Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: The Security Uncle’s Words
Feeling her hand slip away from his, for an instant, Fenton Stuart’s hand remained stiff in midair, as if sothing was slipping through his fingers.
Stepping out of the dical Room, dazzled by the scorching sun, Belinda Howard felt even more lightheaded, her head heavier than before.
She stopped, feeling shaky and unsteady.
Behind her, a strong hand reached out and wrapped around her slender waist without hesitation.
“You shouldn’t force yourself if you can’t walk.” Fenton Stuart said calmly, and before Belinda Howard could react, he gently lifted her onto his shoulders with a slight turn of his body.
For a mont, Belinda Howard was stunned by his gesture.
This was probably the first mont of such close intimacy between them since she beca sensible.
“Brother Luke, I can walk on my own.” Being carried like this made Belinda Howard feel sowhat awkward.
However, she quite liked the sll of him.
Listening to her voice coming from behind, Fenton Stuart kept a calm expression, and Belinda Howard on his back naturally couldn’t see how tender his facial expression was at this mont.
“Let carry you this once and take you ho.”
His extrely gentle voice made Belinda Howard pause in surprise.
She rembered that as a child, she was once carried on his back after hurting her leg. He had comforted her gently on the way ho.
Belinda Howard didn’t make another sound but stayed quietly on his sturdy back, breathing in the fresh scent from his hair strands.
As the two left the campus, the Security Uncle at the gate saw them and couldn’t hide his look of astonishnt.
Again this little girl, was she bullied once more?
Watching the two approaching, Security Uncle hurriedly opened the school gate, and then stepped out. Seeing Fenton Stuart, he couldn’t help asking,
“Was it the Mayor’s Daughter bullying you again?” The Security Uncle stepped out and, seeing Belinda Howard’s haggard face, felt a surge of pity.
Belinda Howard certainly didn’t expect the Security Uncle to suddenly bring that up, and just as she was about to speak, Fenton Stuart furrowed his brows and looked at the Security Uncle, “Again?”
The Security Uncle paused, then looked at Fenton Stuart, “Yes, this child had it rough yesterday. She ca out so late from the campus, all drenched —”
“Uncle!”
Before Security Uncle could finish, Belinda Howard interrupted him eagerly.
She had barely managed to cover everything up yesterday, naturally, she didn’t want Fenton Stuart to find out.
In front of him, she didn’t want to appear so embarrassed.
Interrupted abruptly, the Security Uncle paused and looked at Belinda Howard, then at Fenton Stuart, unsure whether to continue speaking or stop.
Fenton Stuart raised his gaze, his calm pupils showing no sign of complexity, “Keep going.”
The Uncle, still sowhat puzzled, but rembering Belinda Howard’s disheveled appearance from the night before, couldn’t help but continue,
“It was last night when it was already dark, and this child only ca out of the campus soaked through. Before she ca out, I saw Mayor White’s Daughter and a group of girls leave, probably bullied her, I suppose.”
The Security Uncle said with a look of sympathy.
Belinda Howard didn’t speak further but lay silently on Fenton Stuart’s back, quietly closing her eyelids.
She was aware, now that the Security Uncle had spoken out, trying to hide the events of yesterday was impossible!
