Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 781

Suddenly, Vincent let go of Elaine and moved his body far away from hers. Then, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but his gaze was like a bottomless chasm.

The way he stared at her made her feel at a loss for what to do.

Also, Elaine noticed that there was a change in Dr. Perkins' gaze. It became deep and unfathomable.

However, she didn't know what happened to him. The moment he let go of her, she hurriedly ran to a corner and didn't dare to ask him.

Although she knew that Dr. Perkins was just teasing her, she still felt that something was off.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

As an inexperienced young lady, she didn't know much about this matter.

"Sir..."

Slowly, Morgan walked down the stairs.

"Find someone to send her to the city." After Vincent spoke, he turned around and went upstairs.

In a daze, Elaine remained silent.

Even Morgan was speechless.

It was until they heard the sound of the door being slammed that Elaine asked uneasily, "Morgan, is he angry?"

However, Morgan was shocked too. "Miss Jacob, don't worry about it. We had been known that the mister has a bad temper. I'll go up and check on him. Please wait for a moment."

Hurriedly, Elaine said, "Why don't I go up and apologize?"

Could it be that she had shouted at Dr. Perkins just now, which made him angry?

"It's alright. I'll go up and have a look first."

After Morgan comforted her, he headed straight to Vincent's room. The moment he entered Vincent's bedroom, there was no one inside except the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Suspicious, he wondered why was Vincent taking a shower as soon as he came up?

Then, he knocked on the bathroom door. "Sir?"

The sound of the water in the bathroom paused for a moment, and then Vincent's muffled voice was heard through the thick door. "I'm fine. You may leave."

"Okay."

Confused, Morgan left the room. On his way toward the stairs, he seemed to have thought of something. Immediately, he stopped in his tracks, and his eyes widened. It was unbelievable.

About Vincent's condition earlier... Was it really the same thing as what he had thought it would be...?

Suddenly, Morgan flushed as he felt that Vincent had finally come to his senses.

As a matter of fact, he even had a feeling as if Vincent had finally grown up and understood what love meant.

After Elaine waited downstairs for a long time, Morgan finally returned.

However, she noticed that his expression seemed a little weird, so she asked anxiously, "Is Dr. Perkins mad at me?"

"Ahem." As Morgan cleared his throat, he answered, "Oh, Miss Jacob, what are you talking about? I think sir is very fond of you."

It was to the point that Vincent even felt an indescribable feeling toward Miss Jacob.

"But... why did Dr. Perkins seem angry just now?"

"He was not angry. He was just..."

At that moment, he didn't know how to explain it to her.

As Elaine blinked her eyes, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Afraid that she would feel embarrassed, Morgan didn't dare to say much, so he tried to find a suitable explanation, "Mister wasn't feeling well, so he decided to go upstairs first. Miss Jacob, he's not angry with you, so don't think too much about it."

However, when Elaine heard that, she became even more anxious. "He's not feeling well? What's wrong with Dr. Perkins? He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly feel uncomfortable? Does he need to see a doctor?"

Calmly, Morgan replied, "There's no need for him to see a doctor. He just needs some time to calm down."

Then, Elaine became even more suspicious and puzzled. Wasn't he supposed to go to the hospital to have a check-up if he was not feeling well? How could he be fine by trying to calm himself down?

Just as she was about to ask another question, Morgan changed the topic and suddenly asked, "Miss Jacob, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead."

"If...you were to find that mister turned out not to be the person that you imagined him to be in the future...what would you do?"

Suddenly, Elaine laughed. "Your question is so interesting. How could Dr. Perkins not be Dr. Perkins?"

"Let's assume that it happened."

After she gave it a serious thought, she answered, "No matter what Dr. Perkins turned out to be, for me, he would still be Dr. Perkins."

The moment Morgan heard her answer, he let out a sigh of relief. "Sure enough, he really didn't pick the wrong person."

"What do you mean?" Confused, Elaine did not understand what he was saying.

With a smile, he answered, "In the future, you shall understand what I meant. Also, you need to get to the center of the city, right? I'll find someone to send you there."

"Okay. I'm so sorry to trouble you."

Immediately, he waved his hand as an indication that it was no big deal and ordered someone to send her to the hospital.

When Elaine arrived at the hospital, as expected, she saw Paul seated on a chair in the distance. Immediately, she ran over to him.

"Elaine, where have you been? I was so worried!"

The moment Paul heard the footsteps and saw it was her, he immediately stood up and said, "The nurse said that you were not here since morning. I've been waiting here for almost an hour. In fact, I was about to call the police."

"I had something to do, so I went back for a bit. I'm fine. Don't worry."

Worriedly, he asked, "Where did you go? Didn't the doctor say that you have to stay in the ward for a night for observation purposes?"

After a pause, he asked again, "Did you go back to your employer's house?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" As Elaine took a moment to calm down and catch her breath, she asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

Immediately, Paul shook his head.

"Come on. I'll take you for dinner."

In the cafeteria.

Unexpectedly, Paul ordered five dishes at a go. It was not that Elaine didn't want to spend the money, but she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish it. Since young, she had been frugal, and so was she now.

"Are you sure you can finish?" With a frown, Elaine asked.

As Paul continued to eat, he answered, "Of course,

I can finish all of them."

With a smile, she did not bother him and let him eat with peace of mind.

After they were done with dinner, she went to pay the bill. However, when Elaine took out her purse, Paul's sharp gaze noticed the amount of money she had. Later, as they walked out of the cafeteria, he said, "Elaine, you seem to have so much money in hand. Why don't you lend me some?"

"No, don't even think about it. I'm supposed to give it to Mom and Dad."

"I'm not going to ask for much. Just a couple hundred will do."

"No means no."

"Elaine, why are you so stingy?" Suddenly, Paul's expression darkened as he shook her hand away and became agitated. "Now that you have a good life here, you no longer care about my life, do you? Well, that employer of yours seems to be a wealthy man. Also, from the way he treated you last night, it was obvious that he had evil intentions toward you. Elaine, be honest with me. Did you sleep with him?"

All of a sudden, Elaine was stunned. Never did she expect Paul to say something like that.

"What are you talking about?" At that moment, she was so angry that her hands trembled. "Nothing happened between Dr. Perkins and me. Stop spouting nonsense, or I will be mad!"

However, Paul's lips twitched as he said, "Isn't it? Everyone in our family is gossiping about you. They all wondered how did you manage to earn ten thousand a month as a nanny. In fact, everyone is saying that you were able to earn that much because you were someone else's mistress!"

"Although our eldest sister is a university graduate, her salary is barely half of yours. In fact, you didn't even attend university, but you are earning more than her. Even she was saying that you were using improper means to make money!"

"Slap!" Suddenly, Elaine gave a tight slap on Paul's cheek.

When he was slapped, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he shouted angrily, "How dare you slapped me? Even Mom and Dad didn't dare to beat me, but you actually slapped me! You are seeking death! Elaine, you must've slept with him, that's why you're angry! Otherwise, why didn't you take me to your workplace although I had been here for so many days? Clearly, you're afraid that I'll find out about your affair with another man!"

As if a bucket of cold water was poured on her head, and it was as if someone hit her head hard with a stick, all Elaine felt was that her mind was buzzing.

At that moment, her body was shivering, her face was pale, and her lips could not help but tremble.
