Chapter 1317
Alden quickly put Nerola on the couch.
Then, he checked her foot. When he saw the bloodstain, he frowned and asked in a low voice, “Do you have a first aid kit at home?”
“Yes.” Nerola nodded. “It’s under the TV cabinet.”
Alden sized his surroundings up before he walked to the TV cabinet and took out the medical box.
He took cotton swabs, iodine, band–aids, and gauze. Soon after, he walked back and put the things on the tea table.
Next, he bent down to take Nerola’s slippers off.
Nerola was shocked, and she instantly moved her leg away. “No… you don’t have to!”
“Don’t move.”
Alden did not care about her resistance. Instead, he just held her ankle.
He took off her slippers, revealing her fair and petite foot. It had a nice shape to it. Her skin was smooth like jelly, and her toes were as fair as jade. Her round toes looked extremely cute together.
Alden’s gaze gradually turned dark as he looked at her wound.
There was a bump on her skin, and blood was oozing. It looked slightly alarming on her fair skin.
Alden had been independent since he was little, and he was very skillful in trivial matters such as handling wounds. He held her ankle and put her foot on his knee before he soaked the cotton swab in iodine and carefully wiped her wound.
Nerola was totally dumbfounded.
She never thought that someone in this world would ever treat her like this.
From a young age, all she received was prejudice, hatred, and criticism. After she grew up and became independent, others continued to hate her, resent her, and scheme against her.
This was her first time seeing someone care for her injury and treat it.
On top of that, the person was Alden who had a noble status.
The hour hand on the wall clock slowly ticked, while the living room was in absolute silence. Other than the sound of their breathing, only fine sounds of Alden bandaging her wound could be heard.
“Okay.” Nerola nodded, and after a while, she said, ” Thank you.”
