Chapter 893


    The wound was oozing blood.


    Stanley Batton soon noticed her wound.


    Without hesitation, he ced his arm around her back and scooped her knees.


    He lifted her easily and effortlessly, just like the cool hero in the movies.


    The people who watched them almost died of envy when they saw the man’s unabashed reaction to


    his wife’s tiny wound.


    Stanley’s stupendous act had garnered a lot of attention. X Quest’s cheeks instantly turned


    cherry red, embarrassed.


    She subconsciously threw her arms around Stanley’s neck and mumbled, “Hey, put me down…


    Many people are looking at us…”


    “So what?” Stanley kept a straight face, totally unaffected by the attentive eyes around him.


    He weaved through the crowd and marched into the elevator.


    The bodyguards followed closely behind them.


    As expected, the lovebirds had be the center of attention in the elevator as soon as they set


    foot inside it.


    Blush seared through X’s neck when she identally met the strangers’ eyes.


    The remarkable encounter had begun a wave of discussion among the crowd.


    “What kind of perfect husband is this? He’s spoiling his wife like a baby.”


    “That girl is so lucky, isn’t she? What a lovely couple.”


    “Are they Stanley Batton and X Quest? Oh my god, they’re so sweet! They make me believe in


    love.”


    “I really want to know how it feels like to be in the global-limited-edition nobleman’s arms.”


    Jibber-jabber spread among the crowd and pierced through X’s ears.


    She could feel her face burning with acute embarrassment.


    She scanned the babbling crowd around her before lifting her head to meet Stanley’s exquisite


    jawline. “Hubby, can you please put me down…”


    “Be a good girl or I’ll kiss you,” Stanley replied softly.


    X shut her mouth at once, her stomach felt knotted.

    When they reached the parking lot, the man strode out of the lift and carried her all the way to the


    car.


    After getting into the car, X moved to the passenger seat next to her and carefully took off her


    heels, observing the bloody wound in disgust.


    Stinging pain attacked her again, causing her to frown in agony.


    One of the bodyguards got into the car shortly afterward.


    Stanley turned to him and ordered coldly, “Hand me the band-aids and the iodophor in the glove


    compartment.”


    The bodyguard immediately followed his instruction and opened the glovepartment. He tore a


    band-aid and handed it to Stanley together with a small bottle of cotton balls soaked in iodophor


    solution.


    After Stanley took the things from his bodyguard, he carefully ced X’s right foot on his thighs.


    Then, he uncapped the bottle and used the tweezers inside the bottle to pick up a cotton ball. He


    transferred the wet cotton ball to her heel and gently tapped it on her wound.


    Iodophor solution seeped through her skin and flesh. In the very next second, X could feel the


    pain running down her heel again.


    “Hiss…” X could not help sucking air through her teeth, the nerves in her toes were as stiff as


    steel.


    “Hang in there… I’m almost done.” Stanley tried to clean her wound as lightly as he could, as if he


    was handling the most precious antique in the world. His eyes were locked upon her wound, and a


    serious expression was etched upon his face.


    The way he treated X melted X’d heart. Her soft lips subconsciously curved upward into a


    genuine smile.


    The bodyguard sat awkwardly in the car, seemingly tortured by the sweetness between the


    lovebirds.


    After he was done disinfecting her wound, he tore open the band-aid and put it on her wound. “Be


    careful. Avoid contact with water.”


    X nodded. “Okay. Thanks, hubby.”


    “Silly girl, do you have to say ‘thank you’ to me?” Stanley stroked her hair dotingly as he spoke.


    X’s smile widened. “Well, I have to say it. Oh, by the way…”
