You can totally whine at me , ask for stuff , even throw your little fits why cant you just , like , depend on me the way a normal sister would ? Whats the deal ? Hope frowned and wrinkled her nose .
She could smell alcohol on him .
So , Louis was drunk and throwing a tantrum ? Just then , another car pulled up , and James stepped out .

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 .
Its good , but not as good as what I make ! Ill 10/14 CIChapter 40 : Easton Camente to Pick H.
