Chapter 94 Are You Still In Pain (1/2)
”That is none of your business! Stay away from me!” Jean didn't intend on pushing him away, but she was frightened by his stern and aggressive demeanor.
Zed brushed away her hand and pulled up the leg of her trousers. His eyes widened when he found bruises as large as a baby's fist on some parts of her light-skinned thigh. From the size of the bruises he could see that she was hurt seriously.
Without saying anything, Zed immediately scooped her up and turned for the door.
”What are you doing?” Jean asked in surprise.
”Taking you to a hospital!”
”Hospital?” Jean sighed, ”The wounds are merely superficial. I don't need to go to a hospital. We just need to buy some iodine and then dab it on the wounds. They aren't as serious as you think.”
”I will feel more assured if a doctor were to say the same thing.” Then, he bent down to carry her on his back.
Jean wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Then she exerted all her strength to rock herself from side to side and yelled, ”I don't want to go to a hospital. Just put me down at once...... Zed, put me down!”
She struggled so hard that Zed felt too exhausted to carry her.
He put her down on the sofa and frowned, ”You have to lose weight!”
”Lose weight?” Jean shook her head and responded, ”Look at my nice figure. I don't need to lose any weight. You can't lift me because of your limited physical strength. You shouldn't spend all your time in your office without doing any exercise. Now, you even can't lift a woman.”
Jean grabbed the opportunity to take a dig at Zed. Such chances were so rare that she couldn't avoid the temptation.
”Jean, are you questioning my masculinity? You seriously want to imply that my strength is not what it should be? Do you want to test that theory? Come, I will carry you again.” He approached her slowly. A bewitching smile danced on his handsome face.
She silvered suddenly and waved her hands, ”Nope, I was just joking. I take that back. You are in very good shape!”
Then, she wiped the sweat off her forehead, took a deep breath, and tried to settle herself so that the tinge of red spreading from her neck to her cheeks would subside.
”Are you still in pain?” He asked in a gentle voice.
Jean was baffled. As she looked up, she found that Zed genuinely looked like he was concerned about her. 'Does he care about me?'
She looked down, thought for a while, and even felt a little moved.
”Yes, but only a little.”
