Chapter 309: Chapter 305

"Ouch!"

I immediately yelled out in pain. The burn on my back wasn’t that big, the bruised area took up more of my back. But the burn hurt so much that I couldn’t handle it.

Damon quickly grabbed my shoulders and helped me back into a side-lying position. He said sympathetically, "I know it hurts, just try to bear it."

"I think I just lie down for a bit." I was still lost in pain, feeling completely drained. All I wanted was to lie down and rest.

Damon looked a bit puzzled. "Lie down and rest? Is that a good position?"

He probably asked unconsciously, but I immediately got his point. I felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t answer his question.

When Damon realized what he’d said, he couldn’t help but laugh. He had a nice voice, and it was even more charming when he laughed. "But given the size of your breasts, I don’t think you’ll be under much stress." He joked about my figure at such a time?

I was unfazed. "You’re right. Your technique is not good."

Damon’s smile disappeared instantly, and he quickly asked. "My technique is not good?"

"Otherwise, why haven’t you reacted yet?" I was feeling a bit better, I was even joking with Damon.

On hearing this, Damon asked suggestively. "Do you need me to try it out now?"

I was immediately on guard Luckily, I was lying down, so Damon couldn’t do anything if he wanted to.

Damon also realized the problem, and he sighed helplessly. "I’ll just wait until you’re better, we’ll try it then."

"Why don’t you ask the doctor to arrange the discharge and take James and the others with you." I changed the subject and instructed Damon.

Damon nodded, "Okay, I’II ask my mom to accompany you, it’ll be safer."

Soon, Lisa, who was shopping outside, returned. When she heard that I was going to be discharged the next day, she tried to earnestly persuade me to return with her. "Eliana, why don’t you move back to Starlight Estates? I can take care of you there. You can bring your mom too."

I responded. "Well see. Don’t worry, I have Hannah to look after me."

Lisa sighed deeply, not insisting anymore.

The next day. Damon arranged my discharge.

To my surprise, Ariel appeared again. She stood next to Damon, looking nervous,

As soon as Lisa saw Ariel, she got angry. She snapped, "What are you doing here again? Damon, did you invite her to the hospital?!"

"She’s coming back with us" Damon said while looking at me.

I immediately showed displeasure, frowning and not saying anything.

I could feel Ariel watching my reaction.

"No way!" Lisa flatly refused. "She can go back the way she came!"

"I came by plane. Damon said you were planning to go back to the City today and asked me to go with you. Sorry for the inconvenience." Ariel didn’t sound sorry at all, she seemed rather pleased.

Lisa’s face darkened. I could feel the tension in the air, Ariel was surprisingly composed.

"I’m totally against it!" Lisa declared firmly. "I can’t possibly share it with her. Damon, you make the decision."

"You can take her car" Damon nodded at me, indicating that Lisa should take my car.

Lisa looked taken aback. I immediately said, ’Lisa, why don’t you ride with Joshua’s parents? James can drive. That’s four people. Damon and I can go together"

I seemed to confuse Lisa even more. She opened her mouth to say something but didn’t.

In the end, Damon, Ariel, and I shared a car. I was injured, and my back couldn’t touch anything. If it had to, it had to be cushioned with a pillow to alleviate the pain.

Ariel opened the rear car door for me. "Eliana, why don’t you sit in the back? There’s more space, and you can lie down if you’re uncomfortable."

"Fire" I responded coldly and got in the back. As long as I didn’t touch the wound, I was mobile.

Seeing that I didn’t object, Ariel smiled and took the front seat.

Damon didn’t bring his driver this time, so he drove. Ariel chatted with him all the way, completely ignoring me.

I didn’t mind, but it reminded me of myself in the past, going out with Damon, sitting in the passenger seat, trying to make conversation. It was a happy feeling.

"Damon, can I try driving? It’s a long way. You shouldn’t be driving all the time. I want to drive too." Ariel suggested this when we were taking a break.

"No need." Damon refused outright.

"Please let me try, okay? If not, I’m not going!" Ariel started to act spoiled.

Damon didn’t react, but I knew this wouldn’t work, I signaled him to agree to Ariel’s request.

Damon took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. I could tell from his face that he was trying to control his temper.

"Okay, but drive slowly." Damon finally agreed.

Ariel was thrilled. She took over the driving for the rest of the journey. Damon sat in the passenger seat. I thought Ariel would just drive a bit slow, but it turned out to be quite the surprise.

As soon as we got off the highway, Ariel started braking abruptly. The car would jerk to a stop now and then. Because of the inertia, I kept swaying back and forth. I bumped my back several times, causing me to break out in a cold sweat.

We had another sudden stop, and the pain in my back made me gasp.

"Eliana, I’m sorry. The road here isn’t very good for driving. I didn’t do it on purpose..." Ariel apologized with a guilty look on her face.

Obviously, she did it on purpose. I’m not a fool.

Bearing the pain, I said, "Maybe you shouldn’t drive anymore."

"Are you dissing me?" Ariel asked in a hurt tone. "I’ve been trying my best to drive smoothly, Eliana. Don’t get me wrong, okay?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the car suddenly ran over something. I was thrown back, the pain almost making me pass out.

"That’s enough!" Damon suddenly yelled, and the car pulled over. "I’ll drive."

Damon’s outburst scared Ariel into silence. He got out of the car with a frown and walked over to the driver’s side, and Ariel, with tears in her eyes, got out.

I was in too much pain to pay attention to their reactions.

"Damon, do you... do you think I did it on purpose?" Ariel asked with a sob as the car started again.

Damon replied coldly, "No, I just think you’re not familiar with this car."

Ariel looked back at me, her eyes full of jealousy. "No, you’re just worried that I might hurt Eliana while driving."
