The servant quickly nodded and went to make the call.

As Lukas continued to apply the disinfectant to Reese's wound, she couldn't help but flinch and close her eyes in pain.

Observing the graceful curve of her chin, Lukas couldn't help but notice the beauty of it. However, he quickly reminded himself that her vulnerability was caused by Alexa's attack.

Lukas's throat moved slightly as he controlled his emotions. He lessened the pressure of his fingers while disinfecting her wound.

Reese couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Strakovski, is the disinfection done?"

Lukas, who had been cold and distant, seemed to be somewhat surprised by her question. His face was a little worried, but his voice carried a tinge of sarcasm as he replied, "Weren't you quite formidable when facing me before? And didn't you get into a fight with Gwendolyn King at the Butterfly Pavilion? How come you can't handle a woman now? Where's that spirit you had when you beat her?"

Reese's face tensed, but she couldn't help but open her eyes slightly to glance at Lukas. "I have a sprain, remember?"

Lukas snorted. "Yeah, you changed from Joan of Arc to a damsel in distress."

It was the first time that Reese heard Lukas make a joke out of her predicament.

She couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "I'm not that fragile; I just wasn't prepared," she said with a faint smile.

Lukas raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then remember, you should always be on guard."

With a teasing smile, Reese responded, "All right, I'll remember."

Lukas continued disinfecting her wound meticulously and ignored Alexa as if she were a filthy object covered in germs. "What happened here?" He asked the servant as he treats Reese's wounds.

The servant had a good memory. He described the conversation between Reese and Alexa, how Reese ignored Alexa's threats, and the situation where he rushed over to catch Alexa like a mad dog.
