You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1874

Chapter 1874: Letting Her Go and She Actually Goes

"Oh, by the way, I brought the key to the treasury and it's now in my hands," Vicki said, lowering her head and taking out a chain from her pocket. She approached Felix, who had already pressed the automatic button by the side of the bed, raising it up so that he could lie at an incline against the bed's backrest.

Vicki extended her hand and hooked it around his neck, placing the necklace with the key around his sturdy neck.

Being so close, her well-proportioned figure almost pressed against Felix's cheek. His face grew slightly warm as he deeply inhaled her unique scent, belonging solely to her. It was at this moment that he felt a hint of reality. She was fine, she was okay.

"It's on," Vicki said as she fastened the necklace around Felix's neck. Just as she was about to pull away, Felix suddenly embraced her, burying his handsome face in her chest.

Vicki was taken aback for a moment, and then she pushed him gently, saying, "Don't act recklessly. Your shoulder injury hasn't healed yet, and the wound might split open. Endure it for a few more days and we'll take care of it when we get back."

Felix had only intended to hug her, but at this moment, he was completely stunned.

What was she thinking? Was there only that one thing on her mind? Or did she think that was the only thing on his mind?

Just then, a nurse pushed the door open and saw them in their ambiguous embrace. The nurse's face turned red with embarrassment, and she coughed twice.

She asked, "Should I come back later?"

Vicki moved away from Felix and turned to the nurse, saying, "No need, we weren't doing anything. You don't have to avoid us."

Felix remained silent. Perhaps it would have been better if she hadn't explained.

Blushing, the nurse approached them and said, "The doctor will be here soon. Let me change Mr. Saunders' wound dressing first."

Vicki stepped aside, saying, "Okay."

The nurse wheeled the care cart to the bedside and began to change Felix's wound dressing. When she removed the previously adhesive gauze, Felix couldn't help but let out a light moan. The wound was deep, and it really hurt.

"Can you bear it? If you can't, I can apply some numbing medication," Vicki said, crossing her arms and watching from the side.

Felix gritted his teeth, determined not to let her underestimate him. When she was shot, she didn't even furrow her brows.

He clenched his teeth and said, "What's a mere dagger? It doesn't hurt."

Vicki raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying his statement.

Suddenly, Felix let out a cry, "Ah!"

It turned out that the nurse was sprinkling powder on his wound, causing a strong burning sensation that made his whole body contract in waves. His scalp felt numb; it really hurt.

Vicki pouted, "Felix, I told you to apply some numbing medication earlier. This kind of antiseptic powder burns a lot, and you can't bear it."

Felix stubbornly endured the pain, not wanting to show weakness. When she was injured by a gunshot, she didn't even flinch.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What's a mere dagger? It doesn't hurt."

Vicki raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying his statement.

Felix forced himself to endure, not wanting to let her think less of him. After all, he didn't even flinch when she was shot.
