She could smell alcohol on him .

Louis stumbled and fell to the ground .

4/14 Chapter 40 : Easton Came to Pick H … + 5 Points James opened the backseat door for Hope .

Without looking back , she got in , expecting it to be Easton .

When she saw him , she immediately buried her head in his chest .

Seeing Hope being taken away , Louis was furious .

He scrambled into his own car and started chasing them .

Hope noticed this in the rearview mirror .

The president of the Newton Group was driving under the influence ! If he didnt care about his life , he should at least care about the innocent pedestrians ! Without hesitation , she dialed the police .

There was a police station near the hospital , and within two minutes , Louis was stopped .

He angrily demanded to keep chasing and even hit an officer , which led to him being 5/14 Chapter 40 : Easton Came to Pick H … + 5 Points handcuffed .

In the car , Easton frowned as he examined her injured arm .

When he had first heard about Hopes injury at the mall , he had already asked James to find out everything about the situation .

He didnt agree with Hopes self sacrificial actions , but that was just who she was .

Hope tilted her head back , revealing her delicate face .

Her eyes , glimmering with light , were bright and clear , but her lips , pale from blood loss , were slightly downturned , as though she had endured some great injustice .

Easton ~ Her voice was soft and gentle , with a hint of coquettish that made Eastons throat 6/14 Chapter 40 : Easton Came to Pick H … + 5 Points tighten .

His voice became hoarse as he responded .

Mm ? Did you come to pick me up on purpose ? Mm , youre hurt .

Easton responded directly , without thinking too much .

Hope felt a twinge of disappointment .

So , he only came because she was hurt .

She pushed against Eastons chest , distancing herself from him .

The faint scent of herbs on him made her heart feel heavy .

Lets go home .

Im so hungry .

My hand hurts , and I just want to sleep .

Easton didnt understand why she seemed upset .

He thought it was just the pain from 7/14 Chapter 40 : Easton Came to Pick H … + 5 Points her hand .

Do you want me to blow on it ? he asked , recalling how she once said blowing on it would make the pain go away .

Hope looked at him suspiciously and raised her wrapped up hand .

How exactly are you going to blow on it ? Uh … Easton was caught off guard .

James , who was silently observing from the front seat , couldnt help but feel a sense of urgency for his boss .

How could Easton be so brilliant at work but so clueless when it came to relationships ? He was clearly worried about his wife .

After getting the call , he rushed over immediately .

But now … the beauty had flown straight into 8/14 Chapter 40 : Easton Came to Pick H … + 5 Points Eastons arms ! Perhaps it was time to buy Easton a relationship guidebook or sign him up for some relationship counseling ! Hope saw Easton stunned and couldnt help but laugh .

Pfft … You can help me with the pain in other ways , like taking me to eat something good ? Sure .

Forget it , Hope added , immediately regretting her words .

She looked at her hand and then at Eastons legs .

One injured , the other disabled .

What could they even eat ? How about we just make some simple soup 9/14 Chapter 40 : Easton Came to Pick H … + 5 Points .

noodles at home ? Sure , Easton replied .

Ill ask Uncle Dragon to come and make it for you ? Hope shook her head .

Its late .

No need to bother Uncle Dragon .

We can make it ourselves .

It wasnt that she couldnt cook with one hand ; it was just a bit difficult .

She couldnt crack eggs or chop vegetables with only one hand .

In the end , she directed James to make three bowls of clear soup noodles according to her taste .

Hope took a spoonful of the broth , blew on it , and took a sip , letting out a satisfied sigh .
