Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 35

Clara immediately turned around, only then to realize that Ethan’s back was pierced by shrapnel and covered in blood.

No wonder she could smell blood just now.

Clara’s heart clenched fiercely. She immediately took off the silk napkin around her stomach and covered his wound with it in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

“Baxter, stop a car!”

“Okay!” Just as Baxter was about to stop a car, Donny came by to pick Ethan up.

Looking at the scene, Donny face turned ashen. He immediately asked Baxter to drive to the hospital, while he stayed to handle things at the scene.

The car sped all the way to the hospital.

In the back seat of the car, Clara sat next to Ethan, holding her scarf to his back with both hands.

Her silk scarf had long ago been soaked in blood, but blood was still flowing from his wounds.

Even after suffering such a severe injury, Ethan’s expression remained indifferent.

He seemed to feel the hands pressed against his back trembling. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Clara who was biting her lip, “It’s only shrapnel, not a bullet, don’t worry.”

Clara grunted in acknowledgment but seeing such a large piece of shrapnel stuck in his back, she couldn’t relax even if she wanted to.

George, looking handsome dressed in a white coat, had been told to wait in the emergency department.

Looking at Ethan’s wound, George raised his chin towards the hospital bed, “With such a shallow wound, let’s just do it here, otherwise the operating room will get dirty, and someone will have to clean it again.”

Clara “...”

The piece of shrapnel had embedded itself deep, and when George took it out, Clara saw his flesh and skin pulled away to reveal his bones. Her heart skipped a beat.

If Ethan hadn’t thrown himself at her in time, she would have been the one blown into a bloody mess.

She owed Ethan...

While cleaning Ethan’s wounds, George lazily asked Clara, “how did Ethan get this wound?”

“The car suddenly exploded.” Clara looked away, unable to bear continuing to look at the wound on the man’s back. “Ethan protected me, that’s why he was hit by the shrapnel.”

Hearing this, George’s eyes flashed, revealing an understanding look.

I guess that guy did it again.

“Ethan, congratulations.” George’s thin lips curled up, and he teased the man with a smile, “You won the big prize again.”

“Shut up.” Ethan glanced at him coldly.

George wasn’t that brave and didn’t tease Ethan anymore. After wrapping his wound, he threw his medical gloves on a plate.

“Ethan, will you stay in the hospital or?”

“It’s just a light injury. I won’t stay here.” Ethan took the clothes handed to him by Baxter and quickly put them on.

“That good, that way I won’t have to arrange a room for you”, George shrugged and turned to look at Clara. “Clara dear, do you live with Ethan?”

“...”

Clara felt that this little ponytail man was being too familiar with her, he had only met her twice before and already called her that.

But she still nodded. “Yes.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Ethan during this period. Make sure he only eats bland foods. He can’t take a shower before his wound closes. If he insists on washing up...” George paused, and then continued with a teasing tone, “Then you should help him!”

Hearing him say this, Clara remembered that night when she had helped Ethan wash his hair, and instantly felt uncomfortable. She vaguely agreed.
