One of the security guards even had a steel pipe as thick as an arm in his hand.
Shocked by that, Amelia crawled back into the house.
However, when she realized that the baby's portrait had been dropped at the door, she stared at the steel pipe while crawling out to pick it up.
When she got up again, she turned around and saw the man that terrified her and made her this hysterical. He had already unbuttoned all of the buttons on his shirt, showing…
What? Why are there bruises on his body? Is there something wrong with my eyes?
At this thought, she blinked over and over again before staring at Frank.
"Come here and apply the medicine for me," he ordered her coldly.
Medicine? There were injuries on his body, so the bruises that she saw were real. I'm not seeing things, am I?
Did he unbutton his shirt to ask me to apply the medicine for him? I thought…
At this moment, Amelia was having mixed feelings. She didn't know whether to cry or smile; she didn't even know whether to feel lucky or embarrassed. She was crawling and rolling on the floor just now and even fell down several times, but in the end, it was just because she was overthinking things.
Under Frank's pressure, she walked to him resignedly.
"Go to the cabinet and bring the medicine over," he instructed her to take the medicine.
Dr. Quimby had asked him to apply the medicine a few times every day to subdue the swelling and eliminate the bruises.
Before Dr. Quimby left, he helped him apply the medicine, so it was time to re-apply it.
Amelia went to take a few bottles of medicine while following his instructions. At his request, she wore disposable medical gloves and helped him apply the medicine carefully.
At this moment, she had so many questions in mind. Who could possibly hurt him like this?
He had sent people to bring her over to give her a painting and help him apply the medicine. What was all that for?
"It's Kendall," he suddenly explained, making her lift her head sharply to look at him. At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at her coldly too.
Amelia didn't dare stare at him for too long, so she lowered her head quickly and continued to apply the medicine to him.
"Go back and tell Kendall this—if they dare to do anything to me again, you'll need to atone for her. I'll order you around like you're my maid."
Hearing that, she was speechless. She was the one that he was taking his anger out on. He's such a sick man.
"You'll need to come here and take care of me for the next few days. If I feel like you're not doing a good job taking care of me, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
At this moment, she couldn't help but say, "President Mendelson, don't you think it's very inconvenient for me to take care of you? Don't blame me if our scandal comes up."
"If there's really a scandal about us, you'd definitely be the one who spread it. If that happens, I'll cut out your tongue to feed the dogs and bring your whole family down!"
She really wanted to pour the medicine in her hand onto his head, for she had met unreasonable people, but had never seen someone as unreasonable as him.
After trying her best to hold the anger in, only then did she not do anything. Since she was not like Kendall, who had some moves to defend herself, it would be hard for her to wriggle out of this.
Since she didn't dare go head-to-head with Frank, she became rough when she applied the medicine to him.
Feeling the pain, Frank quickly grabbed her hand and accidently knocked her other hand, which was holding the medicine. The medicine then spilled from the bottle.
Of all places, the medicine spilled onto his pants and into the middle of his thighs.
Instantly, his face darkened, and she was shocked.
He then pushed her, making her fall onto the ground.
"I'm sorry, President Mendelson…" Who asked you to suddenly grab my hand? He touched her and shook it, making the medicine spill just like that.
"I-I'll wash the pants for you." His ruthless glare made her panic and feel very embarrassed.
Dear God, can't you strike some lightning and let it hit me? I want to faint so that I don't need to see his scary face anymore.
Frank really wanted to cut her hands off. However, once he thought about Kendall and remembered his purpose, he forced himself to suppress the impulse and shouted for the people outside, "I need two people here."
Almost immediately, two security guards came in. When they saw the situation in the room, they were completely shocked, but they didn't show it on their faces.
"Drag this woman out!"
"Yes, Master."
The two security guards came forward to get Amelia up from the ground and carried her away.
Terrified by Frank, she didn't have strength in her legs to walk as well. Since he was kind enough to order two security guards to send her out, she could save her energy as well. As such, she simply lifted her legs and let the security guards carry her.
When Desmond saw the daughter of the Taylor Family being carried out by the two security guards, he didn't know what to say anymore.
After a while, he sighed and entered the room to see what had happened.
When he saw his Master half-naked with his wet pants and the bottles of medicine on the tea table, he understood the situation immediately.
Then, he walked over to Frank and said in distress, "Master, if you want to apply the medicine, you can just tell me. Why make it hard for yourself?"
Frank just kept his poker face on and didn't say anything.
Seeing his reaction, Desmond sighed again and pushed a wheelchair in. Frank had asked him to buy this wheelchair last time when he was stepped on in the foot by the second daughter of the Parker Family, and he pretended to be severely hurt. It was finally serving its purpose now.
The wounds on Frank's knees were blatantly obvious.
"Master, you should go upstairs to take a shower and change your clothes."
Frank didn't reject Desmond's kindness.
On the other hand, Amelia was carried out by the Mendelson Family's security guards and thrown at the entrance of the manor. Her arms and legs were all scratched.
However, she seemingly didn't realize the pain. She waited for the security guards to leave and quickly stood up. Not forgetting the portrait, she brought it along and dashed away.
"Kendall." When Amelia showed up at Jessie's office, it was already evening. Kendall was going to finish work in half an hour.
"Amelia, lower down your voice." Kendall knew that her best friend was here for her since the front desk had informed her about it.
When Amelia saw Jessie, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and released it to apologize to Jessie. "Sorry for bothering you, Ms. Secretary."
Jessie saw that Amelia was in a hurry and even shouted for Kendall so anxiously before arriving, she knew that Amelia had something urgent to tell her friend. She said gently, "It's okay. Kendall, you should bring your friend to the VIP room."
"Okay. Come here, Amy." Kendall stood up and tugged on her best friend's arm before dragging her out of Jessie's office to the VIP room.
As soon as they entered the room, Amelia quickly sat herself down and told Kendall, "Kendall, can you bring me a big glass of water? I'm dying. Also, do you have anything to eat here? I haven't eaten anything today. I'm famished."
"We do. Hold on." Kendall poured her a glass of water and brought her some snacks and fruits.
Amelia was really thirsty and hungry after Frank scared the living daylights out of her. After running away from the Mendelson Family's territory, only then did she realize that she had left her bag in the Mendelson Residence.
As such, she had no money and couldn't make a call. What made it worse was that there were no cabs around the Mendelson Residence, so she could only walk.
She walked until her feet started to feel the pain, and only then did she get a cab. She then asked the driver to drive her to the Parker Corporation. As for the fare, she borrowed it from the Parker Corporation's security guard on duty.
This was why she only arrived at such a late hour.
