Chapter 103
“You look like a gentle, weak little girl, but why are you so strong?” said Peter, rubbing his back.
“You were… too close to me just now. I suddenly lost control… of my strength… Do you want me to take you to the hospital for a checkup?” Jessica quickly apologized.
“It’s too much for me to go to the hospital with this little injury. I’ll apply some medicine to it myself when I get back. It’s probably just a scratch. Of course, Peter did not care much about it.
Then I’ll go back and apply the medicine for you,” Jessica said almost subconsciously.
“You’ll do it for me?” Peter raised his eyebrows when he heard her.
“Yes!” Jessica did not notice anything wrong at this time.
After all, in her mind, if she hurt someone, she had to apply medicine to him.
“It is what you said. Don’t go back on your words when the time comes.” The corners of Peter’s mouth curled up slightly. Then, he went around to the driver’s seat.
He stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
Peter brought Jessica back to his apartment in less than half an hour.
“Aren’t we going back to the Bailey family?” Jessica asked in confusion.
“This is where I usually live because there are too many rules in the old residence,” said Peter, bringing Jessica into his apartment.
Then, he sat on the sofa and looked up at Jessica. “The first aid kit is in the cabinet over there,” said Peter.
“Oh, okay.” Jessica quickly went forward to get the first aid kit.
However, when she found the first aid kit and turned around, she suddenly exclaimed and turned around immediately again.
“You… what are you doing?”
It was because Peter took off the top half of his clothes.
His muscular chest was revealed.
—–
“Didn’t you want to apply some medicine to me? How can you do that if I don’t take off my clothes?” Peter replied calmly.
Jessica could not help but tighten her grip on the first aid kit.
At that time, she did not expect he had to take off his clothes to put on the medicine..
“Do you regret it? Then give me the first aid kit, and I’ll do it myself.” Peter looked at Jessica’s reddened ears and could not help but smile.
Jessica was about to hand over the first aid kit to Peter when he said to himself again.
“But my injuries are all on my back. I can’t reach them with my hands.”
Jessica couldn’t help but bite her lower lip when she heard him.
She caused Peter’s injuries and promised to apply the medicine to him.
Chapter 103
It would be disingenuous of her to go back on her words now.
Jessica gritted her teeth. In the end, she turned around and walked toward Peter.
However, she just kept her head down and tried not to look at Peter.
“How can you apply the medicine to me if you don’t look at me?” said Peter, amused by her gesture.
“You… turn around.” Jessica was using all her willpower to control her emotions.
However, her face was still so red that it was about to bleed.
Peter knew the little girl would probably be scared away if he continued to tease her like that.
Then, he turned around without saying anything.
Only then did Jessica raise her head.
Her gaze landed on Peter’s back.
Although Peter was usually laid–back, his body muscles were still strong.
They looked powerful.
Jessica could not help but blush again.
And there was a dark red bruise on his waist.
Jessica’s expression immediately changed. Then, she hurriedly opened the first aid kit.
She took out some ointment for external injuries.
She carefully cleaned his wound before applying the ointment to it.
Peter had his back to Jessica, and he couldn’t see the look on her face.
However, he could clearly feel the touch of her fingers on his waist.
Probably for fear of hurting him, the little girl cleaned his wound with her particular gentle hands.
Her gentle movements made Peter feel limp and numb..
The itch went straight to the bottom of his heart along the lines of his skin.
It made one’s heart race.
“It’s done. It doesn’t look like a serious injury, but you still have to be careful. You can put a waterproof patch on it to keep it from getting wet when you take a shower.”
“So soon?” Before Peter could react, Jessica had already finished dealing with it.
“The wound isn’t big, and there’s no blood, so it didn’t take long.” Jessica had already started sorting out the first aid kit.
Peter turned around, and Jessica happened to look up and meet his muscular chest.
Jessica panicked and quickly lowered her head. However, her gaze landed on Peter’s well–defined eight–pack abs.
Hmm…
Was his figure actually so great?
Chapter 103
But soon, Jessica realized that her behavior was a little too impolite.
She jumped to her feet.
She almost awkwardly went to the opposite cabinet and put the first aid kit back where it was.
“Um… I’ve treated your injuries. I’ll… go back now,” said Jessica. For some reason, Jessica suddenly felt a little hot.
However, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window just as she finished her words.
Immediately after, rumbling thunder sounded.
Suddenly, it rained cats and dogs.
“Why is it raining all of a sudden?” Jessica asked in surprise.
“It’s probably hard to drive in such heavy rain. Why don’t you stay here for tonight?” said Peter. He felt that the rain came just at the right time.
“How can I do that?” Jessica refused subconsciously.
It was always inconvenient for a man and a woman to stay alone.
“Why not? You’re Marina’s friend, which makes you my sister. I promised her I’d take good care of you,” said Peter.
“Besides, it’s easy to have an accident driving on the road in such heavy rain, not to mention that I’m injured. You can’t possibly let me send you back in the heavy rain with my injuries, can you?” said Peter deliberately, knowing that the little girl was soft–hearted.
As expected, Jessica’s expression instantly softened.
“But…” Jessica’s hands fidgeted uneasily.
“Don’t worry. I have a guest room here. Someone comes and cleans it every once in a while. It’s clean. I’ll tell Marina later and send you back tomorrow. Peter said.
“Well… Okay then. Jessica nodded in agreement in the end.
After all, it was impossible to force someone to drive her home in such heavy rain.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to the guest room. Seeing that Jessica agreed, Peter quickly stood up.
However, he realized that Jessica was not following him at all after taking a few steps.
He turned around and looked at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
“You… should hurry up and put on your clothes,” Jessica reminded him with an awkward expression.
