Chapter 649


    Shane wasn’t even examining her wound. He was toying with her.


    How unexpected it is to learn that he has such a fetish!


    Only when Shane received a cold re from Natalie did he turn his attention to the injury on her foot.


    The injury in question turned out to be an abrasion on the back of her heel. With a patch of skin being


    rubbed off by friction, every little movement caused Natalie to wince in pain.


    She gasped at the slightest touch by Shane, who retracted his hand hurriedly.


    “I don’t think you can wear these high heels now,” Shane said in a very serious tone, “We must do


    something about your heel. Come, I’ll take you to the lounge.


    He picked up the pair of heels on the floor and swept Natalie off her feet in one swift motion.


    Natalie did not expect to be carried. As she let out a yelp of surprise, she instinctively wrapped her arms


    around his neck.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie’s exmation had drawn the attention of the entire dining hall onto both of them.


    Blushing at being the center of attention, she promptly buried her face in Shane’s chest to avoid the


    crowd’s gaze.


    Shane, however, remainedposed. Without even a flinch, he carried her over to the lounge as


    promised. As he passed the staring crowd, he even offered up an exnation. “My wife has injured her


    leg. I’m taking her for treatment.”


    The other guests smiled affectionately as they parted to allow them to pass more easily.


    They were very much impressed by Shane’s act of care for his wife.


    As a result, the couple arrived at the lounge without much trouble.


    Shane ced Natalie on the couch as a waiter arrived with some medication upon a tray. It was not the


    only thing that the tray bore, as Natalie caught sight of a brand-new pair of ts as well.


    “This was prepared by the princess. As soon as she had found out about Ms. Smith’s injury, she had had


    me bring these over specially for you.” The waiter ryed the message of his employer ordingly.


    It appeared that Shane’s words to the other guests found their way to the little princess’s ears.


    As a result, she had dispatched her servant to deliver some medicine and the ts.


    Having spared the trouble of having to request for those items himself, Shane was rather relieved. “Many


    thanks.” he nodded at the waiter.


    With a bow, the waiter departed.


    Shane brought the tray over to Natalie. Kneeling down before her like a noble knight, he ced her ankle


    on his knee.


    Natalie felt ufortable with their position as it made her feel embarrassed. “Darling, why don’t you sit


    next to me instead? Like how you did earlier. I’m not used to this.” She gestured at her outstretched foot.


    “Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it very soon.” Shane ignored her request as he proceeded to apply


    ointment onto her wound.


    When he was done, he made another sudden movement that made Natalie exim in surprise for the


    second time that night.


    He lifted her foot and kissed it.


    Natalie flushed crimson in an instant. Instinctively, she shoved him away. “What… what’re you doing?”


    “Can’t you tell?” Shane replied calmly as he ced her foot back down to put on the ts for her. “All


    done.”


    Natalie stared at the spot Shane had kissed. The patch of skin where his lips had brushed seared with


    embarrassment. “You…”


    Before she could speak, Natalie’s phone from within her purse rang which was a wee distraction


    from her predicament.


    With a sigh of relief, she rummaged through her purse for her phone and saw that it was a call from Lina.


    “Hello?” she picked up without hesitation.


    “Nat, hurry up ande over! Something had happened to Joyce!” came Lina’s urgent voice.


    Natalie’s face turned pale at Lina’s news. Without regard for the pain in her ankle, she jumped to her


    feet. “What happened?” she demanded.


    Shane frowned at the sudden seriousness in which Natalie responded to the phone call. He too stared


    curiously at the phone in her hand.


    “It wasn’t even anything serious. She’d met a couple and cried as she spoke to the guy,” Lina said with a


    forlorn nce at Joyce who was beside her.


    Natalie’s eyes narrowed. “Is the guy bespectacled and has a nice smile?”


    “That’s right!” Lina nodded eagerly. “You know him, Nat?”


    “He’s a friend of ours,” replied Natalie quietly.
