The Silent Wife

Chapter 217

“It’s all right.” Justin pushed the processed documents on his desk to the side. “Hand these out to the departments.”

It took a long time before Frankie came to his senses. “Yes, President Burton.” Since he was still worried, he asked while taking the documents, “Is your eye really all right, sir?”

Justin gave him a frosty look.

Frankie shuddered instantly. “I’ll deliver the documents now.”

“Wait a minute,” Justin called out to him. “Find another school for Charlotte.” He was worried. Since that brat named Victor held a grudge against him, it was not a good thing for Charlotte to be in his class.

Soon after Frankie left, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” said Justin.

“Hey, Justin.”

Justin looked up when he heard Amber’s voice.

As she hurriedly stepped toward him, Amber exclaimed, “Oh, gosh! What’s the matter with your eye, Justin?”

“I knocked into something by accident.” Justin frowned as he didn’t want to elaborate much. “What brings you here?”

“I have a lecture on medicine this afternoon, so I came to get something and bring you breakfast while I’m at it.” Amber waved the breakfast bag she was holding. “It seems pretty bad. Let me look at it.” She put down the breakfast bag before immediately searching the office for the first-aid kit.

Justin hadn’t had time to take any ointment when he left Julian’s place hastily last night. Since the bruise around his eye was left untreated, it had gotten so bad at the moment that he couldn’t even hold this morning’s meeting.

Amber had been a doctor before, so her skills were more than sufficient to treat such a minor bruise. “It may hurt a little, so please bear with it, Justin.” She dipped the cotton swab in the ointment and applied it around Justin’s eyes. Then, she patiently blew on the bruise to relieve the pain.

After all, she was at his bedside when he regained consciousness after the car accident back then, and she had always been by his side over the last five years.
