Chapter 560


    Chapter 560


    Weston’s eyes were still cold and distant, but they fixated on her. He was now sitting in bed and


    seemed to have no intention toe over and help Ste up to her feet.


    It was clear to her that he was still angry. He was mad over her recklessness in going to a ce like a


    bar and even provoking someone there, causing him trouble. Knowing this, she did not expect him to


    come to help her, and she slowly got up herself.


    Now that themp was on, she could easily pick up the first aid kit and ce it in front of him. She sat


    down on the bed and slowly untied his nightdress without looking at him. She pulled his sleeve down to


    reveal arge, fresh wound on his shoulder.


    With his entire shoulder exposed, Ste could clearly see his bulging muscles. His body looked strong


    and smooth, even more, impressive than some fashion model’s.


    Weston remained silent. Ste said nothing either.


    As she focused on the wound, her eyes were caught by the bruises on his knuckles. It was in that


    he didn’t pull his punches when he beat up Rory.


    Ste paused, then got the antiseptic, the iodine, some cotton swabs, and the gauze from the first aid


    kit. Then she proceeded to clean his wound.


    The second the alcohol touched the wound, an acute stinging


    sensation coursed through Weston’s body. But he remained expressionless . All he did was quietly fix


    his gaze on Ste’s face.


    It was as if time stood still. Only the clock on the wall was ticking.


    Each of Ste’s touches was very gentle, as gentle as a feather brushing against his skin. The sting


    caused by the antiseptic was nothingpared to the tickling sensation induced by Ste’s touches.


    Wherever she touched him, she brought about an inexplicable


    tickling that brought him over the edge.


    After taking care of the wounds on his arm, Ste looked up at Weston’s face once again. She


    discovered it was full of cuts and bruises too, not as much as the ones on Rory, of course, but it was


    evident of the severe damage he had taken.


    Those cuts exposed to water when he was in the bathroom had been somewhat bleached white.


    Without saying a word, Ste reached her hand up to clean them with the antiseptic…


    “What are you doing?” he suddenly asked, grabbing her wrist.


    “Isn’t it obvious ?” Ste responded. “I’m cleaning your wounds, of course!”


    She had just taken care of the cuts on his arm, so naturally, it was now time to move on to his face.


    Was that not to be expected? Ste wondered why he needed to ask her such a stupid question.

    Hearing this, Weston let go of her hand. He still looked gloomy, though. He didn’t say that he would


    allow her to go on, but he didn’t stop her either.


    The truth was, he hated it when people touched his face. It didn’t matter how close that person was to


    him; he still loathed


    Even Ste could work out during their short marriage that Weston had a strong sense of personal


    boundaries . But right now, she didn’t think much of it since she was focused on getting his wounds


    cleaned up.


    So she went on and carefully applied the medicine to his face.


    As she did so, she couldn’t help but marvel at how much luck had been on Weston’s side. With this


    wless face of his, it didn’t matter how many bruises or scars he got-it only served to make him look


    more striking and add more character to his look


    On the other hand, Rory got just a few more bruises than


    How different these two people were!


    Once Ste was done treating his wounds, she was about to clean everything up when she saw


    Weston glumly lying back down in bed.


    Apart from the few words he uttered just now, he had been practically silent the whole time.


    Ste opened her mouth to say something, but she hesitated, and no words came out. She just turned


    around and went out of the room to return the first aid kit to Joan.


    When she got back into the room, all she could see was Weston lying there with his eyes closed.


    Her shoulders slumped instantly. She was utterly exhausted.
