Abraham pulled her into his arms in one swift motion. “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
Stella said weakly. 1
She cast him a slightly embarrassed glance, her eyes clearly holding a trace of grievance.
Abraham frowned. “Hmm?”
Stella bit her lip. That place hurts. It really hurts.”
Abraham froze for a second, then immediately understood exactly what she meant by that place.”
He suddenly remembered…. He had even asked Eddie to buy medicine earlier.
I’m sorry. The man’s hoarse voice carried a rare note of guilt.
Tears welled up in Stella’s eyes as she looked at him. “It really hurts…
Abraham scooped her up and strode toward the bed. Let me take a look.”
Stella panicked. “No, you…”
Take a look? What did he mean by that?
Abraham said solemnly, I need to assess how bad the injury is.”
He had already been careful, even restrained, but he had not expected to hurt her.
Now, guilt filled his gaze.
Just as he reached to open her robe, Stella grabbed his wrist. “You can’t look.”
Abraham looked up at her, amusement flickering in his eyes. With a soft smile, he comforted. “Still so shy?”
Her face, which had been pale a moment ago, flushed with a faint, awkward blush.
“Tll just put on the medicine myself, she muttered.
Abraham replied gently, “Be good.”
“I don’t want to. You can’t.” Stella tried to push Abraham away.
Outside, Eddie was passing by the lounge when he overheard the conversation between Abraham and Stella. His heart gave a jolt.
He involuntarily shuddered and quickly walked away.

Eddie walked over to the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass of red wine, and had just taken sip when Abraham emerged from the lounge
Eddie choked on the wine and coughed uncontrollably
Abraham frowned and shot him a displeased look. What’s with you? See a ghost or something
Eddie patted his chest. “You you finished that fast?”
Abraham was speechless.
Not far away, Abel, who was working on his laptop. heard the remark and silently carried his computer to another lounge. He had finally realized that when it came to people like Eddie. distance was safety. Get too close and you may end up covered in blood.
Eddie noticed Abel’s retreat.
Realizing he had spoken too freely, he tried to backtrack. I uh, didn’t mean that. Just now
He had only walked past the lounge and heard suspicious sounds, so he quickly fled. But after just one sip of wine
Abraham stepped forward. ‘Do you have any other medicine for that?”
His voice was steady. The injury’s more serious than I thought
Stella was delicate. When he had checked her earlier, she kept sobbing. He had not meant to hurt her this badly
Wher! Only now did Eddie realize what had really happened in that lounge.
So Abraham had been checking on her injuries? Wait, but
Eddie wanted to blurt out something sarcastic but met Abraham’s warning gaze and swallowed his words.
He turned and fetched two more tubes from the medical kit, handing them over. “Use them with the ones I gave you earlier.”
Abraham took the medicine and turned to leave.
But Eddie called out, “Wait. Listen, I get that you’re eager, afraid you’ll miss your chance
Before he could finish. Abraham turned back with an icy glare.
That shut Eddie up real fast.
He clicked his tongue, muttering “What I meant was. Girls are fragile. At least wait until she’s healed.”

Left alone, Eddie drained his wine in one gulp.

Clicking his tongue again, he muttered to himself, “And Derrick thinks he can steal her?”
The way Abraham doted on Stella, was that something anyone could compete with? If Derrick really thought he could win her over, he was dreaming.
He thought back to how furious Abraham had been when Derrick took Stella away. Abraham. looked ready to devour Sebastian alive.
If Eddie had not dragged him back and given Sebastian a proper threat, that guy would not have made it out in one piece.
In the lounge, Abraham gently pulled Stella out from under the covers,
Stella struggled weakly. “No I don’t want to…”
“I’m just putting on medicine for you. Why so shy?” Abraham comforted patiently.
But Stella still refused.
It was already embarrassing enough to be hurt there, and now he wanted to apply the medicine for her? She felt like she had no privacy left at all.
