Chapter 273
“I’m fine,” Harold said. “I know what I’m doing. It’s just a superficial wound.”
“I saw it.” Crystal didn’t believe it. She wiped away her tears and said, “The dagger has been stabbed
in half, and so much blood has flowed out. How could it be just a superficial wound…”
“That’s enough,” Harold said. “If you continue to cry, your eyes will swell up to the size of a walnut.”
hurt?”
He held Crystal’s hand. “Are you
Crystal shook her head. “No, but you…”
“Crystal.”
Harold touched her hair, looked down and said, “Can you go out with Luke first? I’ll handle the things
here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCrystal looked at Mark, who was lying on the ground, and Kimberly, who was scared out of her wits.
She sniffed and said, “Can’t you… can’t you deal with the wound first?”
She was so anxious. “You really lost a lot of blood…”
“It will only take a while.” Harold comforted her. “I’ll be out soon. I promise.”
Luke whispered, “Mrs. White, I’ll take you to the car first.”
Harold raised his hand and wiped away the tear stains on Crystal’s face. He then held her face and
kissed her between her eyebrows. His voice was very soft. “Good girl.”
Crystal sniffed. “Then I… will wait for you outside.”
“Okay.”
Crystal kept turning back as she followed Luke downstairs. Marcus curled his lips and said, “Since
you’re dealing with your family affairs, I can’t stand by and watch.”
Harold did not speak. Marcus followed Crystal sensibly. They went out of the warehouse together. Luke
took a pack of wet tissue and gave it to Crystal so that she could wipe her face clean. Crystal got into
the car that was filled with water, food, and clean clothes.
The doctor was waiting outside to check if Crystal was injured.
Crystal took off her dirty clothes and let the doctor check on her. After a check, the doctor found that
there were no serious wounds on Crystal’s body. She was hung by a rope, and her wrists were
scratched. They were bloody and swollen, which looked a little scary.
He applied medicine to Crystal’s hands and then said to Luke, “Mrs. White’s injury is not serious, but
she is in shock. She needs a good rest.”
Luke nodded, and the doctor retreated to the side. Luke said, “Mrs. White, please drink some water
and eat something.”
Crystal had no appetite. She leaned against the window and looked at the warehouse.
She didn’t know what Harold was going to do, but she could tell that he was in a very bad mood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCrystal unconsciously bit her lips, and her long eyelashes drooped. She looked very aggrieved.
“Second Young Master, thank you very much for today.” Luke thanked Marcus formally and politely. “If it
weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened.”
“You’re welcome.” Marcus smiled. “Crystal is my sister. It’s my duty to save her. It’s too polite for you to
say that, Assistant Britton.”
Crystal heard him and turned to look at him.
This was not Marcus’s attitude when he abandoned her on the mountain last time.
Marcus looked into her eyes and remained calm. He said softly, “Are you scared? It’s all right. Don’t be
afraid.”
What he had done was simply beyond comprehension. He had just saved Crystal, and now he was
comforting her in a gentle voice. He acted just like a good brother.
Crystal’s fair face was expressionless. After a moment of silence, she said to Luke, “Assistant
Britton, I have something to say to him alone.”
Luke nodded. “Sure, Mrs. White.”
