Chapter 1157 Is it scary?
Evelyn suddenly felt that he looked cuter when he was worried and anxious for her just now.
Without looking at the mirror, she raised her hand and covered the doorknob, and wanted to get out. "Open the
door. I want to go home."
Knowing that she was shy, Huston did not continue to tease her. He opened the car door and followed her out.
The elevator in the garage went directly to the living room. After they arrived, they took off their shoes. Sadie was
in the kitchen preparing food, and when she saw the two of them returning, she quickly came over to greet them.
"Mr. Lloyd and Miss Shelton, you're back."
Upon smelling the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen, Huston glanced at Sadie and remarked, "Since you've
come back, there's been a continuous flow of delicious food in the house. In no time, Sadie could get a nutritionist
certificate."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSadie chuckled and said, "Of course, I can't stop cooking for Miss Shelton to help her get healthier!"
She treated Evelyn well, and that pleased Huston as well. "Sadie, you've been working here for quite a while now.
Starting next month, let's increase your salary a bit more."
Although Sadie's previous salary increased every year by a certain percentage, usually around ten to fifteen
percent, now that Huston personally spoke up, it would be doubled or even more.
Sadie was flattered. "Sir, how can I..."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just accept it." Huston didn't say anything else. He changed his shoes
and pulled Evelyn upstairs.
As she watched Huston's retreating figure, Sadie knew he was a person who appeared tough on the outside but had
a soft heart. Despite always wearing a stern expression, deep down, he was a warmhearted person.
In any case, with the raise in salary, Sadie was happy and went back to the kitchen contentedly to continue cooking.
Evelyn was carried upstairs by Huston. He bent down to put her on the bed and took the ointment prescribed by his
father. "Turn over and lie down. I'll help you apply the ointment."
"Now?"
"Yeah," Huston nodded.
Although Evelyn hadn't seen the dreadful state of her back in the mirror, she could imagine how scary it must be.
Sitting on the bed without moving, she said, "I'll handle it myself..." "Can you reach it yourself?" Huston repeated
sternly, not allowing any objections. "Turn around, don't make me worry."
Evelyn was speechless.
At this point, Evelyn had no choice but to turn over and lie down obediently. She leaned her face against the cold
bed, feeling a little uneasy.
She was afraid that he would feel sick when he saw it and that it would hurt when he applied medicine to it.
However, the man behind her did not hesitate at all. He lifted her clothes directly but then stopped.
Evelyn turned to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Nothing." Huston's voice was very low, and it didn't sound like he was fine.
Evelyn thought that she had guessed right, so she said with some embarrassment, "Is it scary?"
Huston remained silent; his gaze fixed on the treated wound. After the intense laser treatment, her back was
essentially like an entirely re-agitated wound under the surface.
Although the red bloodstains were gone, the bruising beneath the skin was still present, looking swollen and
alarming.
After a moment of contemplation, he got up and went to the bathroom. Soon, he returned with a clean towel,
which still carried a warm temperature. Carefully, he wiped the skin around her wound clean before applying the
ointment onto a cotton swab.
The pale-yellow ointment touched the skin and quickly emulsified, making it easy to spread with the cotton swab
without applying much pressure. Even though it was effortless, he remained extremely careful, afraid of causing
any discomfort or pain to her.
She felt that the previously eased pain of her wound was triggered by the touch of the ointment, causing a new
wave of itching.
As Huston applied the second layer, she clenched her teeth tightly, suppressing any sound from escaping her lips.
