Adrian Law held the tired-looking girl in his arms, his expression filled with deep pity.
——Whoever has the audacity to hurt her will have to pay a heavy price!
"Wyatt, drive faster."
"Young Master, this is already the fastest speed possible, otherwise we’ll break the law."
Adrian Law’s lips pressed into a thin line, and the air around seed to drop by a few degrees.
"Don’t worry about that."
Cecilia Vaughn knew the man was distressed over her burn, and she gently tugged on Adrian Law’s sleeve.
"Adrian, it’s okay, it’s better to drive safely."
"..."
Adrian Law said nothing, his heart aching as he gazed over the girl’s eyebrows and eyes, wishing she wasn’t so understanding.
His dark pupils grew even deeper.
Florence Warner, Fiona Vaughn...
Very well, he would "repay" these two for their constant care of Cecilia!
...
The storm is about to break!
Wyatt Law, who was driving in front, caught a glimpse of Adrian Law’s eyes from the rearview mirror and shivered all over.
He had followed Adrian Law for many years and naturally knew this was a sign of the Young Master’s complete anger!
Even when soone had offended the Young Master before, it had never escalated to this extent!
Wow, it seems the consequences of hurting the Young Madam are much more terrible than hurting the Young Master!
He focused with two hundred percent concentration, striving to reach Prescott Hospital as quickly as possible.
The specially customized Bugatti Veyron maneuvered through the congested city with incredible agility, taking only half the usual ti.
...
Adrian Law was heartbroken over Cecilia Vaughn’s injuries; as soon as he got out of the car, he scooped Cecilia Vaughn up in his arms.
The girl let out a cry of surprise, imdiately attracting many gazes. In broad daylight, Cecilia Vaughn’s face turned red at once.
"Adrian, quickly put down!"
Her main injuries were on her arm, not her foot; she could walk!
Yet Adrian Law was more domineering and assertive than ever. He swept his cold, sharp gaze over Cecilia Vaughn with a tone that allowed no refusal.
"I can move faster with you in my arms."
"..."
What kind of unreasonable logic is that? How could carrying soone make you walk faster!
Cecilia Vaughn wanted to argue, but Adrian Law seed determined to prove his point, directly striding swiftly forward.
Though Cecilia Vaughn was slender, she weighed nearly 90 pounds, yet this weight seed like nothing in Adrian Law’s hands, not affecting his pace at all.
Onlookers at the hospital turned their heads, initially surprised, but upon seeing the striking looks of Adrian Law and Cecilia Vaughn, they imdiately beca envious.
What a perfect couple!
Cecilia Vaughn felt extrely embarrassed; she knew that Adrian Law, still angry about her injury, wouldn’t put her down. She could only bury her head in his chest.
The crisp scent of bamboo spread, bringing a strange sense of comfort, making the pain in her arm seem less piercing.
Sensing the relaxation of the little woman in his arms, the man’s grim expression slightly eased while his pace continued to accelerate.
...
Three minutes later, Adrian Law appeared in Zion Prescott’s private office with Cecilia Vaughn in his arms.
"What’s happened to you two?"
Upon hearing footsteps, Zion Prescott looked up from his desk, his keen eyes sweeping over Cecilia Vaughn’s obviously scalded arm, feeling sowhat surprised.
Adrian Law’s voice was chilly, carrying tension he didn’t even realize.
"Cecilia was burned by hot water. Zion, take care of it first; we’ll talk about the details later."
"Alright."
Zion Prescott, knowing the importance of treating the injury first, imdiately had the nurse bring tools for treating hot water scalds.
The first was a pair of scissors; he frowned and carefully cut away the sleeve stuck to Cecilia Vaughn’s arm.
The skin was red and swollen, even blistered.
The injury was severe... not like an accident at all.
But who would deliberately spill hot water on Cecilia Vaughn?
"This wasn’t an accident, was it?"
"No."
As Zion Prescott cut the sleeve stuck to her skin, pulling it off, the burned flesh throbbed with intense pain.
Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, barely enduring it.
...
Adrian Law, who had been watching Cecilia Vaughn intently, saw her eyebrows tightly knitted, knowing how much it hurt.
When he heard that restrained gasp, the man tightened his grip in distress.
He couldn’t help but lowly warn.
"Zion, be gentle, don’t you see how much Cecilia is hurting?"
"..."
Zion Prescott glanced at Adrian Law speechlessly. With arms burned like this, how could it not hurt? Yet, he was blad for being heavy-handed?
Understanding his friend’s concern, Zion Prescott didn’t take it to heart, lightening his touch slightly.
"Miss Vaughn, I need to remove so necrotic skin before applying dicine, bear with it as much as you can."
"Okay..."
It really hurt too much!
Cecilia Vaughn gritted her teeth tightly; usually incredibly strong, her eyes now brimd with tears.
Realizing he couldn’t help with anything, Adrian Law just stood by, watching her intently, feeling endless heartache.
"Cecilia, if it hurts, just scream, it’s okay, maybe it’ll feel a bit better."
Cecilia Vaughn glanced at Adrian Law gratefully. The man remained by her side, even in silence, his tall figure silently cheering her on.
The girl bit her lip stubbornly, trying not to make a sound.
She didn’t want to show weakness to others, even though she was already a ss right now.
...
As Zion Prescott treated the wound, he occasionally glanced at Cecilia Vaughn’s pale face, marveling at her resilience.
The endurance of his friend’s young wife would make many grown n embarrassed.
"Luckily, you arrived quickly, otherwise, the chance of scarring would have been higher."
"For now, just apply the burn ointnt regularly; when it scabs over, apply the Ice Skin Jade Bone Ointnt I gave Adrian last ti, and there won’t be any traces left."
Knowing how much beauty ans to won, Cecilia Vaughn sighed in relief upon hearing this.
Once Zion Prescott finished bandaging Cecilia Vaughn, the worried Adrian Law finally felt a sense of relief.
"Zion, sorry to trouble you again."
"No trouble at all, just a small matter."
The man thanked Zion on behalf of Cecilia Vaughn, then turned to her with a stern expression.
"Don’t let this happen again. Your health is more important than anything, understand?"
"..." Cecilia Vaughn saw Adrian Law’s displeased face and couldn’t help but softly defend herself: "I know my limits, today was an accident."
If she hadn’t seen her mother’s pearl necklace, she wouldn’t have dodged out of the way.
She also planned to reclaim her mother’s belongings in the future.
Cecilia Vaughn secretly vowed in her heart.
But hearing this, the man’s expression worsened, and he forcefully pulled Cecilia Vaughn into his arms, his voice leaving no room for objection.
"No, you must listen to from now on."
...
Doctor Prescott and Wyatt are still here!
And he’s holding her again!
Cecilia Vaughn’s face flushed red. She wanted to push Adrian Law away, but at that mont, the door to the room opened, and a lighthearted whistle sounded...
"Oh, seems I ca at a bad ti?"
