Heaven Can Wait - Chapter 142
Caroline couldn’t believe what she heard.
She blanked out for a second and the ran behind him.
“Nubeous!”
“Lord Nubeous!”

“Ouch!”
Clutching her elbow, she winced in pain and closed her eyes as she had badly hurt herself. Taking a deep breath when she opened her eyes, she watched him standing next to her, stretching out his hand for her.
She got up by herself, without holding his hand and mumbled, “I need to talk to you. Please!”
“Are you hurt?”
And upon hearing that question she looked up at him. As her eyes scanned his face, she could read genuine concern for her.
‘Is he the same man who almost tried to strangle her that morning!’
“I am fine… I just stepped over”
“Can you be a bit careful? I cannot be there all the time to save you if you keep acting like a damsel in distress.”
