Chapter 96 

Rebecca felt unjust. Upon seeing Ashton leaving, she insisted she didn’t need Joseph’s help carrying her up. While limping, she stared at me and said, “Scarlett, you did it on purpose.”

I uttered, “I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional.” The reason I’d pulled her earlier was that I was panicking

After Joseph had left with Rebecca, Ashton carne out of the office with a first aid kit in his hand. He came and crouched down next to me.

Staring at me, he said, “Give me your hand.”

I pursed my lips and extended my hand towards him. All I could feel was a burning sensation due to the cuts and grazes. I wasn’t aware when it had started bleeding.

I raised my eyebrows. “Just bandage it and get it over with.” It would hurt more if he started being meticulous about it.

I shook my head, hoping that he wouldn’t touch it. Furthermore, it wasn’t obvious as I was wearing a skirt.
