Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 120 Let’s Get Divorced, Nicholas (1)

Nancy promptly stopped sobbing and looked up while she frantically wiped her tears away when she heard the door slide open.

However, she forgot about the blood on her hands that came from the bloody blade. Thus, her face was now smeared with blood.

The streaks of blood stood out on her face. She looked extremely frightening from afar.

Nicholas was horrified when he saw blood on Nancy’s face. He hastily rushed over and held her face between his hands as he frantically asked, “What happened, Nancy? Why is there so much blood on your face?”

“I’m fine. Nancy coldly shoved him away.

“Look at all the blood you’ve lost. How can you say you’re fine?”

“It’s not my blood.”

Still, Nicholas insisted on bending over and carrying Nancy over to the bed. Then, he carefully wiped the streaks of blood from her face with a warm towel that was soaked with hot water.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he was certain all of the blood was gone and she wasn’t

When he looked down, he realized her feet were bleeding as tiny drops of blood dripped on the floor.

He was so shocked that he swiftly lifted her feet to discover a few shards of glass embedded in the bottom of her feet. His heart clenched in pain at the sight. His brows were deeply furrowed as he carefully looked at her injuries. “This is serious.”

Then, he continued to raise her feet up with gentle hands.

Drops of blood were still dripping from her feet.

“I don’t need you to do this. Her eyes remained as frosty as ever. There was not an ounce of warmth to be found in them.

“Stay still. Don’t move.”

He then turned to grab the first-aid kit.

Subsequently, he grabbed her feet with one hand while he picked out the glass shards from her feet with the tweezers in his other hand after wearing a pair of sterile gloves.

The larger shards were easier to extract. He only needed to grab them with the tweezers. The tiny pieces that were long and thin were the worst. They were hard to find and were deeply embedded
