Chapter 41
Unexpectedly, it seemed like the car was heading straight for her, driving right next to her and then abruptly stopping with a “screech” sound!
Instinctively jumping to the side, she twisted her foot due to her unsteady landing. “Oh!”
She instantly fell to the ground, a piercing pain radiating from her ankle.
She thought, ‘How unlucky!’
The car came to a halt, the door opened, and someone stepped out. She felt nervous, angry, and scared. Looking up at the person, she couldn’t help but scold, “Do you even know how to drive?!”
“What are you hiding from?”
Almost simultaneously speaking, Seraphina was momentarily stunned, and indeed, upon a closer look, it was Dashiell. She pouted, feeling like crying and laughing at the same time.
“H-How is it you?!”
As he did not notify her beforehand, he made her overthink, unnecessarily scaring herself.
“Who else could it be?” Squatting down in front of her, Dashiell used the car’s light to carefully examine her foot. “Are you injured?”
“It’s okay. I just twisted it a bit!” With his help, Seraphina managed to stand up and moved her b*dy into the car. She felt instantly relieved.

The car was driven by Brayan. Dashiell also got in, and then closed the car door. “Drive.”

The car slowly started, and he immediately asked, “Which foot did you twist?”
Seraphina was speechless.
She thought, ‘There is another person in the car; he isn’t planning to examine my foot here, right?’
“It’s okay. We can check it when we get back,” she subconsciously touched her ankle with her hand and said softly.
Even this small gesture didn’t escape his notice.
Dashiell quickly pressed a button, raising the partition between the front and back seats. Then, without hesitation, he lifted her injured foot and placed it on his lap.

Chapter 41
When the car lights brightened a bit, the red and slightly swollen ankle became visible, causing him to frown. “Why do you always get injured so easily?”
“I don’t,” Seraphina whispered.
She thought, ‘He is talking about me as if I’m a porcelain doll, when in fact, it’s just a twisted ankle. Speaking of which, it’s also because of him… Well, there is a problem with his driver’s driving.’
“There’s no injury to the bone or tendon. When we get back, let’s apply some ointment to it. Try not to move around too much these days.” After kneading her foot a bit, he quickly made the diagnosis.
Seraphina was quite surprised. “You can also give medical advice?”
“For common sprains and twists, it’s not that complicated.” Dashiell looked up at her, then his forehead furrowed even tighter.
With a twitch of his nostrils, he hesitated a bit. “You…
He didn’t finish the sentence, but the suspicion in his eyes was evident.
“Me?” Seraphina was momentarily puzzled. She lowered her head to check herself, then instantly realized. “Oh, you mean this smell on my b*dy?”
Dashiell remained silent.
“I was experimenting, and I got it in the lab.” She adjusted her clothes a bit, but there was no way to get rid of this kind of smell easily. Even if she washed her hands repeatedly, there would still be some on her b*dy.
She had gotten used to the smell over time, but for others, it was probably an unbearable smell.
No wonder when she got in the car just now, Brayan glanced at her. That look was obviously hesitant and filled with suppressed curiosity.
“The lab?” A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Dashiell said, “If I remember correctly, you are a perfumer, not a maker of bad smells, right?”
Looking at his expression, Seraphina almost burst into laughter. His eyes clearly said, “Aren’t you kidding me?”
