Chapter 323


    Under the effects of the medicine, Tina slept soundly.


    After she woke up, her mind was much clearer than before.


    At daybreak, she discovered Kara lying next to her. The little girl‘s body was curled into a tiny ball,


    making her look like an abandoned puppy. Her heart throbbing in pain for her daughter, Tina got up and


    carefully moved the little girl to the center of the bed.


    After tucking her in, she went to freshen up in the bathroom.


    Having taken the antipyretics and slept through the night, Tina felt sticky because she had sweated a lot.


    Right now, she needed to take a shower.


    One showerter, she changed into a set of simple clothes.


    Just as Tina walked out of the bathroom, she noticed Samuel‘s tall form standing quite close to her.


    “Ah!”


    Surprised by his appearance, she couldn‘t help but let out a shriek before quickly covering her mouth.


    “W–Why are you here?”


    Samuel didn‘t bother to answer her question. He gave her a onceover, noting that she was recovering


    nicely since she was very vignt toward him.


    “Come out. It‘s time to apply medicine to your wounds.”


    Apply medicine? What type of medicine?


    Confused, Tina wanted to inquire more about the unknown medicine. However, she was afraid of waking


    Kara up. In the end, she obediently followed Samuel out of the room. Samuel soon led her to another


    room.


    Tina noticed the medical report on the desk as well as the medicinal ointment that was meant to be


    applied externally. She finally understood what was going on. Just a while ago, she had gone to the


    hospital for a check–up. The doctor had administered the medicine to her.


    Unexpectedly, Samuel had discovered both the report and the medicine... Her cheeks were dusted pink


    as her head started buzzing. She wanted nothing more than to dig herself a hole and hide in it forever.


    “What are you standing around for?” Samuel frowned while asking impatiently. “Don‘t you want to make a


    quick recovery?” That question served as a bucket of ice–cold water that was dumped on Tina‘s form,


    thus snapping her out of her embarrassment. She took a deep breath, bowed her head, and said in a


    self–deprecating way, “I understand. I‘ll


    recover as soon as I can to avoid dying your need to have your way with me”


    Oddly enough, Samuel wasn‘t mad at all. “Aren‘t you a sassy one?” His deep baritone echoed coldly as


    he ordered, “Sit down.” Tina was bbergasted when she noticed Samuel picking up the ointment. What


    was he trying to do? Was he nning to apply the ointment directly to her wounds for her?


    “I–I can do it myself!” she stammered. However, Samuel refused to give Tina the chance to turn him


    down.


    “I have a video conference to attend in ten minutes. Don‘t waste my time.” Tina could only bite her


    bottom lip, extremely embarrassed. How ironic. Samuel had never once cared about her. How else


    would the wounds on her body appear in the first ce?


    Tina didn‘t dare to struggle, so she could only undress herself with quivering hands. Some timeter,


    someone knocked on the room door politely.


    A subordinate reported in a cautious manner, “Mr. Langford, it‘s almost time for the conference.”


    Samuel exited the room in wide strides, looking as if nothing had happened just now. Meanwhile, Tina


    followed him out of the room in an odd gait. She gritted her teeth, her cheeks already ame. At that


    moment, she looked like a wife who had just gotten harassed by her husband. The subordinate nced


    at her quickly before looking away, not daring to let his gaze linger on her. Then, he dropped her a


    reminder. “Miss Lynd, Mr. Langford‘s conference will end in about an hour.” Tina wanted nothing more


    than to flee to her room and forget about the embarrassing and painful memory


    on hearing the subordinate‘s words, she couldn‘t help but feel surprised. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
