CHAPTER 245 HURT

Christina was slightly startled before she reflexively tried to push Francis’ head away.

However, when she lifted her hand, she saw,blood dripping down Francis’ back.

She was stunned, and her hand stiffened. I don’t have the heart to push him away.

In order to prevent the rowdy group outside from noticing what was happening, the three of them left.

through the backdoor.

Then, Francis was driven to a hospital.

The doctor was a woman, so when she saw the patient was Francis, her line of sight was affixed to

him.

Never would she expect to meet a superstar on a boring night.

Christina was a little amused by the doctor’s reaction. After waiting for a while, she couldn’t help but

remind, “Doctor, can you treat his wound?” If she continues staring at him, he’ll bleed to death.

That snapped the female doctor back to her senses. Without delay, she turned around to grab the tools

to staunch the blood. “I’m sorry, but can you please remove your clothes?”

When Christina heard that, she wanted to leave, but Parker stopped her. “I need to move the car.

Please. take care of Mr. Fernando.”

Before she could say anything, he left.

Concurrently, Francis removed his coat, revealing a shirt underneath. When Christina saw his back,

she gasped.

During the ride to the hospital, Parker mentioned Francis was injured by a sharp object during a stunt.

It was a severe wound that required treatment at the hospital.

However, he asked the doctor on the scene to stop the bleeding expeditiously so he could make it to

the competition for Christina in time.

His wound was likely reopened when he moved around.

Francis was thinner than Christina expected, as she could see his beautiful vertebrae when he bent

slightly.

“The wound is deep. He’ll need stitches. Should I administer anesthetic for you?” the female doctor

inquired professionally as she put on a mask.

Staring at his wound, she frowned. He must be in immense pain.

Francis shook his head with a darkened look. “No. I’m a little allergic to anesthetics, and I still have

work to do tomorrow. It’ll affect my performance.”

He’s still thinking about his work, even though he’s this injured? Christina was tempted to agree on his

behalf but hesitated and ultimately chose to stay quiet. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The female doctor asked Francis to lie on the bed before treating his wound. “Fortunately, you don’t

scar easily, so you only need to pay slight attention to prevent that from happening.”

Half an hour later, Francis was sent to a VIP ward to rest. He was on the verge of falling asleep due to

exhaustion and lack of anesthetic during the treatment.

His eyes were half opened, and his countenance was as pale as snow. He looked incredibly fragile at

that

moment.

Before he passed out, he whispered, “Don’t go.”

Christina was slightly taken aback as she saw him gripping the edge of her shirt, looking like a puppy

hoping that its master wouldn’t leave. “I’m not leaving, but I can’t keep standing here either. I’m going to

grab a chair.” There’s no way I’m standing for the rest of the night. I’m drained after working for days on

end.

Francis inched his body to the side, leaving a space beside him on the bed. With a smirk, he said, “My

bed’s pretty wide. You can lie next to me. I’ll warm you up.”

It was as though he could lure someone into his embrace with just a look, even though his well-defined

face was leaning sideways.

Christina’s temples throbbed. Ugh, I wish he’d stop using his pretty face to seduce me. “I’m going to

say no to that. You should be resting instead of trying to be naughty.”

She brought a chair and settled it far away from the bed as though she was putting her guard up

against. someone dangerous.

In her mind. Francis was a thousand-year-old demon fox, so she couldn’t lower her guard around him

completely.

Seeing that she wasn’t going to leave, Francis slumbered.

The night wasn’t that long. When sunlight landed on Christina’s slender body, she appeared like a

sleeping. angel who had fallen from the heavens..

Suddenly, a nurse entered the room to refill Francis’ anti-inflammatory medicine. I heard a superstar is

staying in the hospital. They must be referring to Francis Fernando!

Swiftly, she performed her task silently. Seeing that the two people in the room were still asleep, she

took a photo of them with her phone. There aren’t any scandals about Francis, even though he debuted

a long time ago. It must be because he hid his dirty secrets well. He must have a close relationship with

this woman since she keeps him company all night. I may be able to earn a pretty penny with this

picture.

After that, she left the room.

The door was pushed open again when the sun was high in the sky. The loud bang woke both Francis

and Christina up.

A powerful, domineering aura enveloped the room like a web.

Christina’s body felt sore after she slept in a chair for a night. She opened her dry eyes and saw the

towering man before her. “Nathaniel?”

She realized her voice was hoarse after the word slipped from her mouth. Crap, I’m feeling a little dizzy

too. Am I sick?

Nathaniel’s intimidating presence, enhanced by the black suit on his tall figure, the darkened look in his

eyes, and the handful of bodyguards behind him, was impossible to ignore.

He stepped toward Christina and pulled her slender body up. “Let’s go home.”

Christina nodded, thinking she should leave as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.

However, Francis didn’t bother reading the room. He leaned against the headboard as his soft, fluffy

bangs. rested on the side of his face.

Narrowing his eyes, he intentionally uttered in a suggestive tone. “I’m so touched by Christina’s

willingness to stay by my side for the whole night. I must have a special place in her heart.”

Nathaniel was already incensed, yet Francis intentionally poured more fuel into the fire.

Without delay, Nathaniel stepped toward Francis and lifted the latter by his collar, which was

immediately torn slightly.

Christina hastily approached the men to stop the fight as if Nathaniel would punch Francis if she were a

second late.

Hugging Nathaniel’s waist, she explained. “Of course, I do because Francis is your little brother. Won’t

you say it’s normal for his older brother and sister-in-law to take care of him?”

The two men were astonished by her words.

“It’s only natural we take care of our family, right, Darling?” Christina smiled. If I frame this matter as

family members caring for each other, everything makes sense.

At that moment, she changed her ambiguous relationship with Francis to a familial one.
