Lyar Harper sat quietly near the window.
The professor continued explaining the next topic but her attention had already drifted away from the classroom.
She rested her cheek against one hand and looked outside of the window.
Her eyes suddenly stopped when she found someone familiar. He was lying on the ground relaxing and taking deep breaths after intense physical class.
A boy with a black hair, confident posture and a relaxed smile across the face but sweat make him look more like a celebrity.
It was Jack Smith.
Her expression changed slightly after seeing him.
The sight of him brought back an old memory.
A memory from the night she ran away from home after having an argument with her father.
A few days earlier in the dark night the city was quiet.
Jack was sitting on the back passenger seat of the luxurious car returning home from the party.
He leaned against the seat and looked out of the window at the passing streets.
The party had been exhausting yet it was fun with Lucas and Ryan.
He just wanted to get home and take a beauty sleep for my handsome face.
Suddenly—
The driver slammed his feet on the brakes to stop the car.
Screech!
Jack's body moved forward and came backward forcefully. The good thing is that he wears a seatbelt it's prevent injuries.
"What happened?" He asked to drive.
The driver looked nervous on the road and said,
"Young Master...There is someone in front of the car."
Jack frowned because if he gets home late then my brother is going to lecture me.
He looked through the windshield.
A young woman was standing in the middle of the road.
Her clothes were slightly messy.
One hand was pressed against her injured arm while one of her legs seemed to be causing her considerable pain.
Jack immediately opened the door after seeing she was injured.
"Are you alright?" He was worried about her condition.
'She is not a scammer right?," he thought.
The girl looked at him with panic in her eyes.
"Please…"
'Here she is going to ask for money,' he thought.
"Help me."
Jack's expression remained calm on the surface but inside he wanted to slap her for scamming him.
"What happened?"
'If I don't see these types of scam then I will believe what she says but look at the way she acts.' he thought.
"Some men are chasing me."
She glanced nervously behind her.
"I don't know them."
'Even though they're my bodyguards, if he knows about that he will help me.' she thought.
"They've been following me."
Jack looked down the empty street.
Then back at her.
He didn't know whether she was telling the truth.
But leaving an injured girl alone in the middle of the road wasn't something he could do.
"Can you walk?" He asked, looking at her leg.
She tried to take a step to walk but her face immediately tightened up with pain and replied in a painful voice.
"...Not properly."
'I got this injury when I was running away from home.' she thought.
Jack sighed.
"Come on."
He takes a few steps closer to her then carries her like a princess by his arms.
The girl was surprised by his action.
Jack opened the rear door of his car but he noticed her hesitation on her face.
"You can trust me." He said.
After a brief hesitation…
He took her silence as yes then put her on the seat.
Jack sat beside her inside the car.
"Drive to the nearest hospital."
"Yes, Young Master."
The car quickly disappeared into the night.
After 35 minutes they finally reached the hospital.
Jack stepped out from the car, he saw that she was not able to walk so he ordered the driver to bring a wheel chair.
The driver brings the wheelchair, then Jack again carries her like a princess and puts on the wheelchair they went inside.
A doctor carefully examined the girl's injuries.
She had a wound on her leg and another injury on her hand.
Fortunately, neither was serious, it's only a minor injury.
The doctor cleaned the wounds and applied bandages.
"She needs to rest for a few days."
"Don't put too much pressure on the injured leg."
Jack nodded.
"Thank you, Doctor."
While they were talking...
The hospital director suddenly entered the room.
The moment he saw Jack, his expression changed.
"Young Master Jack?"
Jack looked at him.
"Oh, Director?"
The director immediately approached him.
"Why are you here?"
"Did something happen?"
This hospital comes under the Smith family corporation.
There are more than 20 hospitals or we can say their business is mostly in the medical field and other fields also have companies but mainly is medical.
Jack shook his head and said in a friendly tone.
"I'm fine, I'm here because she was injured."
The director glanced toward the girl who was lying on the bed and put a hand on Jack 's shoulder then said in a serious tone.
"I know you are young and such mistakes can happen; be careful next time."
Jack was trying to process what he said. What kind of mistake did he make?
After realising what he had said, 'What the hell he was thinking. Oh, no I have cleared this misunderstanding otherwise my parents and brother will kill me.' he thought and ran to stop the director to clear the misunderstanding.
After 15 minutes he came back to the room where the girl was resting.
Then he looked toward the girl, her injuries had already been treated and payment also done.
Jack pulled out his phone from the pocket.
"So..What's your name?"
For a moment the girl hesitated and considered telling him the truth.
Lyar Harper the heiress of the Harper Family.
The family whose name was known throughout the country.
But she stopped herself.
If Jack knew who she was…
Would he still treat her the same way?
Would he suddenly become polite? Like others who fear the Harper family.
Would he try to get close to her because of her family's wealth? Like others who try to get benefits from me.
