Chapter 1136

Vonnie shook my arm anxiously and said, “What should we do? Just let him go like this?”

“This guy is so stubborn, just wait, I’ll go wake him up with a beating,” Johnathan said as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to go find Reynaldo for a fight.

I hurried over and grabbed him, saying, “Let me do it.”

At this moment, Reynaldo had already reached the car. But he didn’t rush to open the car door and get in; instead, he suddenly turned around and looked towards me. The lights in the courtyard were dim, so much so that he seemed to be enveloped in shadows, looking somewhat desolate and lonely. He stared at me for a long time. Because the light was too dim, I couldn’t see his expression clearly, but I could feel the sadness emanating from him.

After a long time, he finally withdrew his gaze and opened the car door.

I whispered to him, “Johnathan didn’t lie to you, I was indeed injured.”

When I said this, both Johnathan and Vonnie were stunned, looking at me in surprise. Especially Johnathan, his eyes were full of the words “a promising young person can be taught”; he almost wanted to give me a thumbs up.

Reynaldo stood there, silent for two seconds, then asked me in a low voice, “Where are you injured? Is it serious?”

“It’s urgent. If this wound is not treated soon, I reckon I won’t last long.”

“No nonsense allowed!” As soon as I finished speaking, the man suddenly growled at me. He might have thought I was cursing myself, so he was a little angry. He stared at me heavily, his hand gripping the door handle, and didn’t move for a while.

I looked at him and said seriously, “I wasn’t talking nonsense; it was my heart that got hurt.”

Johnathan seemed to suddenly realize and quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, yes… Esmie’s hurt is in her heart; this heartache can be big or small.”

“During the time you took the children abroad, Ralda was so hurt that she was vomiting blood and had to take medicine every day,” Vonnie added.

As soon as Vonnie’s words fell, the man’s body trembled slightly, looking at me with an incredulous gaze. Look, he always thought that I liked Anton, couldn’t believe that I would be heartbroken for him.

I looked at him and said flatly, “As the saying goes, a wounded heart is hard to heal. If this wound is not healed, how long do you think… I can still live?”

“No nonsense!” Reynaldo growled again, then after a moment, he murmured, “You will be fine, you will always be fine.”

I chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, “So, you must leave tonight? Even if… I feel so heartbroken that I’m almost dying inside?”

Reynaldo was taken aback, looking at me again with that incredulous gaze. Perhaps the previous pent-up emotions in my heart had not dissipated, and on top of that, I was provoked by him again. The blood in my heart suddenly surged up, and I couldn’t help but cough.

“Esmeralda…” Reynaldo shouted in a low voice and quickly walked towards me.

Upon seeing the situation, Johnathan quickly rushed to his car, propped open the door, and grinned at him, saying, “My car is out of gas, so why don’t you drive yours back.”

With that, he winked at Vonnie, signaling her to get in the car quickly. Vonnie quickly understood and ran over to him. When the two of them got in the car, they even raised their thumbs at me one after another, as if they were praising me, pretending to cough ridiculously.
