Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0296

I reflexively raised my hand to cover my neck, but it was already too late.

Seemingly having anticipated my move, Nicholas grabbed my wrist midair. His grip on my wrist tightened, causing my fingers to turn pale. He was using a lot of force.

Petrified, I intended to avoid him and jerked my head aside. I bit my lower lip, unsure of how my neck looked now. But from Nicholas's expression, it probably didn't look good.

"Er, how long did I sleep?" I asked, only then realizing how irrelevant my question was.

"What?" My sudden question was so irrelevant that even Nicholas was caught off guard. When he finally snapped back to his senses, he gritted out, "Ariana, this is how you end up not needing me?"

I just wanted to determine how long it had been since I last changed my dressing. I wondered if my wound would be infected if it wasn't handled properly.

Once again, I tried to reach for my neck, but both of my hands were firmly restrained by him. I couldn't move at all,

"You don't need to be this angry." He still looked incensed, so I added, "It's just a skin injury."

"How did this happen?" he asked tersely, his gaze turning cold.

Nicholas acted as if he were interrogating a criminal, as though he would start coercing me if I refused to answer him. But how could I tell him?
