Chapter 27 Get Hurt
However, there was no clean clothes except for the fur coat of Clare.
"Well, I can't find any clean clothes here. So perhaps you need to..." Just as she entered the room with the fur coat, she was totally stunned when seeing him sitting on the sofa with all his clothes off. He was almost naked with a grey underwear. His strong chest was revealed in the air.
When hearing her coming in, Eden grabbed the curtain beside him to cover himself, "Sorry."
"It's okay." She then handed the coat to him, "Well, that's the only one I have now."
"Thank you!"
When Verena turned around, Eden had put on the fur coat.
Though it was a bit awkward when the fur coat covered on his tall and upright figure, he still looked quite sexy at this moment.
Eden hitched the coat up and then smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't fit me, right?"
"Yes, actually it fits you!" Verena handed him a glass of hot water. When seeing his face, she asked, "Do you feel sick besides having fever?"
"I have enterogastritis." Though he was drinking water, he still felt great pain down his stomach.
"No wonder you look so pale! We can't just stay here. We need to leave now! let me wring out your wet clothes and just put them on. When we get out of here, let's figure it out to deal with it." Eden felt great pain while suffering from enterogastritis. He could barely support himself up.
But he still managed to smile, "Okay!"
When they got on a taxi, the night had fallen. What was worse, it began to rain heavily.
Verena had been fixing her eyes outside the window in the taxi. Suddenly, she seemed to notice something. She asked the driver to stop and then she got off to rush out in the rain.
Eden was a bit confused. However, he could only lean against the seat weakly with his eyes closed because of great pain.
After a while, the door was opened. Verena, who was wet all over because of rain, hopped in while gasping. She wiped off the raindrops on her face and then handed him a cup of warm milky tea, "Just have some tea to warm up your stomach. Then take some pills."
Eden was a bit stunned. He then took the tea and looked at Verena, who kept smiling though she looked quite awkward. He asked, "Do you want some?"
"No, thanks. It's you who feel sick now. Just drink it. It's still warm."
He looked at the cup of tea, which was only half filled. He seemed to notice something wrong. Then he put away the tea and looked at her, "Come closer to me."
"Why?" Verena frowned confusedly.
"You stumbled down just now! Which part do you get hurt on your body?"
When hearing that, Verena couldn't help exclaiming surprisedly, "How do you know that?"
"The tea is only half filled. Besides, you have been gasping." He stated while looking at her.
"Jesus! Are you being a detective?" she blinked her eyes and smiled, "But I am fine! Just drink it and take some pills."
"I have been a stubborn type. So let me check your wound first!" his warm voice sounded firm and resolved.
Verena bit her lips and spread out her hands. Then a bleeding wound was revealed on her palm.
When she just running back with the tea, she slipped by accident. She hurried to support herself up but she failed to notice that there were broken glass pieces on the ground. So it cut her palm. Luckily, there was a med kit in the taxi. Eden took out a bottle of sanitizer to clean her wound.
As soon as he touched her wound with the swab drenched with sanitizer, Verena couldn't help biting her lips hard because of sharp pain. Her face went pale instantly.
"Don't bite your lips! Don't try to hold it back!"
As he just finished, he suddenly pressed on her wound with the swab before she noticed.
"Ahhh!" she started to sweat all over because of great pain. She even tried to struggle, "It hurts so much! Don't clean it up for me! No! It kills me!"
Eden smiled and looked at her. Then he reached out to hold her clenching fist gently.
She got blank when seeing that. Her heart even skipped a beat because of his sudden move.
Eden took another swab and gently rubbed against her wound, "Just hold on!"
While the swab touched her wound again, she couldn't help gasping and tried to take back her hand out of instinct.
However, he grabbed her hand hard and didn't let go.
"It hurts! Can you stop?" she started to struggle out of pain again.
Eden looked at her softly but still grabbed her hand tight, "Hey, it's okay. Just a moment!"
She raised her head to look at him.
He looked warm and kind.
When seeing his face, she seemed to feel less pain. And her hand started to relax under his grip. "What's your name?" she asked curiously.
He was still working on her wound and replied with his head down, "Eden Lawson."
"Eden Lawson?" she murmured. Suddenly, she frowned as it reminded her of Lemuel Lawson!
'Eden Lawson and Lemuel Lawson? Why do they share the same family name? Is he also the member of Lawson Family?' she was overwhelmed with curiosity. However, she deemed it abrupt if she asked so.
Of course she wanted to know if he was from the Lawson Family as well. And she also wanted to ask the name of his father.
However, she felt too awkward to ask.
She stopped her thought and then handed him the tea, "I am fine now. Just drink it and take the pills!"
After bandaging her wound, he then took the tea, "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. My name is Verena Moore." She smiled while blinking her eyes.
"A nice name!" Eden smiled and took a sip of the tea. Though it was too sweet for him, he still finished the tea.
"Of course! It was my grandma who came up with my name! Though she was illiterate and she couldn't even sign her own name, she could actually write my name correctly!"
While mentioning about her grandma, she looked quite happy with glow shining in her eyes. Obviously, she missed her grandma.
Eden smiled and kept on listening, "You love your grandma, right?"
"Of course! I love her the most in the world!" she answered immediately. It was her grandma who enlightened her childhood.
"Though she had passed away, I am sure she could hear your words in the heaven!"
Verena looked at him surprisedly. Then she smiled while blinking her eyes brightly, "Are you sure you are not a detective?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
