Chapter 676 He Has Fallen in Love With Her
“Where is he?”
Amidst the tension, Arnold cracked a joke and said, “You finally admit he’s not at home.”
How shameless! Josie realized she had fallen for his cunning words. She was seething with anger and yearned to break free from his hold.
Arnold firmly grasped her hand as they crossed the pedestrian crossing, approaching the pharmacy on the other side.
“I will tell you everything after you treat my wound,” he said, tightly gripping her hand.
Josie was like a marionette, helplessly being led by Arnold.
He bought medicine and gauze, placing them before her, and commanded, “Tend to the
wound.”
Anger thrummed through her veins as Josie grabbed a cotton swab to clean Arnold’s hand. Half-expecting to wince in pain as the alcohol touched his skin, he bit his lower lips.
When Josie looked up, she saw Arnold frowning in silence. Disheartened, she became gentler while tending to his wound and murmured, “Violent men reap what they sow.”
Arnold remained composed as she tended his wound and asked, “Are you in such a hurry today because of me?”
Josie jerked a sharp breath and swallowed dryly as Laura asked a similar question. Josie quickly shook it off and continued, “I helped you, thinking you’d return the favor for a clean slate. It’s a pity you can’t appreciate it.”
“No one’s looking for a clean slate here,” Arnold’s voice was icy as he held her chin firmly, locking eyes with her.
Josie’s breath was caught in her throat as she caught a whiff of his cold tobacco scent.
Suddenly, she curved her lips and burst into laughter as if something funny had been said.
