Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 72

Doing the math, it was about time for the launch. Only, the situation in that area wasn’t so great.

“David, please help me appease and calm everyone. Chase Group will not owe the employees a single

penny.” Myra knew that if the foreman came to ask about this matter himself, then probably all the

workers on the construction site were already on edge. She had to calm them down. “The Sunny Bay

Project was approved by Hart Group. They will certainly not owe the workers money.”

It was only then did David breathe a sigh of relief and smiled. “We feel more relieved with Miss Stark’s

reassurance. By the way, Director Hart also came to the site today—”

“Watch out!” Suddenly, a scream cut through the buzzing construction site, interrupting David.

Myra only felt as if there was something with a great momentum plunging down, the aim of which was

her head.

At that moment, her body went rigid and she couldn’t react. Out of nowhere, she was pulled into a

warm embrace that had a faint tobacco smell.

A loud bang was heard, followed by a muffled grunt. It sounded like something heavy had hit the

ground, and it was as if it had also hit Myra’s heart.

“Director Hart!” The first to react was Tony’s secretary, Leo.

He was here with Tony to check the site, and when he suddenly saw the falling objects, he was

shocked. However, Tony had run toward it in the blink of an eye. The brick had fallen from the fourth

floor, and he had used his arm to knock it out of the way.

At this moment, the back of his left hand was battered, and his entire hand was dripping with blood.

Frantically, Leo ran toward him.

“Director Hart is injured!”

“Hurry up and call an ambulance!”

“Oh my God, what the hell happened upstairs? How could they be so careless?”

While the voices of the crowd echoed around them, Tony seemed to have not heard them. The veins

on his forehead protruded, while his gaze was frightening. He then lowered his head and spoke with a

voice that was no longer calm like usual, and his other arm was still hooked around the waist of the

woman in his arms. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

His tone was urgent and anxious, and his face was somewhat contorted. Myra, however, was just

staring blankly at the man in front of her.

Occasionally, there would be falling objects on the site, which was why everyone wore a helmet. Even

so, if that brick had really hit her head, even if she didn’t bleed, she would have had a concussion.

But the man in front of her…

Suddenly noticing the wound on his other hand, she flinched, hastily broke free from his arms and

grabbed his hand.

The back of Tony’s hand was a bloody mess. His skin had torn open revealing his flesh, and the blood

was mixed with the ash and dust of the brick, making it look even more frightening.

Suddenly, her eyes reddened and she said helplessly, “How are you? Is your hand okay? Does it…

does it hurt?”

As a matter of fact, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing. This was the first time

someone had rushed to her aid when she was in danger.

It was a difficult emotion to describe. It felt very painful and bitter, as if there was someone squeezing

her heart, making her chest tighten.

“Mr. Clark!” She came to her senses and hurriedly shouted at the crowd, “Hurry up and call an

ambulance!”

“It’s already been called!” Leo responded from the side with a solemn expression. “Miss Stark, I think

we should send Director Hart to the hospital right away.” It would be more efficient this way.

“Right, right!” She nodded quickly. “Get the car!”

“No need.” Just when everyone was scared and frightened, the man, whose hand Myra was holding,

frowned. Expressionlessly, he shot a glance at the wound on his hand and faintly spoke.

“Director Hart!” Leo gritted his teeth. “Your hand is badly injured. You need to go to the hospital

immediately.”

“It’s not a big deal.” Tony raised his hand as if nothing had happened, then looked at David. “Do you

have Vodka and gauze here?”

Site workers often got injured at work, so they did have simple medical supplies. As for vodka, it was a

must have for the men on the site.

However, David did not expect that the leader of Hart Group would be willing to use Vodka to clean his

wound.

“Yes, it’s just that… Director Hart, do you want to use a proper…” That kind of pain was not something

that the average rich gentleman could endure.

Immediately, Tony’s face sank.

David then nodded hastily and ran toward the staff dormitory not far away, and soon came over with a

box of medical supplies.

When Leo saw that Tony still refused to go to the hospital, he could only give up persuading him. Tony

took the medical supplies from David and shot him a look, and he immediately understood. Turning

around, he dispersed the crowd.

Soon, this area was left with only Tony, Leo and Myra, who was biting down on her bottom lip hard. She

couldn’t understand why Tony didn’t want to go to the hospital, but now it was clear that he couldn’t

care less.

She crouched down and was going to take the bottle of alcohol from Tony’s hand. However, he only

frowned at her and dodged her hand. The next moment, he said in a low and gentle voice, “Close your

eyes.”

His voice was mellow and deep. It had characteristics of a mature man and was seemingly

accompanied by a touch of charisma. Involuntarily, she obeyed him and closed her eyes.

But the next instant, her eyes immediately shot wide open.

The highly concentrated alcohol had been poured onto the back of Tony’s hand, and the clear liquid

washed the dust and blood off of his hand. On the surface, it didn’t seem like a big deal, but the veins

on his arm were protruding and his contorted face at the moment was a terrifying sight.

Myra wasn’t a cold-blooded animal. Witnessing such a scene, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t

moved.

The man she gave her heart to hated her to the core and constantly ignored her, while the man she

repeatedly provoked was able to do this for her.

Her hand was clenched tightly at her side, and she could feel her nails digging into her flesh. Her heart

still couldn’t slow down at all. She couldn’t resist it anymore and went forward at once, putting her hand

into the palm of his injured hand.

Perhaps Tony was in extreme pain that upon feeling the touch in his hand, he squeezed her hand

without hesitation with the full strength of a man.

At that moment, Myra was in pain, but she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.

Meanwhile, Leo, who was handling the gauze on the side, saw this and sighed silently. Director Hart is

really losing his mind over this woman…

These few days, the company had been in a slump. As such, he wondered why Tony suddenly wanted

to visit the construction site today, and when he saw this woman here, he finally understood… He didn’t Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

come here to see the construction site. He clearly came here to see her…

After a long period of time, Myra even felt like her hand was going numb from the pain before it was

slowly released by the man before her.

Right now, there was a bright red handprint on the back of her hand. Carelessly withdrawing her hand,

she hurriedly inspected the back of Tony’s hand. He was currently using gauze to wrap it. A ray of

sunlight fell on his face, where the gentleness from earlier had been replaced with a frigid look. It was

as if that gentleness just now was only an illusion.
