Chapter 232 Won’t You Accompany Me?

Lydia screamed in pain. Her knees were burning, and her palms were scratched by small rocks.

In front, Dalton heard the noise and finally stopped.

He glanced back and saw her kneeling on the ground, unable to get up. He pivoted around and walked back to her.

Dalton stood beside her and reached out a hand towards her.

Noticing a shadow above her head, Lydia realized that he had returned, which pleased her very much.

She thought, “Dalton still loves me. He can’t ignore me. Despite his rage, he is worried about me.”

Lydia, who had been tense all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced up at Dalton, tears streaming down her face again.

Her pitiful appearance could easily arouse a man’s desire to protect her.

“Dalton.”

Dalton helped Lydia up. His eyes were icy, no longer tinged with the deep affection they had once had.

“Are you injured?”

Lydia bit her lip with big teardrops on her face. “It hurts a lot. My knees seem to be scratched, and my palms…”

Such a weak woman could easily gain anyone’s sympathy.

Dalton raised his hand and wiped the tears from her face. “Come on. I’ll help you go back.”

Lydia peeked at him with caution and only relaxed after noticing that he appeared calm and not impatient.

They soon returned to the room. She sat on the sofa. When he turned around, ready to leave, she was stunned.

“Dalton, won’t you accompany me?”

“I remember I just said that we should be apart for a few days.”

Lydia pondered, “What? Be apart? I will never agree. Many couples break up after separating for a few days.”

“Dalton! Don’t leave me!”

At the sight of Lydia’s tears, Dalton couldn’t be indifferent anymore. Anyway, she was still his wife. Although this marriage stemmed from deception, she did not make any significant mistakes for a long time.

Dalton said calmly, “I will ask the medical staff to help you treat your wound.”

Lydia was anxious. “What about you?”

“I want to be alone!”

With that, Dalton turned away.

Lydia instinctively reached out to grab him but barely managed to catch the edge of his sleeve.

He would not be back tonight.

This was Lydia’s first reaction.

The door slammed, and the next moment, Dalton completely disappeared from her sight.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

Thinking that Dalton had returned, Lydia ran over excitedly but only saw medical staff carrying a medicine box.

Her eyes darkened, and she became extremely annoyed.

She wondered what she should do to win Dalton back.

It was really serious this time! He was even unwilling to talk to her!

Dalton went downstairs and rushed directly into a fondue restaurant.

Meanwhile, the fondue restaurant was crowded. He shuttled between the tables and almost bumped into the waiters delivering the dishes several times.

He constantly searched around for Meryl.

Just now, Walter had mentioned that Meryl and Chandler were eating fondue. This was the only fondue restaurant in the neighborhood, so she should be right here!

But why hadn’t he found her after circling several times?

He was anxious.

“Sir, our restaurant is full. Do you have a reservation?” A waiter saw Dalton rampaging through the restaurant, fearing that there would be an accident.

“I’m looking for someone. Is Meryl Stone here?”

The waiter checked it at the front desk and gently shook his head. “Among the customers with reservations, there’s no one named Meryl Stone.”

“What about Chandler Aniston?” In a hurry, Dalton directly called out Chandler’s name.
