Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 742

"Boss!" The doctor was taken aback to see her enter. "Why did you come in alone?"

"All of you, get out. I'll handle this." Juniper shoved her hands in her pockets and walked forward, her face a mask of indifference.

"Boss—" A subordinate standing guard glanced at the Sigma Network leader, his face etched with worry. The man might be injured, but he still looked full of vigor. Leaving the boss alone with him was dangerous.

Juniper said nothing, merely staring coldly at the subordinates who were about to argue, her presence overwhelmingly intimidating.

"Yes, ma'am." The doctor and guards didn't dare say another word. They bowed respectfully and filed out of the room, leaving only Juniper and Shanley.

Juniper walked to the hospital bed, looking down at the pale, blood-soaked man. He was about to bleed out, and he still refused treatment?

"Juniper…" Seeing her stare at him without expression, Shanley's heart began to pound. He completely forgot about his wound, about the pain.

"You're in high spirits for a captive, aren't you?" Juniper pulled her hands from her pockets and crossed them over her chest, a humorless smile on her face. "For someone of your skill to get caught by Subterra Vanguard, and even get injured… Tsk, you must have gone to a lot of trouble, didn't you?"

Shanley listened in silence, not daring to utter a single word of protest. Juniper had seen right through his scheme.

"I'm sorry," Shanley said, his lips pressed together and his eyes bloodshot. His voice was hoarse. "This was the only way I could see you."

Juniper's eyelashes fluttered as she looked at his pained expression.

"Ahem…" Speaking too quickly agitated his wound, and Shanley couldn't suppress a cough. The more he coughed, the faster the blood flowed. In the midst of it, he secretly glanced at Juniper's reaction, worried that his injury wasn't severe enough.

"Just shut up." Juniper glanced at the wound, pulled on a pair of gloves, and picked up sterilized forceps. She looked down at him. "Do you want it treated?"
