Chapter 166: Chapter 166: She Was Worried About Him
Julian Lancaster thought about how, even though he managed to drive Ethan Sherman away with his schemes,
he couldn’t remove him from Nina Sinclair's heart, and this inexplicably bothered him.
He stood up abruptly, turning around in silence as he prepared to leave.
Seeing Julian turn to leave, Nina Sinclair panicked instantly.
She quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed to catch him, not realizing her body's frailty. When her foot
touched the floor, it suddenly gave way, and she tumbled forward.
Julian was quick to catch her, preventing her from crashing onto the floor.
His tall frenveloped Nina securely in his arms, and she felt a bit awkward and momentarily confused.
"Be careful," Julian murmured softly.
After he spoke, he released Nina Sinclair and gently placed her on the floor.
"Julian, wait!"
Nina reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, afraid he'd leave.
She felt that he seemed angry, but she didn’t know why. She just wanted to clear things up.
Julian stood there quietly, as if waiting for Nina Sinclair to speak.
Fearingly, Nina asked, "Julian, are you upset? Is it because helpingtook a lot of your energy?"
Upon hearing this, Julian squinted his eyes.

Even now she didn’t understand the real reason!
Feeling a kind of helplessness towards Nina Sinclair, he took a deep breath and asked, "When you were detained,
was your first thought to call Ethan for help?"
"Uh... yes..."
What was wrong with that? Besides, didn’t he already know about it?
Nina looked at Julian in confusion, not understanding what he meant by suddenly bringing it up.
Seeing her innocent expression, more of an overwhelming fatigue washed over Julian.
He replied coldly, "Did it never occur to you to cto me?"
Nina was stunned, raising her eyes to look at Julian.
She hadn’t wanted to burden him, which was why she didn’t turn to him. So was that why Julian was upset?
Because she didn’t ask him for help?
"I... I just didn’t want to inconvenience you..."
Julian smirked sarcastically, genuinely hindered by his status; did Nina think he couldn’t solve this problem?
So, in other words, she was worried about him?
The anger in his heart seemed to be smoothed over by an invisible hand, calming him down completely.
Nina was still standing in front of him, wearing a hospital gown that a nurse had helped her change into. She
hadn’t put on any shoes in her haste to get out of bed. Her pale, flawless toes were exposed to the floor.
Julian stepped forward and swept her up into his arms.
The sudden action made Nina gasp, feeling she had no choice but to clutch his neck.
Julian gently placed Nina back on the bed, covering her with the quilt.

To her surprise, he simply pulled up a chair beside her and sat down, which finally made her breathe a sigh of
relief.
Julian gazed at her warmly, "How are you feeling now?"
Nina nodded, answering honestly, "A bit dizzy, my mind's a little foggy."
"Get srest."
How could she rest with the thought that he might be upset?
