My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 723

"It's my tooth! It hurts." Nathaniel Cooper responded defiantly. He was unwilling to reveal his pain from the wound in front of Karen Joy Kyle.

"Mr. President, do your teeth grow on your shoulder? Or do you think that I am an only four-year-old kid and would believe your little lie? Do you think I will believe whatever you say?" She was agitated that he responded to her like she was a gullible child.

Besides, even if she was very young at that time, she was also very smart. No one could fool her easily.

Nathaniel stopped speaking.

He was amazed that Karen Joy was so wise and honest.

Karen Joy went back to being gentle with her movements. She picked up the bandage with a pair of pliers and sterilized it with alcohol. She continued to clean the wound before putting the new bandage on, "Mr. President, do you have someone you care about?"

"Yes." Of course, he had. That person was very near to him, but now he couldn't hold her in his arms. He couldn't tell her that she was the person he cared about the most.

She has cleaned his wound and applied some medication on it. "You're injured so badly and still insist on working, have you ever thought about how would that person feel?"

"I..." At present, he really didn't think so much about it. He only wanted to figure out the best way to rescue his citizens. He didn't think about what would happen if the little girl knew about this.

Perhaps it wasn't because he didn't think about her, but he thought that the little girl wouldn't know about the work here if she stayed in Coast City, safe and sound.

He was young and healthy. With such a small injury, he would be fine soon. When he returned to his little girl's side, everything would be fine.

"Mr. President, if you didn't think about it before, that's alright. But if you think about the person you care about, you will cherish your life more," she added.

After she applied some medications, she took a clean bandage to wrap his wound. Her face looked so young, but she spoke wisely.

He knew that she just turned 18 recently. However, with her words and wisdom, she sounded older than she looked.

"Then do you know that there are tens of thousands of people waiting for me to save them?" His nation was his responsibility. He chose this path, so he could not just ignore those people who were waiting for him to save them.

"Even if a lot of people are waiting for you to save them, you have to protect yourself and take care of yourself so that you can continue to protect the people you want to protect." After she said that, she felt a lump on her throat.

"Brother Lionel, you wouldn't know how afraid I am. I'm so worried that you'll get hurt, then I will never get to see you again." She thought in her heart.

"I missed you for 14 years and looked forward to growing up quickly every day because I want to be with you as soon as possible."

"Now that I have finally come to you, you haven't publicly and officially reconciled with me yet. If something happened to you, do you know how sad I will be?"

These words were what Karen Joy hid in her heart and wanted to say to her Brother Lionel out loud, but she knew that it was not the right time.

Nathaniel took a deep breath. "If... I mean if..."

"If what?" Karen Joy was anxious. Before he could finish, she continued, "Just tell me. I'm not as narrow-minded as you. I won't easily misunderstand others."

"If the boy you like is of my identity and status, and he was injured because of his work instead of following through your words, would you understand his decision and acknowledge his efforts?" After that, Nathaniel held his breath and waited for her answer.

How would she answer that?

In the past, he thought he knew her very well and knew almost everything about her. However, after getting along with her for a few days, he realized that his understanding of her was far from enough.
