Chapter 380 Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder
Why would he drag me?
Does he think he can’t carry me?
Her back throbbed fiercely, and she shot Finley a pleading glance.
“It hurts.”
That little expression of hers was enough to break anyone’s heart.
Finley gently kissed the bruise on her back. “Let me blow on it for you. It won’t hurt anymore.”
“Not a chance. It still hurts,” Samantha replied.
He paused, a bit taken aback. “Then, how about I put some ointment on it for you?”
“Okay.”

Finley helped her put her clothes back on and then said, “Wait here; I’ll go get the medicine for you.”
“Actually, the doctor prescribed some. It’s in the drawer. Just take it out and apply it for me.”
“Got it.”
Finley pulled a box of ointment from the drawer and carefully opened it. As he applied the medicine to her wounds, he asked softly, “How could that killer be so cruel? Look at the state you’re in.”
Samantha lowered her gaze and replied slowly, “Maybe it wasn’t the killer who did this.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that, Sam?”
Samantha felt a whirlwind of confusion within her. She wanted to share her thoughts with Finley, but they were just conjectures–unproven and potentially harmful to Elain’s reputation if spoken aloud.
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
“Are you keeping secrets from me?”
It wasn’t that she intended to hide anything; she just didn’t know how to tell him. After a moment of hesitation, she met Finley’s gaze and decided to share her suspicions. When she finished, Finley raised eyebrow. “If you want to know whether your theory is true, why not just investigate?”
“You can investigate?”
“What can’t I do?” he replied, continuing to apply the ointment.
“Then, go ahead and check. I don’t want the police to arrest the wrong person.”
Finley set the ointment aside. “Actually, the police might not be wrong, because even if he’s not the mastermind, he could still be an accomplice. The fact that he was willing to cooperate with Elain means their relationship is more than it seems.”
