When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 61
Enrico was sitting beside the bed. She tried to call out to him, moving her lips, but her voice wouldn’t come out, buried deep in sleep. When she coughed, showing her discomfort, he picked up the pitcher from the bedside table and poured water into a glass.
Emilia watched Enrico bring the glass quickly to her lips, then slowly let the water into her mouth. Seeing his gaze stop on her throat as she swallowed, she took the glass away.
“…What happened?”
Emilia cleared her throat and asked softly.
“You injured your shoulder and arm a bit. Your right ankle is swollen—they said you should get it checked later.”
At his words, her eyes drifted toward her foot. She had kept postponing the ankle examination ever since she twisted it before the accident; apparently, they had finally decided to check it. They probably wanted to confirm whether the swelling was temporary, but overwhelmed by the sudden rush of emotions upon waking, she sighed.
“There won’t be any serious issue. Don’t worry too much.”
It was an unexpectedly gentle reassurance. Uncharacteristically considerate of him, who was usually so sensitive about his own condition, Emilia finally fixed her eyes squarely on Enrico. At first glance, she hadn’t noticed—he was still wearing formal attire. Moreover, a strange emotion flickered in his deep violet eyes.
Had he been staying beside her all this time? Why? Doubt clouded her eyes.
“I wanted to see you open your eyes.”
As if reading her thoughts, he spoke. His low, quiet voice sounded strangely like a whisper tickling her insides. Her heart beat oddly—was it anxiety over his unfamiliar behavior, or something else entirely? She couldn’t tell.
‘Did you soften up simply because you confirmed I’m alright? After all, this accident wasn’t my fault to begin with. Ah… right, the accident.’
Her ankle wasn’t the important matter now.
“It was the lighting rig that fell, wasn’t it?”
Blinking slowly, Emilia opened her mouth a beat too late.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
