Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1103

As she pressed her face against his chest, she could hear his strong heartbeat.

Only then did Vera realize something was wrong.

She should have resisted his embrace, not because she disliked him, but because she didn't want his care at a time like this. However, after being held in his arms, Vera fell for him all over again.

Because his embrace... was very warm.

It was the same feeling she had when she dreamed about him for so many nights. Now, it had become a reality.

Unfortunately, it was as much a fantasy as it was reality.

For Vera, these moments were like bubbles that could burst at the slightest touch.

Even though she knew this to be the case, she was still like a moth flying into a flame, bravely moving forward regardless of its safety.

After seeing the doctor, aside from the wound on Vera's face, she had bruises on her leg too. After her pant leg was lifted, a huge bruise could be seen on her knee extending to her calf. The doctor pressed on it lightly, and Vera started sweating in pain and gasped.

Seeing her reaction, the doctor suggested, "If possible, it would be best to take an X-ray and see if there are any cracks in your bone."

An X-ray? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?

"It's fine. I..."

"Where do we go for her to get an X-ray?"

Quill interrupted her. After getting directions from the doctor, he lifted her up and brought her over to get her X-ray taken.

The X-ray results came out very quickly. After taking a look at it, the doctor explained it to Vera.

"According to the X-ray, your bones are fine, but you shouldn't be doing a lot of walking for the time being. Have a few days of rest. I will give you some medicine for the swelling on your face and another one for your leg."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the medicine was prescribed, Vera sat on the bench alone and waited while Quill went to get the medicine. She sat there in a daze, quietly thinking about everything that happened that day. After thinking for a while, her brain became a mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all.

Just thinking about the scene in the nightclub was enough to make her tremble with fear. Vera shook her head, reached out to hold her cheek, and wanted to lean her face against her hand. However, she accidentally touched the swollen part of her face, which made her gasp in pain.

Just then, Quill came back with her medicine and sat down beside her.

He didn't say anything; he merely opened up the bag of medicine in front of her and took out a bottle of ointment. He opened it, put some of the ointment on his finger, and gestured it towards her face. Vera reeled her head back and looked at him uncertainly.

"Apply some ointment," Quill explained.

Quill stretched his hand domineeringly to her face. Although his action looked domineering, his touch was gentle when his hand landed on her face. The warmth from his fingers was mixed with the green cool cream, gently gliding over her skin.

She allowed Quill to apply the medicine for her, but she didn't dare to look into his eyes at all.

When he was done, he capped the ointment and said, "Apply it twice a day, morning and night. If it's still painful, apply it one more time. Be gentle when you wash your face, so you don't aggravate the wound."

Vera nodded.

"Your leg." Quill took out another bottle of ointment and squatted down in front of her, ready to take her shoe off.

"There's no need." Vera quickly stopped him. "I can do it myself."

It was not like her hands were useless. She could apply the ointment onto her knee herself.

Although Quill usually looked calm and unbothered, he had always been persistent with his actions, like applying ointment for her.

Despite Vera's refusals, he still rolled up her pant leg. After looking at the large bruise on her fair, slender legs, a disheartened look appeared on his face all of a sudden.

However, it disappeared quickly. He took the ointment and applied it on her skin. Probably because of the pain, Vera's body trembled slightly, and her hand subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes. Quill looked up and glanced at her.

"Is it very painful?"

Vera quickly shook her head. "No, it doesn't hurt."

Quill pursed his lips and looked at her with a helpless look on his face.

The pain was obviously unbearable, but she insisted that it didn't hurt Luckily he caught up with her; it he hadn't, she would have swallowed down the pain by herself.

"It'll be done soon; endure it for a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Quill's touch became softer and quicker; he didn't want her to have to bear the pain any longer.

When he applied the medicine, his movements were gentle, and his eyes were serious, giving people the impression that he was applying medicine for the woman he loved. The woman he loved...

Vera quickly pushed the words out of her mind as soon as they appeared. How could it be possible?

Vera bit her lower lip lightly and couldn't help but ask him.

"You... Why did you bring me to the hospital?"

She actually wanted to ask him why he was treating her so well all of a sudden, but she was afraid to ask him so directly. Perhaps all this meant nothing to Quill.

So she rephrased her question and asked him why he had brought her to the hospital.

She thought that Quill would catch her meaning from it.

"You're badly injured. Where else should you go other than the hospital?"

However, Quill disappointed her. He didn't seem to understand what she really meant to ask and completely missed the point.

No, this wasn't right.

Quill wasn't stupid. How could he not understand what she meant?

Perhaps he understood but pretended he hadn't. He merely answered what she asked.

Sure enough, it was more dignifying that way.

But she didn't want to give up. She still wanted to know, and she couldn't help looking at him again.

"Then you could've just dropped me off at the hospital. Why did you stay and help with the ointment?"

Quill was quiet.

He pursed his lips and slowed the movement of his hand a little. If he didn't catch her actual question before, then this time, he was bound to get it.

She was really asking him why he came back to her after rejecting her.

If he understood correctly, this was her true question.

Seeing that he did not speak, Vera then assumed another possibility.

That he still just felt sorry for her. was just the same when she was Anytime a woman was

inroad A

the man in front of her would suddenly turn affectionate.

Previously, she would have been secretly happy about this discovery, but now she thought it was just ridiculous.

Why on earth was she happy about this?

Quill's thin lips moved as if to say something. However, Vera quickly interrupted, "You don't have to say anything. I know why." Quill was speechless.

She knew why? Quill squinted and looked at her as he capped the ointment. Then, he pulled down her pant leg to cover her wound.

Seeing this, Vera took the medicine from his hand and put it back into the bag with a smile on her face.

"Thank you so much for today. How much did it cost in total?"

Quill didn't answer her. Vera coughed softly and said, "I know you have money, but this is my injury, and I should pay for the treatment. I've already troubled you enough for sending me here; I couldn't bear for you to pay for it too."
