Carlos' men escorted those men away, and one of his men took Emily to the police station, too.
Jonas hugged Melinda tightly and didn't want to let her go. Only in this way could he feel at ease.
Every time something happened to Melinda, the kind of fear would almost defeat him, but he had to be
tenacious, because Melinda needed him.
"Linda." He stroked her swollen cheek affectionately, and didn't dare to touch her too hard for fear that
she would feel pain.
At the same time, Melinda was also trembling. It could be seen how serious the wound on her face
was.
"Linda, it's okay. Let's go home now." Hugging her in his arms, Jonas walked to his car.
The wind at the seaside was very cold. Jonas used his body to shield Melinda, as if by using this way,
he had declared that he would shield her from rain and protect her.
But he forgot that he was the reason why she was hurt every time.
In order not to make the whole family worry about her, Jonas took her back to his apartment and called
for a family doctor to treat her wound.
Even though he seldom came to the apartment, he still asked someone to clean it at regular times. It
was not a big problem to live in it now.
After the mess tonight, she was very tired, but in her sleep, her eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled.
"How long will it take for the wound to heal?" Jonas asked a family doctor. The doctor frowned with
hesitation. Finally, he said it would take at least three or five days. According to her physical condition,
she had to take the medicine. In these days, she'd better not eat anything.
Though it was terrible and swollen, there was no blood at all. As for the blood at the corner of the
mouth, it was caused by the teeth knocked on the jaw. In addition to taking medicine, there were also
many other ways to reduce the swelling. Jonas had been busy taking care of her the whole night.
The next morning, when she woke up, she saw somebody lying on her stomach by the bed. He opened
his eyes and smiled at the sight of her.
"Linda, are you feeling better?" "What's going on?" he asked, and then looked carefully at the wound
on her face. As soon as he got close to her, she could feel his unique breath. Trembling, she moved
backwards.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Jonas smiled and touched her head, "I'll make breakfast for you."
He hadn't slept for the whole night and had been very busy in the past few days. He felt dizzy when he
got up. It took him a while to stand up and then walked towards the kitchen.
Watching the leaving figure of Jonas, Melinda had mixed feelings.
After several incidents, she was completely scared. Emily was like a mad dog, biting her whenever she
was caught. One reason was simple. It was because of Jonas.
She was caught in a trance. Looking at the clothes on the night table, she knew it must be prepared by
Jonas. So she went to the bathroom to change the clothes. Looking at her swollen cheek in the mirror,
she felt like in a dream when thinking of what happened last night.
But the wound remained on her body and her heart.
The wounds on the face would be healed soon with the medicine, but the fear in the heart could not be
expelled.
"You can take a rest at home today. I have called the servant to look after you. There is something in
the company, so I can't accompany you." Seeing Melinda came out, Jonas stopped all his work and
went forward to hold her in his arms.
The company did not completely belong to him. The 'jackals' and 'tigers' in it were not less gentle than
Emily.
But he didn't know what to do. What happened yesterday made him scared. It seemed that Emily was
looking for a chance to bring trouble to Melinda.
She were safe at home. Moreover, Carlos just said that Emily was in prison, but she didn't want to say
anything, so they needed more evidence.
"I'll just buy a mask." Melinda said indifferently, thinking that she might as well resign if she continued to
ask for leave.
She knew that it was also Victor who protected her in private, so she didn't want to make things difficult
for him.
On the other hand, it was hard for him to make a decision. He wanted to object, but he knew clearly
that there was no room for him to change since she had asked it directly.
"Okay, I'll drive you to work later." Compromised Jonas. He didn't say anything, just eating breakfast
quietly. Before going out, what she said confused him again.
He could feel that she had changed her attitude towards him.
"There is a subway not far from home. The subway is very close to the company. I can go by myself.
You can go to the company." She looked the same as before. His hand holding the car keys became
stiff.
"It won't be troublesome for me to send you there." He said, Melinda turned a deaf ear to him, and
continued. "There is a small market at the subway station, I will buy a mask there."
The car was parked in the garage, but she walked in the direction of the apartment door. Turning left
and not far from house was the subway station. She didn't want to wait for him at all.
She had deliberately distanced herself from Jonas. Everything was so obvious.
She came to the office with a mask, which she hadn't taken off the whole day. Everyone was
concerned about her, but she only gave a faint smile on her face in return.
Instead, Victor knew what happened last night but didn't know the details, so he came to Melinda and
asked her about that. When he found the wound on her face, he immediately understood something.
"Now I don't know if my decision is right or wrong." She didn't think it was a good choice to come back
to Jonas.
The two families were in harmony. She could feel that Jonas loved her and knew that she loved him,
but there was always one thing that was not perfect.
The appearance of Emily made her realize the reality again, and the fear of losing a child once again
filled her heart.
First, they lost a child. Then, she was hurt. Emily was an executioner. If she caught a chance, she
would give her a fatal blow.
She had been mentally prepared for this sudden visit, but she failed this time.
"Just follow your heart. Don't push yourself too hard." Victor comforted Melinda. After all, it was her
business.
Victor suggested that she can ask for leave to have a good rest, but the latter declined his suggestion.
"I have to work hard now. I can't lose everything, right?" If he gave up because of some external factors
in the end, she should have something to insist.
After leaving the office, there were still many discussions, but they all looked so adorable to her. She
was shocked by how terrible Emily was.
She went to work as usual, as if nothing had happened. Because of what happened last time, she
didn't dare to work overtime. When she was off duty, she saw Jonas' car parking at the gate of the
company.
She frowned and tried to avoid him, but Jonas got out of the car and stared at her in the distance.
The staff working in this company was not unfamiliar to this car, and they immediately knew that he
were looking for Melinda. All the curious eyes fell on her.
But she ignored him and turned around, walking towards the subway station not far away from her.
Being confused, Jonas walked towards her directly.
As she walked faster and faster, she only felt that the fresh air getting thinner and thinner.
"Liam." As Jonas stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm. Having no choice, she had to stop and
look at his legs with a little resentment.
"Haven't I told you not to drive me to work?"
She felt that her attitude was quite firm, and she was a little unhappy about what Jonas did.
"Linda, what's wrong with you?" He felt that there was something wrong with her, but he couldn't tell
what exactly it was. Such a change made him panic.
"I'll take a bus there. You can go now." On her way to the subway station, she happened to pass by a
bus station. Seeing the bus, she went on.
Seeing this, Jonas followed up with her regardless of everything.
"What are you doing?" Astonished, Melinda looked at Jonas, who was catching up with her. Her hand
with coins became stiff. Finally, she took out another coin from her bag and inserted it for Jonas.
'If you don't have any cash, why do you take the bus? Don't you want to drive your sports car?'
"I want go with you." Jonas said indifferently, but held her hand firmly. There were many people in the
bus, and she hold the handrail above her head to maintain basically balance.
It was the first time for him to take such kind of car. The crowded feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
Her initial intention was not to be too close to Jonas. She was worried that there would be another
madman like Emily in the prison. Although Emily was in prison now, she had a great influence on her,
which could be said to be far-reaching.
"Linda, please come to me." Although they were holding each other's hand, there was a person in the
middle. Jonas frowned and said to Melinda.
He was extremely uncomfortable to have any contact with strangers. Due to his cold face, there was
even a small place of him in the crowded bus, with him as the center.
She didn't care a scrap about the Jonas' words. She stood there, her fingers starting to feel sore. The
driver's driving skill was not really stable, as he pressed the brake and stopped the bus at any time. All
the people in the car seemed to have lost the balance.
Seeing this, Jonas had no choice but to walk to the direction of Melinda when the car stopped. He
stood behind Melinda, and she only came up.to his shoulder. When the driver braked hard, she threw
herself into his arms.
"Hold me, honey." Jonas lowered his head and whispered to her. His soft and magnetic voice was like
an electric current, making her legs weak.
