Chapter 182: Don’t Test My Patience! (5)

“It’s you!?!” Luo Anning asked in astonishment.

She remembered that he was the one who rescued her from the inn back then. Was his name… Kristen?

She remembered hearing a voice telling her to remember his name, Kristen, while she was in a daze.

Kristen smiled and said with raised brows, “I’m glad you still remember me.”

“… Kristen?” Luo Anning asked.

“Yeah.” He glanced at her and said, “Hop in, I’ll give you a ride.’

Luo Anning did not hesitate and got inside the car.

“It’s so late. Where are you headed to?” he asked while revving up the engine.

Luo Anning gave it some thought and said, “To the hotel.”

Since she was out on a business trip and there was a branch of the Baina International Hotel in London, there would be no need for her to waste money on looking for another place for accommodation.

Kristen acknowledged with a nod. Seated in the pa.s.senger’s seat, Luo Anning glanced at Kristen who had one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel. “Kristen, thank you for saving me the other time. If you need my help in the future, feel free to ask me. I’ll do my best as long as it’s within my means.”

Had he not rescued her that day, she would have probably died.

Fine, I may have been the one who begged him to save me, but he was still the one who rescued me and brought me to safety in the end, she thought.

She still owed him a huge favor.

Kristen glanced at her before saying ambiguously, “Don’t worry, there’ll come a time when I need your help.”

Luo Anning did not think too much about it. Kristen asked casually, “Can you cook?”

She subconsciously answered, “I can’t cook dishes that are too complicated.”

“Sweet and sour fish.”

“I can cook that.”

“Great.” He smiled and turned the steering wheel, after which the car sped off in a different direction.

Realizing that they were not en route to the hotel, Luo Anning asked, “Aren’t you supposed to send me to the hotel? Where are you headed to now?”

“Back to my apartment.” Kristen paused before adding, “Cook for me.”

“Hey, have you got no sense of empathy at all? I’ve just gotten off a flight and you’re already making me work for you?”

“Luo Anning, is it that much of a ha.s.sle to cook for your savior?”

“… How did you know my name?” Luo Anning asked with widened eyes.

Kristen guffawed at the sight of how shocked she was. His laughter echoed in the car and he said, “If I don’t even know who I rescued, how am I supposed to ask for repayment?”

Luo Anning was speechless.

…

Upon returning to the apartment, Luo Anning lugged her suitcase along and entered the apartment. As soon as she did, she saw a beautiful, tall and slender Caucasian woman walking out of the room, clad in a nightdress.

She was clearly shocked to see Luo Anning, though she recovered from the shock by the time Luo Anning tried to scrutinize her.

She thought that her eyes had been playing tricks on her.

Catherine was holding a gla.s.s of water that she was clearly intending to drink because she had gotten thirsty in the middle of the night. However, she did not expect to see Kristen bringing Luo Anning home with him.

Kristen threw his car key onto the coffee table and grabbed Luo Anning’s suitcase. Pointing at Catherine with his long and slender finger, he introduced, “She’s Catherine, the one who saved you when you were on the brink of death.”

Luo Anning was rather stunned, for she did not expect so much to have happened while she was in a coma. She quickly snapped out of her trance and smiled at Catherine in a friendly manner. “Miss Catherine, thank you for saving me the other time.”

Catherine glanced at her coldly before staring at the suitcase in Kristen’s hand.
