Chapter 1637
"I'd like to redress your wound." Jared looked at Nicole and said. "I'm still worried about you."
'This woman is always looking out for others, but she would always put herself last and not take anything about herself seriously. I don't trust her at all,' Jared thought.
Nicole initially wanted to decline his help, but after noticing how serious he was, she could only listen to him.
Deep down, she wanted to fly into a tirade at him, for he was like a mind reader. He even knew that Nicole had simply dressed her wound.
After all, Nicole had suffered all types of injuries when she was on her clandestine missions. To her, this was just a minor injury, and with the Beacon at her disposal, an injury like that was not a cause for concern.
Jared received the first aid kit. Then, he stretched his hands out and pulled down Nicole's shirt off from her shoulders.
As the act itself was a little sensual, her face flushed at once.
The entire room became quiet. Under the light from the lamp and with a serious look on his face, Jared took a cotton swab and a medicinal concoction that promoted blood circulation. Then, he applied it on Nicole.
As Nicole felt the gentle touch from the cotton swab which
Jared was holding, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Although her elder brothers and parents did care her, she could never show them this side of her, even if she was hurt.
However, Jared knew everything about her. Even though she was injured, she did not have to put on a tough facade whenever she was with him.
Jared's hands were extremely gentle. It was as if he was handling a precious piece of treasure as he was treating her wound, worrying that he would cause her more pain.
At the sight of that, Nicole could not help but to assure him," It's fine. This is just a minor wound. I don't feel pain."
Seeing how Nicole was taking her injury lightly again, Jared became annoyed. "I love everything about you, except for this."
Nicole was stunned as soon as she heard that. "What do you hate me for?"
Then, she stopped and pondered about what he hated about her.
