Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1103

As she pressed her face against his chest, she could hear his strong heartbeat.

Only then did Vera realize something was wrong.

She should have resisted his embrace, not because she disliked him, but because she didn't want his care at a time like this. However, after being held in his arms, Vera fell for him all over again.

Because his embrace... was very warm.

It was the same feeling she had when she dreamed about him for so many nights. Now, it had become a reality.

Unfortunately, it was as much a fantasy as it was reality.

For Vera, these moments were like bubbles that could burst at the slightest touch.

Even though she knew this to be the case, she was still like a moth flying into a flame, bravely moving forward regardless of its safety.

After seeing the doctor, aside from the wound on Vera's face, she had bruises on her leg too. After her pant leg was lifted, a huge bruise could be seen on her knee extending to her calf. The doctor pressed on it lightly, and Vera started sweating in pain and gasped.

Seeing her reaction, the doctor suggested, "If possible, it would be best to take an X-ray and see if there are any cracks in your bone."

An X-ray? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?

"It's fine. I..."

"Where do we go for her to get an X-ray?"

Quill interrupted her. After getting directions from the doctor, he lifted her up and brought her over to get her X-ray taken.

The X- ray results came out very quickly. After taking a look at it, the doctor explained it to Vera.

"According to the X-ray, your bones are fine, but you shouldn't be doing a lot of walking for the time being. Have a few days of rest. I will give you some medicine for the swelling on your face and another one for your leg."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the medicine was prescribed, Vera sat on the bench alone and waited while Quill went to get the medicine. She sat there in a daze, quietly thinking about everything that happened that day.

After thinking for a while, her brain became a mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all.

Just thinking about the scene in the nightclub was enough to make her tremble with fear. Vera shook her head, reached out to hold her cheek, and wanted to lean her face against her hand. However, she accidentally touched the swollen part of her face, which made her gasp in pain.

Just then, Quill came back with her medicine and sat down beside her.

He didn't say anything; he merely opened up the bag of medicine in front of her and took out a bottle of ointment. He opened it, put some of the ointment on his finger, and gestured it towards her face.

Vera reeled her head back and looked at him uncertainly.

"Apply some ointment," Quill explained.

Quill stretched his hand domineeringly to her face. Although his action looked domineering, his touch was gentle when his hand landed on her face. The warmth from his fingers was mixed with the green cool cream, gently gliding over her skin.

She allowed Quill to apply the medicine for her, but she didn't dare to look into his eyes at all.

When he was done, he capped the ointment and said, "Apply it twice a day, morning and night. If it's still painful, apply it one more time. Be gentle when you wash your face, so you don't aggravate the wound."

Vera nodded.

"Your leg." Quill took out another bottle of ointment and squatted down in front of her, ready to take her shoe off.

"There's no need." Vera quickly stopped him. "I can do it myself."

It was not like her hands were useless. She could apply the ointment onto her knee herself.

Although Quill usually looked calm and unbothered, he had always been persistent with his actions, like applying ointment for her.

Despite Vera's refusals, he still rolled up her pant leg. After looking at the large bruise on her fair, slender legs, a disheartened look appeared on his face all of a sudden.

However, it disappeared quickly. He took the ointment and applied it on her skin. Probably because of the pain, Vera's body trembled slightly, and her hand subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Quill looked up and glanced at her.
