Chapter 73
Chapter 73:.
Before going upstairs, Hayden asked the servant for some burn cream. He knocked on the dressing room door.
“Come in.” Joseph had already stripped off his clothes leaving him with only a towel, the pajamas he wore earlier lying in disarray on the floor.
“Are your legs all right? I brought you some burn cream.” Hayden said as he stood in the doorway.
Joseph nodded, “Thanks.”
“Don’t worry, the burn cream is from your house anyway. I’ll put it here for you to apply then. I’ll leave again.”
“No, apply it for me. It was your food that burned me.”
“Hey! Why don’t you make sense, do you think I cooked just to burn you?”.
“I didn’t say you did it on purpose.” Joseph looked at her and said, “Could you help me? I really don’t know how to use this cream.”
Hayden’s face turned red as Joseph continued to look at her. He hesitated for a moment before taking the cream.
Hayden reached down and lifted the corner of the towel, revealing a large burned region on her skin. Her heart pounded inexplicably as she realized the burn was quite severe.
“Look, you need to rub the cream between your hands until it feels warm, and then apply it to the burned region.”
He sat down and gave her a demonstration, rubbing some cream on her hand. As he was about to apply the cream to her burn, he hesitated for a moment, “You should do it yourself.”
She took a step back.
Suddenly, Joseph grabbed her wrist, “You do it.”
“Why, it’s not like you can’t reach your wound.”
“It’s annoying.”
Hayden was mute for a moment, “You can wash your hands after you apply it. You’re lazy, young master.”
When Joseph heard her mocking tone of calling him ‘young master’, his eyes twitched slightly.
He thought about Joseph’s lavish lifestyle, realizing that he must never have applied any medicine himself before. Hayden looked at the ointment in his hand and nodded, “I’ll do it then, but first you have to let go of me.”
Joseph looked down and saw that a lock of Hayden’s hair was sliding down from his shoulder and covering his cheek.
He reached out and pulled the lock of hair to the back of his ear.
Hayden shivered a little. When she turned her head in surprise, their eyes met.
They looked at each other for a while before she recovered from the surprise and said in fright, “It’s almost done. You should clean it up yourself. I’m going.”
Joseph stopped her once again. He grabbed her so hard that she exclaimed, “Joseph, you…”.
Hayden immediately struggled.
He didn’t know if he had accidentally touched her wound, because a moan sounded in his ear.
“Did I accidentally touch your wound?”. Hayden didn’t dare move and asked in fright.
Joseph took her in his arms, “It’s okay.”
“You…let go of me.” Hayden gritted her teeth.
What if someone saw them?
Hayden’s attitude upset Joseph greatly. He felt a fire rise in his chest. Without a second thought, he lifted her chin and leaned toward her.
“Hmm…”.
Hayden’s eyes widened in shock and her pupils dilated.noveldrama
As he was about to move on, Hayden suddenly recovered from his surprise. She pushed him away in an instant and gave him a fierce slap across the face as she raised her hand: Slap!
The sound of that slap echoed through the dressing room, even the servants downstairs looked up to the second floor when they heard it.
Hayden’s hand was still shaking.
She was really scared, because she never thought Joseph would do something like that to her all of a sudden. She suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself, “If you think I’m staying here in exchange for you doing those things, Stella and I can leave immediately. Getting involved in other people’s marriages is already beyond my moral principles.”
