Chapter 185 - Chapter 185

((( CLAIRE )))

He was wearing white pajamas and a t-shirt that made him look like an apparition…an angel to me.

His brows suddenly raised.

I stepped back and took a deep breath.

"I just got missing for a few days and you're already mad. I'm alive, completely alive."

I was nodding.

Wait- what? He's alive?

"Zhio!"

I ran to him like a kid and hugged him tight. My tears broke loose,

"I thought something bad happened to you…"

He hugged me back.

"You missed me and you're worried?"

I lifted my tear-stained face at him,

"No. You'd be leaving a lot of problems if you disappear."

He just pinched my nose.

"Ouch!"

"Red-nosed reindeer," he smiled.

I loosen the hug and he let go.

"So. What is my crazy wife doing here?"

Crazy wife? What is this abnormal guy saying?

"I am not crazy."

"Then…what is my wife doing here?" he approached the closet and rummaged through the neatly arranged array of bespoke, long sleeved clothing, and casual garments.

"What really happened to you," I asked.

"None of your business. Just answer my question."

He was back to his serious alter ego.  

He took a work clothing and laid it to the mattress.

His clothes looked like he came back from a hospital.

He looked at me.

"Claire…"

He took off his shirt in front of me.

"Zhi--"

He got a wound in his back.

Zhio was still looking at me as if adamantly asking for answers.

"Um…Atty. Wenziel…he…"

"I see. Don't speak," he threw the shirt on the bed,

"I'll just ask that old man. Rest here while I take a shower."

I just nodded.

Wherever his wound came from, I knew he's been through a lot for the fifteen days he went missing. Despite his advice, I went out that room and heard murmurs from the outside lounge.

Like me, they seemed to have seen a ghost.

When Zhio returned, Deo came in the suite.

"Take her back to the mansion," he ordered him. He didn't even turn his head at me as he passed by.

"Let's go," Deo smiled at me.

I walked behind him silently and when we got to the car, I finally asked Deo,

"Is Zhio really like that?"

He nodded.

"Especially now that he got lots of things to fix. But worry not, he cares for you."

No.

Who was I that the youngest billionaire I know personally, would care for?
