Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

It was just a small gesture, but Alexander caught it. He quickly pressed the button to raise the car‘s partition that separated the driver and the back seat. Without waiting for Lily‘s consent, he picked up her injured foot and placed it on his lap. With the interior light on, he could see that Lily‘s ankle was red and swollen.

Alexander frowned at the sight and asked, “Why are you so easily injured?”

“How would I know?” Lily replied in a low voice.

It was as though she was fragile when all she had was a sprain. Alexander was the one who caused this, or more accurately, the way Edward drove the car.

“Your bones are fine. You just need to apply some cream on it after we‘re back. Reduce walking for a few days.” Alexander made his conclusion after checking her foot.

“You know how to check for injuries?” Lily was surprised.

“Checking on simple bruises and sprains is not hard.” Alexander raised his head to look at her, and his frown deepened.

“Your body...” Alexander said hesitantly after taking a whiff.

Although he did not finish the sentence, the look on his face was obvious.

“Me?” Lily was stunned for a moment as she looked at herself before asking, “Oh, do you mean the scent on my body?

“...” Alexander did not reply.

Lily had not expected him to come pick her up from work, so she could not get rid of the foul odor in time. Which was why they were currently in the embarrassing predicament.

Suddenly, Lily felt a hand on her shoulder. Before she could turn around, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

“Why did you sit so far away? Were you afraid I would eat you up?” Alexander said in dissatisfaction as he hugged her tighter. “I‘m afraid I would stink you up, too.”

“It doesn‘t stink!” He got close to her hair and took a deep breath to make his words more believable. “This smells so...cough...cough....”

Alexander still choked at the smell and coughed several times. His bodily reaction betrayed his words.

“I–I’ll shower once we get home.”
