Meryl hurried down to the living room without even putting on her shoes, her bare feet hitting the cool floor as she searched for the first aid kit, anxious about Chandler's injury.

She took out some iodine and cotton swabs, pulling Chandler down onto the sofa with a gentle insistence.

"Honestly, Chandler, you get into a fight and end up hurting yourself? That's quite the way to lose the battle!"

Chandler replied matter-of-factly, a hint of affection in his tone, "You're barefoot. It's only right I carry you."

Meryl buried her face in his chest, silencing her protests as he effortlessly lifted her, cradling her like a treasure as he made his way upstairs. Chapter 662 Emilia's Visit

The intimacy was palpable, and she felt more bashful than ever-100 shy to wriggle free even if she wanted to.

Once they reached the top, Chandler shut the door behind them, pressing her against it as he captured her lips in a fervent kiss.

Meryl giggled softly between kisses, her words tumbling out with a mix of laughter and a hint of shyness. "Chandler, wait... don't kiss me like that here."

Initially lying in bed, she had gotten up, drawn to the commotion outside, only to stumble upon Chandler and Meryl
