Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 26
Advertisement
Short black hair, handsome features that she would never forget, tall and fit physique. It was indeed him.
One-night stand, Cris!
The man quickly hid the surprise in his face. He smiled, 'I will help you pay the hospital bill."
"I — uh. Oh, I will call the ambulance." For some reason, her heart started racing.
"No need. I have a car." Without waiting for her reply, he already walked towards the car to her left. She didn't even notice the car earlier. "Let me help you." He opened the backseat and grabbed Tang Zheng, making him scream as he dragged him to the car.
"…" Speechless. She didn't know how to react. How could this man be so… so vicious?
"Are you just going to stand there?" His lips lifted into a gentle smile. Funny how he could easily smile like this after hurting someone.
"Oh! I… Let's go."
"Take the front seat." It was an order. "He won't die."
Sera opened her mouth but close it without saying anything. Then she sat on the front seat and waited for him to drive the car. She turned her head and look at the pale Tang Zheng who was still groaning from the pain. "Why did you do that?" she asked the man who was driving the car.
"You mean… why did I save you?"
"Yes. I didn't need your help."
"You're welcome," he smirked.
"I could handle it myself. He is drunk and weak." She knew she sounded ungrateful. However, she was just thinking about the possible trouble she was in. Tang Zheng came from a rich family while she… she was nothing..
"Don't worry about it."
She glared at him. "Let's go to A hospital."
"No."
"Huh?"
"We're going to Hospital Yi."
"But that's — " They needed at least thirty minutes to arrive at that hospital. Whereas hospital A is about ten minutes away from where they are. "What are you doing? He needed immediate care!"

"Is he dying?"
"You— "
"A few broken bones won't kill him."
Sera widened her eyes. This man… She wanted to ask him why he was doing this, but ended up staying quiet until they reached Hospital Yi.
"His parents?" Sera could smell the trouble coming. "Did they call his parents?"
"Hmm," the man sat next to her. He leaned against the chair and smiled at her. "Why are you so worried? Was he your boyfriend?"
"What? Of course not!" Her face darkened. She glanced at the flickering sign of the operation room. When they arrived, the doctor immediately informed them he would do surgery to his broken fingers. She could only hope that the procedure won't result in more complications. That would give her more trouble.
"Look at you, he fell and broke his fingers and you are so worried." Amusement apparent in his voice. "Do you like him?"
She glared at him. Cris… that's right. This man's name should be Cris. How could this man be so hateful? "Stop talking nonsense." She gnashed her teeth. The man's smug smile irritated her. It reminded her too much of her carelessness. Turning her head away, Sera looked at the operating room and sigh inwardly.
"I already took care of his bill. You should leave and take some rest." His warm voice drifted towards her. She frowned.
"I will wait for his parents."
"His parents are overseas. Their butler is on his way. This is no one's fault. After all, he fell on his own."
She pursed her lips. What kind of reason was that? Clearly, he did something to him. He didn't fall on his own.
"There's no CCTV in that area while there are three people that could confirm he fell on his own. The taxi driver earlier confirmed it too. Of course, if he is planning to take this to the court, the taxi driver will say he tried to assault you. It was self-defense."

"…" Sera stared at his face. Now that they are in a very brightly lit area, she could clearly see his features. His eyes weren't black. It was actually light brown. It was kinda like Cross's eyes. Aside from the color of their eyes, their faces were too different.
Wait… why was she comparing Cross to this man?
"Let's go?"
"I will wait here," she insisted.
"Then… I will wait with you,"
"You don't have to."
"Hm." He nodded.
Silently, Sera gritted her teeth, half in irritation, half in embarrassment. How could the world be this small? How could she meet him like this? She looked at his side profile. The bridge of his nose was tall and straight. In fact, his looks could easily rival some models and actors.
Wait… was this person an actor? She remembered how people always stared at him while they were walking towards the emergency. Was it because he is some known personality?
"Satisfied?" he smirked. "Stop ogling me. I am sensitive to passionate gazes, so it's making me uncomfortable."
"…" She wasn't ogling! Once again, she opened her mouth to rebut, but she couldn't really say anything. She was caught in the act. She lowered her head and clenched her hands.
"Sera? Miss Sera Zhang?"
Sera jolted and stared at the man wearing a black suit. "Yes? Are you— "
"I am Tang Family's butler, Tang Yong. Pleased to meet you." The man before her smiled. "The master and madam asked me to take care of this matter."
Sera nodded and look at Cris. Was he trying to intimidate the poor butler with his icy gaze?
"This way… please." The butler gestured them to the canteen and didn't speak until they were already seated. He then gave the two bottled water and cordially smiled. "What happen just now was…"
"Your young master tried to assault a poor woman." Cris' voice rang in her ears. He didn't bother to hide the anger in his voice. "If I wasn't there to help her, your young master might have succeeded."
Sera blinked. For some reason, this interaction made her confuse. First, the butler didn't ask who this man is. He only greeted Sera and acted cordial. By now, this butler must have known that she doesn't have any background. So… why was he acting like this?
Again, her suspicion that this Cris was an actor resurfaced in her mind. Perhaps he is well known? Sera doesn't like watching local TV. She does have a cable and would watch world news and movies. Because of this, she isn't very familiar with the actors and actresses in the country.
"That — Master and Madam are on their way to teach young master a lesson."
"…" She was clueless. She looked at Cris, blinking. "Ummm… I am Tang Zheng's classmate, and what happened just now was really — " She was about to explain that it was nothing but an accident. Tang Zheng was drunk. However, before she could finish her sentence, the old man already stood from his seat and gave him a low bow.
"Miss Zhang… I would like to apologize for my young master's mistakes. I have been with the young master since he was a child and he doesn't like drinking. He is also very kind and obedient. Please forgive Young Master Tang. I can promise you. We will keep this incident a secret. From now on, Young Master Tang would never bother you again."
"…" Ummm…. What the hell?
