John appeared solemn as he said seriously, "If I’d insisted that you went home with me, this definitely wouldn’t have happened."
Chloe did not expect him to say this as a warm feeling filled her heart while she shook her head. "How are you to blame?"
"You are my wife. It’s my fault that you’re hurt.”
Chloe was speechless. Her face blushed again, and she did not know what to say.
John curled her lips slightly and reached out to touch her hair lightly.
The car bypassed a mountain road and finally stopped in front of a bungalow. Assistant George got out of the car and opened the door for them. John went down first. Just when Chloe was about to get out of the car, she was suddenly lifted up from her seat and they strode towards the villa.
Slightly startled, Chloe struggled subconsciously but was reprimanded by the man, "Don't move!"
She narrowed her mouth as she observed the frown on the man’s face and swallowed her words. Should she assume that because her knee was hurt, every man would be a gentleman and be so kind to her?
However, despite thinking so, when leaning on John's broad shoulders, a warm feeling rose in her heart.
The villa that John lived in was very large. It was at least several times larger than the Hendersons’ family villa.
He carried Chloe as he walked all the way into the house and went straight up to the second floor. Then, John kicked open the door of a bedroom, walked in, and put her on the bed.
The bedroom was designed with simple black and white lines, which was in line with the style of a typical man. Although not all of the decorations were precious, they were carefully designed and looked very tasteful.
After John put her on the bed, he took off her shoes.
Chloe froze before she stopped him, insisting anxiously, "I'll do it myself!"
However, her outstretched hand was blocked by the man. John raised his eyes to glance at her and smiled. "I have never helped a woman remove her shoes. You are the first."
Chloe was slightly startled as she blushed and was suddenly even more at a loss.
She was wearing a pair of white sneakers today. The man's slender and beautiful fingers smoothly untied her shoelaces and took off her shoes.
Then, he peeled off her pink socks.
By this time, Chloe realized that her ankle was bruised and swollen because she had sprained it. However, she did not notice it just now, so how did he find out?
Before she could fathom it, John frowned and said, "Sit down for a while. I’ll be right back.”
After speaking, he turned and walked out. When he walked to the door, he paused abruptly, then turned around and added, "Remember to take off your pants. The wound on your knee must also be treated.”
Chloe was speechless.
Three minutes later, he came up again with a medicine box in his hand. As soon as he entered the doorway, he found Chloe still sitting on the bed with her pants on.
A flash of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows as he walked towards her. He squatted down and said in a deep voice, "Why didn’t you obey what I told you to do?"
Chloe’s feelings were indescribable. Was a grown man telling a girl to take off her pants even appropriate?
John narrowed his eyes slightly as if he could sense her shyness, then he suddenly laughed evilly. "I have seen every part of you, so don't be shy."
Chloe's pink face suddenly blushed even deeper, and she pushed him away. "B*stard!"
"Ha!" As if she was not embarrassed enough, The man grabbed her hand quickly and kissed it.
Chloe was dumbfounded.
Oh, this b*stard!
"Hey, the wound will become inflamed if it’s left untreated. Come on. Let your husband take a look," John coaxed her like a child and he was about to remove her pants for her.
It was very late when they arrived at the hospital. The doctor on duty gave her some medicine and advised her about some food and drink precautions, then the two went back.
When they got back, Chloe's legs were bandaged, so it was more inconvenient for her to move about. As usual, John carried her upstairs.
Chloe suddenly thought if that meant that they were going to stay under the same roof together tonight. In fact, she understood that based on the current situation, it would be hypocritical if she insisted on leaving, but she was not ready to stay the night together either.
John seemed to read her thoughts. He stretched his hand out and rubbed her head vigorously, saying, "Don't overthink. I will sleep in the guest room tonight."
Chloe was embarrassed at first, but she was even more flustered when the man said that. She could not help but yell, "Who is overthinking!?”
John chuckled and did not take it to heart. After putting her on the bed, he wrung a hot towel to wipe her hands and face. Chloe was a little shy to be served that way, but every time she wanted to do it herself, he stopped her. She thought about it and could only ease the embarrassing atmosphere by changing the topic.
"As for that person earlier tonight..."
"Don't worry. I have sent someone to deal with that person."
"Deal?" Chloe frowned slightly. "Shouldn’t you call the police?"
As soon as the words left her lips, John suddenly looked up at her and said, "I’ll call the police, so don't worry."
After that, he had her lie down and covered her with the quilt. Only then did he walk out with the towel.
The door was locked softly behind him, and John's gentle expression immediately went stony for a moment as he picked up the phone to call Special Assistant Jamie.
"Special Assistant Jamie, how are things going?"
"Boss, it has been settled!"
"Alright." John thought for a while, and finally added, "Look for Joel and get him to send the person to the police station."
