CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Love and Sexual Desire Were Never Equivalent

Because the lights were still on, Francis instantly noticed her face, which was creased with worry. He hesitated briefly.

Then he took hold of Lilian's wrist and pulled up her nightgown sleeve to see a scrape and a large bruise on her elbow.

He pulled back her collar, and there was also a bruise on her shoulder.

Francis looked at Lilian. She closed her eyes, and her lips opened slightly. It took a long time for her to slow down the pain.

"Why didn't you apply for any ointment?" Francis asked, opening the adhesive bandage only to see that she had not applied ointment.

Lilian opened her eyes and hid the pain on her face, and gestured to show she was alright and not too serious.

She didn't dare to apply for any ointment, fearing it might affect the child. After all, the child was in a precarious state.

Francis got out of bed and rummaged through drawers and cupboards, and returned after a while, "Where's the first aid kit?"

The family was always cleaned up by Lilian. It was funny to say Francis was not familiar with his own home.

Lilian shook her head. She didn't want to apply ointment and gestured to show there was no first aid kit.

Francis frowned slightly and walked over to pull her. He said, "Then let's go to the hospital."

Lilian was momentarily startled and quickly waved her hands, gesturing indiscriminately.

She gestured, "No need to bother, I dealt with it. I am okay and the wound is already scabbed.."

She gestured, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

Francis stared at her for a moment, "Really not going?"

Lilian shook her head vigorously like a drum-shaped rattle, for fear that she would shake slowly, making Francis think that she was playing hard to get.

"Alright, we won't go then." Francis finally listened to her and lay back down on the bed.

This time, he didn't do anything to her. He simply wrapped his arm around her waist and went to sleep.

The bedroom was brightly lit because he didn't like to sleep in the dark.
