Chapter 2549: Chapter 22: You Used to Call Me Abbie’s Big Brother
"It hurts here." Molly Wellington held her head, not yet noticing the hint of urgency, helplessness, and gentleness in Abraham Redington’s voice.
His large hand lifted her tear-stricken face, the warmth of his fingertips was startlingly intense.
"Good girl, take it away, let me see." Abraham Redington instinctively soothed Molly Wellington, as her hands covered her forehead, making it hard for him to clearly see her injury.
Molly Wellington’s almond-shaped eyes were wet, her dark eyes soaked with tears.
She only noticed her own injury at first, but when her chin was lifted by Abraham Redington, and she heard his magnetic and pleasant voice, she suddenly realized what they were doing now.
Thump, thump, thump...
The speed of the heartbeat was as if it would leap out from the chest.
Molly Wellington instinctively clutched her heart, coincidentally revealing the bump on her forehead.
Seeing the high bump on her forehead, Abraham Redington’s eyes dimmed, he lightly touched her injury with his fingertips, "Fool, hit such a big bump."
His serious and indifferent voice carried blame, yet the large hand on Molly Wellington’s head obviously lightened in pressure.
"..." Molly Wellington did not understand why she was so timid.
Clearly usually sharp-tongued, but being scolded by Abraham Redington, she could only bite her lip, not daring to speak.
"Tonight when you sleep, don’t hug the big plush toy, don’t wriggle around... you should be more careful."
Hey, how did he know that when she sleeps at night, she likes to hug the big plush toy and wriggle around?
"Sit down first, I’ll get some ice for you..."
"No need, I’m fine." Molly Wellington instinctively grabbed Abraham Redington’s hand as he was about to let go.
She didn’t know why, just... it felt like this version of Abraham Redington was so rare, so rare, like returning to childhood, when Abbie would apply medicine for her, feel sorry for her, and take care of her.
She... couldn’t bear it.
Abraham Redington furrowed his brows, about to ask her to let go, when he heard Molly Wellington’s shocked voice.
"Abbie... your mouth corner..."
Earlier, due to shyness, Molly Wellington did not dare look directly at Abraham Redington.
Only now, she lifted her eyes, wanting to call Abraham Redington, did she realize his lip corner was unexpectedly bloody.
"Below your lip corner... seems to be bruised by me... bleeding..."
She looked at his lip corner injury, feeling guilty inside, as well as heartache.
It must be when she stood up earlier, her forehead hit his jaw, causing him to bite his lip.
Molly Wellington felt extremely guilty, lifted her eyes to look into Abraham Redington’s blue eyes, wanting to formally apologize to him.
Unexpectedly, as the gaze lifted, it just met a pair of deep, piercing blue eyes wavering with intense dark light.
"Abraham Redington..."
Molly Wellington confusedly called out, not understanding why Abraham Redington was looking at her with such eyes.
Such an eye expression was too intense, too aggressive.
This was different from Abraham Redington’s usual cold and indifferent demeanor, this gaze was enough to make her flustered, her heart race uncontrollably.
"Not Abraham Redington..."
The man suddenly spoke, his low and hoarse voice carrying a sexy magnetism completely different from when he usually spoke.
"Molly, what did you just call me, hmm?"
"I..." Molly Wellington was slightly stunned, suddenly recalling the name she had called out in a rush moments ago.
She... called him, Abbie?
"I’m sorry." She lowered her head, not daring to meet those blue eyes again.
The girl’s face blushed red, her entire face starting to burn, "I didn’t mean to... it won’t happen again."
Molly Wellington still remembered that Abraham Redington had said that it was a childhood name, he now hated being called Abbie.
Yet, as soon as "it won’t happen again" was spoken, her delicate chin was held up by the man’s long, fair fingers.
"Why not call, you used to call me Abbie’s big brother."
