Chapter 1217 As You Like

Alex took a deep breath and hesitated momentarily before mustering the courage to raise

his hand and ring the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and Jewel stood there, saying, "You're back—" As soon as she

saw the bandage on his neck, the smile that had been on her face moments earlier

instantly transformed into a panic. "What happened to your neck?"

However, he said nothing and simply pulled her into his arms. Seemingly, this was the

only way for him to feel even a modicum of relief from the nagging anxiety in his chest.

In the meantime, she was bewildered by his sudden embrace and asked, "What's wrong

with you?"

Then, Alex took a deep breath and mumbled, "It's nothing. Just accidentally got cut by a

knife. I nearly couldn't see you anymore."

He spoke casually, but Jewel didn't believe a word of it, and her face became tense,

prompting her to inquire, "Did you get into a fight with someone?"

He sighed helplessly upon hearing this. "Yeah. Some punk was asking for trouble, so I had

to use my fists. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Are there any other injuries?"

"No, there aren't."

Despite this, she did not believe him, so she squirmed out of his arms and conducted a

thorough radar scan of his body. Her gaze was drawn to his waist, and she reached out to

lift his shirt.

Instantaneously, Alex panicked and grabbed Jewel's hand, teasing, "What are you doing?

Trying to get to know me better? Still, we can't do that here. How about we get a room?"

He purposefully made suggestive remarks, knowing she would surely blush and playfully

glare at him as usual, saying, 'Who wants to get a room with you?'

However, she seemed different today. Not only was she not shy, but she also looked

directly into his eyes, her gaze filled with a hint of sharpness. "Let's go to a room and

check it out?"

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by her aura, so he surrendered and replied, "As you like."

Soon, she withdrew her gaze and refocused on his waist, inching her hands closer to the

hem of his clothes. Although she had already guessed what it was, when she lifted his

shirt and saw the large bandage on his waist, her heart instinctively tightened, and her

eyes turned red instantly. Her voice was barely audible as she asked, "Who did this?"

Alex could only pull Jewel to sit on the couch, feeling helpless. "Don't worry, I'm perfectly

fine. Look at me. Don't I look okay now?"

"What do you mean by 'okay'? Wait for me here. I'll ask Olivia to take a look at you," she

said as she was about to find Olivia.

After hearing this, he hurriedly held her hand. "No, it's not necessary. I just came back

from the hospital. The doctor said it was nothing serious and I needed a few days to rest.

It's late now, so Olivia must be asleep. Don't bother her."

Jewel still hesitated and inquired, "What did the doctor say? Did he say it's nothing?"

However, Alex reassured her, "Don't worry, it's nothing. The neck is merely scratched, and

the wound is superficial. Otherwise, do you think I could have come back? They didn't

even let me stay in the hospital. They said I could go home and rest for a few days."

When she heard this, she finally calmed down under the man's reassurance. "Anyway,

Olivia should still take a look at it tomorrow."

He agreed good-naturedly and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you, my girlfriend!"

She raised her hand and hit him upon hearing those words. "Now you're listening to your

girlfriend? Who was lying to his girlfriend earlier?"

Alex felt bad but couldn't argue with Jewel because he knew what she said was correct.

Then, he apologized, "I'm sorry. I was afraid you would worry."

Nonetheless, she maintained a cold expression and said ferociously, "Well, do you think

I'm not worried now? I'm even more worried. Who hurt you in the first place?"

He hastily grabbed her hand and pressed it against his forehead, feeling heartbroken.

What should I do? I don't want to lose her.

Ultimately, he simply recounted what had happened today. He mentioned capturing

Damian, but before he could interrogate him, Damian launched a surprise attack when he

was off guard. He also talked about the injury on his neck, which occurred when someone

attempted to silence Damian by killing him, but Alex chased them down and got into a

fight, injuring himself in the process.

Jewel furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "Could Damian harm you like this, given

your superior skills?"
