Chapter 66
He was five years older than Julian, and they’d grown up as neighbors, practically brothers. Now, as Anya’s husband and Julian’s brother–in–law, Kaleb knew him like the back of his hand just like Anya did
Kaleb thought to himself. If Julian didn’t care about Rosalie, why on earth would he be so worked up seeing her like this?
By the time the assistant finished cleaning the glass shards from Rosalie’s foot, Julian had been holding Rosalie close for a while now, his nerves on edge. Each time she whimpered, it was like a knife to his gut, his heart leaping into his throat.
“Didn’t I tell you to be gentle?” Julian’s face was stone cold as he looked at the young medical assistant, who was now drenched in sweat, clearly under the pressure of his intense gaze.
“Enough, Julian. Are you serious? This mess is all because of you, so why take it out on her?” Anya interjected, stepping in to defend the poor girl. “With the stupid way you’re acting, someone might think Rosalie’s foot got chopped off, not just scratched.”
Julian rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself,
elf, What do you mean, this mess is all because of me? What exactly did I do?
At that very moment, Rosalie, who had been quietly whining in Julian’s arms, suddenly lifted her head. Her dazed eyes, tinged with a hint of irritation, locked onto him. Julian’s here? Then where’s that jerk?” she muttered.
Julian was rendered speechless. His mind raced, but he simply couldn’t find the words.
Rosalie began to squirm in his arms, trying to sit up. She rolled up her sleeves, grumbling as she did. “Tell him to come here. I’m going to smash that jerk’s head in,” she mumbled
Julian didn’t say a word. Silently, Anya and Kaleb exchanged an awkward glance, both sensing the tension in the air. Even the doctor and assistant were at a loss for words.
Seeing Rosalie struggle to free herself, Julian tightened his grip on her, his voice low and commanding. “Sit still. Don’t move.”
To his surprise, Rosalie immediately went still, her body relaxing in his arms.
After finishing the bandaging, the doctor handed Julian some ointment and carefully instructed. “This medication will help Ms. Talley’s foot heal Since the wounds are on the bottom of her foot, she should keep it dry, avoid walking on it, and stay away from seafood to prevent any infection.”
Julian didn’t respond, but he silently absorbed every word the doctor said, making sure to remember every detail.
