Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Chapter 17

Xyla Quest’s heart clenched. Her first thought was that Stanley’s wound had reopened.

She immediately turned on the lights in the car and looked at the man’s body. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that a large part of his black shirt was damp.

“Your wound has reopened.” Xyla seemed nervous.

Although she could not see the wound, she could imagine how bad it must have hurt.

However, Stanley merely glanced down at his shirt calmly. “It’s fine.”

From the look on his face, it felt as if he was not even injured.

“Is this still fine?”

“It’s a minor injury. I won’t die from it.” He remained nonchalant as he looked forward and continued to turn the steering wheel.

“If you don’t tend to a minor injury, your wound may become infected, and you might die,” Xyla added.

Since this only happened because of her, Xyla could not ignore it.

“Let’s go back to the hospital,” she said.

“I’ll send you home first.”

“I hate the hospital. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t like going there,” Stanley added before continuing to look forward. He did not seem inclined to do as she told him to.

Xyla immediately moved closer and unbuttoned his shirt.

In that instant, she was horrified. Two spots on his right chest and one spot near his abdomen, bandaged, were now stained with blood. His blood was everywhere, including on his muscular chest and his sexy abs.

Xyla could not help but inhale sharply.

“I’m driving. Do you have a death wish?” The man teased.

“Go back to the hospital,” Xyla insisted. She sounded somewhat unhappy.

“Be a good girl, step messing around…” The man instantly sounded much kinder.

After that, he buttoned his shirt up with a single hand before he continued driving. He could tend to minor wounds like these on his own.
