When Bethan pressed onto Brettley’s right arm, he frowned deeply. His face was slightly distorted as he let Bethan go.
Bethan was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously looked up.
His right arm bled even more.
The fresh red blood seeped into his white shirt in a sultry yet fragile way.
Brettley furrowed his brows. He looked at Bethan curtly without saying anything.
Bethan bit her lip before she then scooted away from him a little. She was almost pressed up against the car door.
She furrowed her brows and looked at the blood on his arm.
“Should you go to the hospital?”
Bethan saw it herself how heavily injured his arm was the day before. No matter what, he got injured because of her. Although he might be despicable, she should not have torn his wound open.
However…
She had forgotten he got injured because of her back there.
She did not do it on purpose.
“No need.”
Brettley looked at her with darkened eyes. He then turned to the back compartment of the car and took a packet of tissues. He drew a piece of tissue out.
Bethan furrowed her brows and watched his every move, blurting, “You should deal with it once you’re back in the hotel. The tissue won’t be able to wipe it off cleanly.”
Brettley could not help but snicker at Bethan’s words. “There’s no water in my brain.”
He passed the tissue to her. “Wipe it off.”
Bethan paused a little, not understanding what he meant.
Seeing how she did not respond, Brettley furrowed his brows and turned around. He used the tissue and wiped Bethan’s mouth with force.
The white tissue was dyed red with fresh blood.
Only then did Bethan remember that when he kissed her with force a moment ago, he bit her lips.
She pursed her lips and looked at him. She took the tissue and wiped off the remaining splotches of blood on her lips.
When she unintentionally touched the wound that Brettley bit open a moment ago, she furrowed her brows in pain.
“I was saying…”
When she was seriously wiping blood off her lips, Brettley’s cold, magnetic voice rang out once more, “I didn’t get Lucas to bring escorts to look for you. I ‘m not that petty. I won’t ruin your life just because you slapped Alice.”
Brettley eyed Bethan bitterly. “Bethan, am I such a cruel person to you?”
Bethan lowered her head and ignored him. Was he not a cruel person?
Among all the people that she knew, he was the only one who was cruel.
Seeing her not responding, Brettley sighed once again.
“Theo went to the police station to file a report this morning. He said that I intended to destroy you while you were drunk. The Sea City police force is taking this matter seriously, and that’s why he’s still in the police station, giving a detailed statement.
The police aren’t the only ones who’ll investigate this matter. I’ll investigate this for you, too.”
Bethan looked up at him. Brettley’s eyes were deep. From his look…
She felt that he was not lying to her.
However, the pursuers last night clearly mentioned that Brettley was the one who sent them.
Not only did she hear it from Theo, but she also heard it herself that the pursuers mentioned Brettley’s name.
If they were not his men, then who would be so bold as to impersonate him and chase after her all over Sea City?
Not long after, the car arrived at the hotel.
Exiting the elevator, Bethan immediately took her key card and headed to her room.
She planned to have a good shower and collect her thoughts before she could properly analyze what Brettley said.
However, she did not expect that the moment she opened her door, Brettley immediately squeezed past her into her room and sat on the sofa.
She stood by the entrance. “Mr. Morrison, this is my room.”
Brettley ignored her. He unbuttoned his shirt.
Bethan furrowed her brows. “Brettley, what are you doing?”
He swept her a glance and undressed the bandage that was drenched with blood.
“Help me apply some medication.”
Bethan was taken aback as she chewed on her lip. Hesitant, she then closed the door and walked to him.
She took the first aid kit and sat next to him. “
Shouldn’t Mrs. Morrison help you do this?” she scoffed as she searched for medication. Brettley laughed.
“You want me to take off my shirt and show her the marks you left on my body?”
Bethan instantly blushed.
She laid her eyes on the bite marks on Brettley’s left shoulder.
When they were deep in the throes of passion, she bit his shoulder harshly out of anger for the things he did the night before. It left a mark.
She did not know what went through her head back there. Perhaps she felt that since Brettley was willing to treat her that way all because of Alice, she was going to leave a mark on Brettley’s body for Alice to see!
However…
If the truth was as Brettley said, someone was impersonating him, hiring escorts to chase after her She was at a huge loss.
Not only did she make the first move, letting Brettley eat her up, but she also left a mark on his body.
If Alice saw it and got angry, it would be huge trouble.
At that thought, Bethan’s eyes darkened. She carefully dressed his wounds as she murmured, “I was angry at that time…”
“Mmh. “
Brettley flatly smiled. “Just because of your momentary anger, you’ll have to be in charge of applying medication for me for the next few days.”
Bethan nodded. “Okay.”
He got injured because of her. It was only right that she took care of him.
Furthermore, if she truly misunderstood him, it would be wise to not Alice see the bite marks on his shoulders to save her unnecessary troubles.
Rumble!
Not long after applying medication for her, a rumble rang out gently in the room.
Brettley furrowed his brows and looked at Bethan.
Bethan chuckled rather stiffly. “I barely had anything last night. I only drank, but I then puked a few rounds at the hotel. I haven’t had any food up till now…”
Being hungry was not an embarrassment, was it?
Brettley chuckled gently. He picked the phone up and dialed Lucas. “Send us some food.”
Lucas nodded. “Is it for you only? Or, for you and Mrs. Morrison?”
“It’s for me and Bethan. Send it over to Bethan’s room.”
Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while. “Okay.”
