Chapter 41
Unexpectedly, it seemed like the car was heading straight for her, driving right next to her and then abruptly stopping with a
“screech” sound!
Instinctively jumping to the side, she twisted her foot due to her unsteady landing. “Oh!”
She instantly fell to the ground, a piercing pain radiating from her ankle.
She thought, ‘How unlucky!’
The car came to a halt, the door opened, and someone stepped out. She felt nervous, angry, and scared. Looking up at the
person, she couldn’t help but scold, “Do you even know how to drive?!”
“What are you hiding from?”
Almost simultaneously speaking, Seraphina was momentarily stunned, and indeed, upon a closer look, it was Dashiell. She
pouted, feeling like crying and laughing at the same time.
“H-How is it you?!”
As he did not notify her beforehand, he made her overthink, unnecessarily scaring herself.
“Who else could it be?” Squatting down in front of her, Dashiell used the car’s light to carefully examine her foot. “Are you
injured?”
“It’s okay. I just twisted it a bit!” With his help, Seraphina managed to stand up and moved her b*dy into the car. She felt instantly
relieved.

The car was driven by Brayan. Dashiell also got in, and then closed the car door. “Drive.”
The car slowly started, and he immediately asked, “Which foot did you twist?”
Seraphina was speechless.
“It’s okay. We can check it when we get back,” she subconsciously touched her ankle with her hand and said softly.
Even this small gesture didn’t escape his notice.
Dashiell quickly pressed a button, raising the partition between the front and back seats. Then, without hesitation, he lifted her
injured foot and placed it on his lap.

When the car lights brightened a bit, the red and slightly swollen ankle became visible, causing him to frown. “Why do you
always get injured so easily?”
“I don’t,” Seraphina whispered.
She thought, ‘He is talking about me as if I’m a porcelain doll, when in fact, it’s just a twisted ankle. Speaking of which, it’s also
because of him... Well, there is a problem with his driver’s driving.’
“There’s no injury to the bone or tendon. When we get back, let’s apply some ointment to it. Try not to move around too much
these days.” After kneading her foot a bit, he quickly made the diagnosis.
Seraphina was quite surprised. “You can also give medical advice?”
“For common sprains and twists, it’s not that complicated.” Dashiell looked up at her, then his forehead furrowed even tighter.
With a twitch of his nostrils, he hesitated a bit. “You...
He didn’t finish the sentence, but the suspicion in his eyes was evident.
“Me?” Seraphina was momentarily puzzled. She lowered her head to check herself, then instantly realized. “Oh, you mean this
smell on my b*dy?”
Dashiell remained silent.
“I was experimenting, and I got it in the lab.” She adjusted her clothes a bit, but there was no way to get rid of this kind of smell
easily. Even if she washed her hands repeatedly, there would still be some on her b*dy.
No wonder when she got in the car just now, Brayan glanced at her. That look was obviously hesitant and filled with suppressed.
curiosity.
“The lab?” A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Dashiell said, “If I remember correctly, you are a perfumer, not a maker of bad
smells, right?”
Looking at his expression, Seraphina almost burst into laughter. His eyes clearly said, “Aren’t you kidding me?”
“It’s perfuming! But there are millions of fragrances, and the components are also very complex. Even if there are unpleasant
odors, they can be analyzed and separated. My task for these 2 days is to analyze the components and differences of 48 smells.
This will be helpful for future applications.”

Chapter 41
The perfuming industry, seemingly simple, also involved many complex elements and required a fair amount of applied chemical
knowledge. If one did not truly love it and was just purely interested, it was likely they wouldn’t persist for too long.
Dashiell remained silent for a while and didn’t say anything anymore.
Seraphina figured he was reluctant to speak due to the smell, so she spontaneously moved to the side and cracked open the car
window a bit to let some air in. It was really... embarrassing!
She didn’t expect him to come to pick her up, and she couldn’t quickly get rid of the smell on her b*dy. It was definitely a bit
awkward now.
A hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. Then, before she could turn her head, she was pulled into a broad embrace.
“Sitting so far away, are you afraid I’ll eat you?” he said discontentedly, tightening his grip.
Seraphina replied, “I was afraid of smelling bad to you.”
“How are you smelly?” As if to confirm his claim, he suddenly lowered his head and took a deep breath in her hair. “This isn’t...
cough... cough...”
Seemingly choked, his b*dy’s reaction was quite honest, coughing repeatedly.
Seraphina was speechless.
“I’ll... go home and take a shower.”
