Wolves, Maces, And Blood novel Chapter 36

Ten minutes later.

“Okay.”

Sean stood up and said with a smile, “Matthew, take a break. You don’t need socks.”

“Okay!”

Matthew Moore nodded.

Sean then looked at Cecilia and said, “Honey, you go and pour out the water and put this basin alone. Tomorrow, I’ll buy some medicine and soak his feet with the potion.”

“The potion?”

Cecilia was stunned.

Seam said with a smile, “Soaking the foot with medicine will do his leg good.”

With that, he turned and went to the kitchen.

Cecilia could not recover herself for a long time. She stared at Sean’s back, and frowned even more, thinking, “He’s acting like it’s real. Did he really study massage before? Was he a professional?”

After half an hour of massage, Sean had an idea of Matthew Moor’s disability. And he was confident he could get Matthew Moore back on his feet.

Soaking feet with potions could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, shortening the process of massage from half a month to ten days. Then, using acupuncture, he could restore feeling to Matthew Moore’s legs in at most 20 days.

As for standing up and walking, it would take a month or two.

“Marcia, do you want to talk to me?”

In the kitchen, Marcia was chopping vegetables. Sean’s voice was gentle, but it made Marcia uncomfortable. Her face turned cold.

She picked up the kitchen knife and looked fierce.

She stared at Sean and said seriously, “You and Cecilia are engaged, not married. Don’t be so polite to me.”

“Okay.”

Sean didn’t mind either, he asked, “Is there something you want to talk to me?”

“Of course.”

Marcia, still cutting to the chase, said quietly, “Just tell me the truth, what did Isaac give you for getting you out of prison? What did you promise him? Is there some kind of hidden agenda between you two?”

“Did Isaac give you that money?”

Marcia thought about it for a while and felt it was most likely that Isaac gave Sean enough money to marry Cecilia, move into his family, and ruin their entire family of four!

It was just that there are so many questions about Sean. Marcia couldn’t think of a more plausible explanation.

“Marcia, I understand how you feel.”

Sean knew that Marcia, Matthew Moore, and Cecilia would be suspicious of him and suspicious of his intentions and motives when he came into the life of the Moore family. So, he wasn’t surprised Marcia would ask him about that.

Shaking his head, Sean said sternly, “I can assure you that I only agreed to marry Isaac to protect Cecilia from being bullied by others.”

“I mean you no harm at all.”

Eyes to eyes, Marcia stared into Sean’s eyes, as if trying to read Sean’s mind.

“But why?” She asked a moment later.

“You don’t know Cecilia at all, why are you protecting her?”

“Because we…”

Sean swallowed, took a deep breath, and shook his head, “Marcia, I can’t tell you about me right now, but trust me, it won’t be long before you know.”

“You can’t tell me?”

Marcia was more suspicious and she snorted, “You can’t tell me, or are you afraid to? I guess you’re just afraid that if you spill the beans, I’ll catch you lying.”

“With your attitude, why should I trust you?”

With that, she waved her kitchen knife in front of Sean like a demonstration, “I’m warning you, don’t lay a finger on Cecilia and Phyllis, don’t hurt them, or I…”

“I’ll fight you to death!”
