Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 200

Ben’s injury had been kept a secret from Old Mr. Landor.

After having dinner with him, Susan excused herself, saying she was tired and took Ben back to their room early.

“Lie down quickly,” Susan urged. “The doctor said you shouldn’t sit for too long right now.”

Susan helped Ben to the bed, supporting him gently.

“I will secretly call for a professional to come and take a look at your wound,” she whispered.

The Landor family always had a few professional medical staff on standby. Susan thought of calling one to assist.

But Ben was holding onto Susan’s hand, not letting go.

“What’s wrong?” Susan asked, puzzled by his reaction.

“I want you to treat my wound,” Ben said, his eyes full of hope, like a little puppy waiting for a treat.

Susan felt a little overwhelmed. She struggled, “But a professional will definitely do it better than me.”

“I’m afraid they might talk too much and let Grandpa find out, which wouldn’t be good,” Ben continued with those puppy–dog eyes. “Susan, please, you do it.”

Susan panicked slightly, “I… I’m afraid I might hurt you.”

She had been watching intently these past few days as the nurse tended the wound over and over.

She had learned the procedure by sight, if not by hand.

Susan was afraid to cause Ben any pain.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ben was the picture of calm. “I’m not afraid of the pain.”

Regardless, he kept holding onto her hand.

Susan could only answer with trepidation, “Then I’ll… try?”

“Go ahead and try with confidence,” Ben said without hesitation.

Susan licked her lips nervously, then instructed, “First, you need to turn over.”

Ben did as she said.

As Susan lifted his shirt and saw the layers of gauze around his back, she felt a pang of heartache.

How much pain he must have been in at the time.

Yet, he had still been concerned enough to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid.

Susan’s hand trembled as it touched the bandage.

Feeling Susan’s unease, Ben reassured her, “Susan, it’s okay, it really isn’t that painful.”

Susan didn’t respond.

Taking a deep breath, Susan forced herself to calm down.

Then, with the utmost care, she gently untied the bandages layer by layer.
