The man put Simona on his lap, and she grasped his clothes with both hands as if she was afraid that he would drop her by the road. The mud all over her body stained his expensive suit.

She cast her eyes up, trying to see the man's face.

But dizziness got the better of her, and she lost consciousness. Her eyes also closed slowly...

About half an hour later, the car pulled off in front of a three-story luxurious villa.

The car door opened before the man carried Simona to get off, turn around, and instructed, "Send for the family doctor, and find out what happened in Sam's house tonight."

"Sam's house?"

The subordinate's gaze landed on the girl in the man's arms, and then he took a tumble, "Yes, sir!"

In the steamy bathroom, the man gingerly put the girl down in the water and slowly washed off the mud all over her body...

When he gazed at the distinct bruises on her fair skin, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

After cleaning her up, he also took a shower.

After Simona was put on the bed, she gradually regained her consciousness. Her lips moved, but the voice wouldn't come out.

The man already sat by the bed. Leaning over, he felt her forehead with his palm, "You're having a high fever. Hold on for a moment, the doctor will be here in a minute."

With her clear eyes, Simona observed the stern face of the man inch by inch.

So... so handsome!

Enduring the sharp pain from her throat, she spoke in a husky voice, "Thank... thank you for helping... helping me."

She moved, realized that her clothes had been changed, and then looked blankly at him.

A faint blush crept on her pale face.

"My clothes..."

Before Simona could finish, there came a knock on the door.

Following that, the family doctor came in and bowed respectfully to the man.

The female doctor did a diagnose for Simona and then spoke, "40 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing injection is necessary."

Injection!

This word sent a shiver through Simona, and her eyes were filled with horror!

The terrible scenes of what her second aunt did to her in her childhood flashed back. In that dark small room, her arms were gripped tightly...

She knew that her second aunt and other Sam Family members all wanted her dead!

Detecting Simona's reluctance, the man immediately sat back to the bed, fished her out of the quilt, and naturally put her on his lap.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear to coax, "Fear not, I'll ask the doctor to be gentle."

Simona raised her head and pushed the man. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes were filled with resistance, "No, no... I won't."

The man clasped the back of Simona's head and pressed her delicate face to his chest, "Okay, you won't see it now."

He eyed the doctor as a signal for her to begin.

"Ah, ah..."

After the injection, Simona fainted again.

... There was a hint of awkwardness on the face of the female doctor.

She had never seen anyone like this before.

She smiled, "The wounds on her body are just bruises. The ointment will do the healing."

"Leave the medicine here, you can go now."

In the quiet bedroom, only the even breathing sound could be heard. Simona felt that she slept for a long time...

When she opened her eyes, that dashing face came into view again.

Unexpectedly, she was sitting on his lap, and her petite body was fully wrapped by his arms.

No wonder she felt so warm...

Her head was still a little heavy, and she couldn't tell if this was a dream or reality.
