Chapter 88:
When he stepped in front of her to protect her, it was too late for her to pull her leg back.
And now, the cut on the back of his hand was already causing blood to flow.
“I’m fine,” Rupert answered, his face dark with displeasure. He pressed the wound with his left hand to stop the blood flow, but it was clear he was still feeling the pain from Annabel’s kick.
“Rupert, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Nina apologized. She was just as shocked as the two of them.
How could she have stabbed Rupert of all people?
She had only wanted to stab Annabel.
Why did Rupert risk his life to protect Annabel?
As far as she was concerned, it was all because of that bitch Annabel. If it weren’t for her, Rupert would not have been hurt.
“Annabel, you bitch! You let Rupert get hurt p>
As Nina kept railing and cursing, a security guard who had heard the noise arrived at the scene. “Mr. Benton, are you okay?” he asked in concern.
“She stabbed him. Hold her,” Annabel said, pointing at Nina.
“I didn’t!” Nina screamed and ran away, but the security guard went after her.
Annabel didn’t bother paying any more attention to Nina and the guard. She turned to Rupert to check his wound. “It was a knife cut. You need to disinfect it and stop the bleeding as soon as possible,” she pointed out.
“There is a medical kit in the trunk of my car,” Rupert said, pointing at his vehicle, which was nearby.
“Let me help you to the car,” Annabel offered.
Looking at his legs, she couldn’t help but feel guilty. Rupert wouldn’t have been hurt if he hadn’t tried to save her. And she hadn’t needed his help.
After helping him sit in the car, Annabel went to the trunk to get the kit. She took out alcohol and cotton swabs from the box and carefully cleaned Rupert’s wound.

He felt a cool sensation from her touch. Staring at the woman in front of him, Rupert didn’t seem to feel any more pain.
And she was so skilled at bandaging. Where had she learned this? Did she also have medical knowledge?
How many more surprises did Annabel have in store for him?
After cleaning it, she gently blew on the wound with her mouth. “It may hurt. Please bear it,” she warned.
Then she applied some iodine to it. Rupert instantly felt the biting sensation, but he didn’t flinch.
He hardly noticed the sting because his entire focus was on Annabel. He felt as if the softest part of his heart was being caressed by a feather. An indescribable emotion was growing in his heart.
And he couldn’t help reaching out his hand to take hers.
But Annabel thought he was being impatient, so she held his hand down and said, “Don’t move. It’ll be fine soon p>
Feeling the warmth of her palm, Rupert softened more than ever, and he said in a low voice, “Thank you, Anna p>
