Chapter 74 Help Me Bathe
Nathaniel opened the car door and ordered, “Get in.”
“I need to get back to work,” Christina pointed out. She turned to leave, but Nathaniel wouldn’t let go and even opened the car door wider.
Instinctively, Christina resisted and angrily pushed the car door.
Following a thud. Nathaniel let out a muffled groan.
“Why didn’t you pull your hand back?”
Christina hurriedly pulled the door open with a worried frown and rushed to check Nathaniel’s hand. His fingertips and palms were red and swollen.
“Mr. Hadley, are you okay? We should go to the hospital in case there are fractures,” Sebastian interjected with concern.
“All right. Let’s go now!”
They soon got to the hospital, where Nathaniel took an X-ray. Thankfully, there were no fractures, but his palm was quite swollen. There was also a bloody mark on the back of his hand that required daily. disinfection.
“Don’t touch water, and make sure to take the medicine three times a day. Remember to wrap the gauze properly. You’ll be fine in a week or so.” After giving these instructions, the doctor told them to settle the fees.
In no time, Sebastian brought them the medicine and carefully explained the dosage to Christina.
“Mr. Hadley cannot touch water for the next few days. It’s inconvenient for him to stay in the hotel alone. Mrs. Hadley, would you mind if he stays at your place in the meantime?”
Christina looked up in surprise. “Stay at my place?”
Sebastian nodded confidently. “Mr. Hadley’s hand is injured, so he needs someone to take care of him. I won’t be able to attend to him all the time since I also have to work.”
Christina hesitated for a moment. Realizing she was the one who caused Nathaniel’s injury, she had no choice but to agree.
It was dusk when the two of them returned to the condominium.
Right after entering the house, Christina walked into the kitchen. “Are you hungry? I’ll make you some
oatmeal.”
