son got involved with Mia Lane and Anton Miller, he had changed.
He was no longer the young boy who would risk everything to save his mother from a sea of flames.
No longer the boy who centered his world around his mother.
Kristina Kingston hated these two people deeply, what kind of evil power did they possess?
Kristina Kingston got into the Lincoln car, worried about her son’s injuries but refrained from asking.
With Ian Shelby around, there shouldn’t be any issues.
In the villa room, Ian Shelby helped Anton Miller change out of his clothes and found him a clean outfit.
He filled the bathroom with hot water, "Why don’t you take a bath first? You smell of gasoline, and besides, the bleeding has stopped."
Ian helped out, taking care of him.
After Kristina Kingston left, Mia Lane linked arms with Justin Kingston, raised her eyes to him and said, "Why not take a bath first? I’ll bandage your wounds afterwards."
"You wash me," he blurted out.
Then he grasped her hands, seeing the rope marks on her wrists, feeling heartbroken.
"It’s just a minor wound, doesn’t hurt." She gently leaned into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist, her eyes brimming with tears again.
"Do you know how scared I was?" she softly spoke, "I didn’t want you all to go. I’m not afraid of dying, but I’m terrified of us all dying together."
Justin Kingston felt deeply remorseful.
He held her tightly in his arms, "Mia, do you know my fear? I’m especially afraid of losing you."
He said, "I’m sorry for scaring you, nothing will happen again, I promise to keep you safe." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"We must both live well, cherish each other, love each other deeply." Surviving the peril taught her many lessons.
"Let’s bathe together?" Justin Kingston suggested intentionally, "I’m more injured, you need to take care of me, don’t you think?"
Meeting his gaze, she nodded in agreement, having already guessed his intentions.
Nanny found clean clothes for the both of them and filled the large bathtub with warm water.
Mia Lane tested the water temperature for him.
She gently unbuttoned his dirty clothes and carefully tended to him.
The moment Justin Kingston sat into the water, he deliberately grasped her wrist and tugged her lightly.
Off balance, she toppled towards him—
With a splash, he pulled her into the water, sending up a high wave!
Mia Lane was startled but immediately propped herself up, "Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
Justin Kingston’s injury on his back near his shoulder wasn’t submerged, and the bleeding had stopped.
Seeing her, all pain seemed to vanish.
Mia Lane was the best remedy for Justin Kingston.
Cupping her dirty face, Justin Kingston scooped up some water, carefully cleansing her.
Mia Lane also scooped up some water to wash his face clean.
At the moment of their fingers touching, the atmosphere was filled with ambiguity, and a magical feeling seemed to reach deep into their hearts.
Justin Kingston cupped her face, kissing her deeply on the lips...
Mia Lane was soaking wet, she sat on him, responding to the kiss.
Justin Kingston treasured each and every second between them.
"It’s over, everything is over." After the kiss, he gently embraced her in the water, "I won’t let you be in harm’s way again."
He was still deeply remorseful, those two hours were a nightmare he wished to forget.
Mia Lane rested her cheek lightly against his wet chest, listening to his heartbeat, speaking softly, "Anton Ford didn’t do it on purpose, can you not blame him?"
"Of course I don’t blame him." Justin Kingston only saw Anton Miller as a child.
Everyone has their youthful folly.
What’s more, Anton Miller deeply moved him this time, profoundly touching his heart.
Especially when Anton Miller knelt down, it completely changed Justin Kingston’s perception of him, bowing his head to the devil to save Mia.
