Chapter 243 A Fatal Blow

Oscar rushed into the bathroom and knelt on the floor to help Amelia up. “How did you fall? Are you hurt?” he asked gently.

It took Amelia a few ragged breaths before she recovered from the severe pain. It was only a fall, but she felt as if her bones were about to shatter. It was that painful.

However, when she saw the concerned look on Oscar’s face, she forced a smile and replied reassuringly, “I’m fine. It was an accident.”

Oscar’s expression was grave as he picked her up in his arms wordlessly, then headed out of the bathroom and toward the bed.

Although he was furious, he still placed her carefully onto the bed on her front. Then, he lifted her shirt and immediately saw a large bruise on the back of her waist. His face darkened, making him look even more terrifying.

Amelia wanted to turn over, but Oscar stopped her and took off her clothes immediately. Only after making sure that she did not have any other injuries apart from that bruise did he relax the tense expression on his face.

Amelia was somewhat stunned. Anyone would feel embarrassed at being stripped of their clothes like that.

“Oscar, I’m fine. Don’t do that. I just fell by accident. Really, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all,” Amelia said, forcing herself to speak lightly.

Oscar was feeling angry and distressed. However, he restrained his emotions as he asked, “How did you fall?”

Amelia bit her lip. She did not dare to tell him that she fell because her vision had suddenly turned pitch black, and the whole room had felt as if it were spinning around her.

If she did, he would drag her to the hospital immediately.

Amelia was anxious and uneasy. Her condition was worsening, and it seemed .like she would lose her vision very soon.

Acting as if it was no big deal, she replied dismissively, “I was preoccupied with my thoughts and did not notice the puddle of water on the floor. That’s why I slipped and fell. I’m fine, so stop worrying.”

Oscar got up, went to get some ointment, and gently applied it on Amelia’s bruise. He still had a grave expression on his face. When he was done, he asked, “Did you hurt yourself anywhere else?”

Amelia shook her head, then turned over and sat up. Cradling Oscar’s face in her hands, she said, “I’m fine. Come on and give me a smile. Don’t look so grave, or you’ll scare me.”

In the end, he gave in for her tenderness almost melted his heart.
