True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 416

Alice was taken aback. She stared at Jensen and pursed her lips. She seemed a little reserved.

However, Alice snapped back to her senses quickly and put on her bathrobe.

Jensen walked over silently and carried her outside.

Jensen put her on the bed. He took a towel to dry her hair. A moment later, Alice noticed that he had moved the first aid kit into the room earlier.

Both of them were quiet.

Jensen began to help her clean her wounds.

Jensen brushed aside her hair with his slender fingers before using a cotton swab to dab some alcohol on the wounds gently.

Alice hissed out of pain.

Alice smiled bitterly in her heart. She had not shown any signs of pain when she was hit; at least she did not seem weak. Instead, she inhaled sharply when the alcohol came in contact with her face.

Jensen froze and his careful hand trembled. He stared at her and comforted softly, "I will try to be more gentle. It'll hurt a little when I disinfect your wounds. Yet if I don't clean it, there might be an infection."

"I'm fine." Alice shook her head and her face was still red and swollen. "I'm really okay. You don't have to be so worried about me."

Jensen seemed more apologetic and guilty.

In truth, Alice could feel that he was trying to be gentle and careful. She sensed traces of remorse too.

She did not know what to say.

"Does it hurt?" Jensen asked softly.

Alice shook her head.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Silly girl!" He rolled up the sleeves of Alice's bathrobe and spotted the bruises on her wrist. A pang of pain hit him again and he started applying ointment on her bruises.

Jensen gently rubbed the ointment into her skin until it was absorbed. He put the ointment away and wanted to speak.

Alice picked up the ice bag and applied it on her face.

Jensen stared at her and hesitated. He decided to ask tentatively again, "Can you tell me now?"

Alice was startled. She felt a surge of courage after noticing Jensen's sorrowful eyes.

"Jensen, teach me how to fight," Alice requested.

Jensen was taken aback and he met her eyes out of reflex.

Alice was also surprised by what she said.

She did not want to give up.

Alice felt that cowardice should not exist in her and Grace's lives.

Backing away without even trying was wrong. Besides, Jensen was so gentle and protective about her. How could she let Jensen go?

After a long pause, Jensen regained himself from the shock and there was a pleasant surprise in Jensen's eyes.

Immediately, he felt Alice's struggle and her determination.

He realized that he underestimated this girl's courage.

In the end, she did not break up with him.

She said that she wanted to learn how to fight.

Immense joy flowed through Jensen's heart.

It was like the warm sun and it lit up his dimmed heart. In the blink of an eye, his heart lit up.

"Alice." Jensen was elated and he called her name in a hoarse voice.

"I've decided," Alice added, "Well, I'll be frank. Jensen, I really wanted to break up with you just now."

His eyes narrowed.
