Chapter 1048 "I'll take you to get this sorted." Romeo cradled her in his arms as he made his way to another penthouse suite.

The manager on duty this floor caught sight of them, his eyes bulging in surprise. Mr. McMillian was rumored to be a private man, so it was quite a shock to see him so affectionate with a young girl.

Could the whispers be true? Was Mr. McMillian secretly dating someone? Was this girl the one he was rumored to be dating? She didn't look more than seventeen or eighteen, probably still in high school.

Mr. McMillian certainly didn't seem to mind.

Not having tto contemplate the situation further, the manager hastily walked over to them, pulling out his master key card to unlock another suite.

“Fetch the first-aid kit,” Romeo instructed, his voice calm.

“Yes, sir" Only then did the manager notice the faint scratches on the girl's shin. Upon closer inspection, they seerned to be just a few minor cuts, probably from small stones or the like.

The manager thought, "Oh, how vulnerable these young girls were nowadays.

A tiny scratch and she needed Mr. McMillian to carry her. She couldn't even walk on her own. Such a spoiled girl." As Romeo entered the room, he noticed the manager's lingering gaze and turned back to ask coldly, "Still staring?" "I was just checking Miss Bella's injuries to see if we need more medical supplies. I'll go get them right away.” The manager, scared out of his wits, hurriedly left.

Romeo placed Arabella gently on the couch, noticing the scratches on her shin and arm.

This girl was always getting hurt. He would have to look into getting ssort of on-the-go first aid kit.

"Don't worry, they're just minor scratches, Bella assured him with one glance.

“It's nothing serious" “You always say it's nothing.” Romeo looked at her injuries, his mind flashing back to when she'd plunged into the lake to save someone. Despite his frantic efforts to reach her, she'd swum faster than him. Thankfully.

He remembered the fear that gripped him as he chased after her, terrified that at any moment she might disappear from his sight.

"Next time, try not to get hurt, okay?" Although Romeo knew that Arabella always put herself in harm's way without a second thought, he still wanted to hear her promise to be more careful. Every scratch avoided was a victory.

Arabella smiled at him. “Are you worried?" "Yes, every t| see you hurt, | wish the injuries were oninstead" Romeo crouched down, cradling her injured foot. "Look at your soft delicate skin. These cuts will take days to heal." “This kind of pain is nothing to me. It's like a tickle. If it worries you, I'll be more careful next time." "Really?" "Yes.

Moved and overjoyed, Romeo leaned in, gently pressing his lips against hers.

"Mr. McMillian, I've got the first-aid kit!" The manager burst in like a whirlwind, stopping short when he saw Romeo and Arabella kissing. He regretted his hasty entrance, realizing he'd interrupted a tender moment.

Romeo glared at him mildly. "You're quite quick." "l, Lwas just concerned about Miss Bella's injuries.” The manager quickly set down the first-aid kit. "I'll leave you alone now. Callif you need anything." Watching the manager retreat hastily, Arabella couldn't help but laugh. "You scared him off again" “He has no sense of timing.” Romeo opened the first-aid kit and carefully placed Bella's injured foot on his lap. He attentively cleaned and bandaged her wounds.

Watching him diligently tend to her injuries, Bella teased, "You're getting quite good at this." “That's because you keep getting hurt." Romeo was gentle and careful with his ministrations. He looked up at her, his handsface filled with concern. "Does it hurt?"
