Aurelia pushed his hand away with great force, her expression panicked and urgent.
Without looking up, she knew how terrible Mason Nightshade's expression would be. She explained, asking, "My brother's hand is injured, is he in this hospital too? How is his hand? Will it..."
Aurelia's voice paused, stopping for a mont before finishing her sentence.
"Will it… affect his playing piano?"
She still couldn't bring herself to say the words "beco disabled."
Mason Nightshade's face was tense, "Lie back in bed, and I'll tell you how he's doing."
"Mason..." Aurelia looked up, catching sight of Mason's unwavering gaze, her red lips tightly pressed together.
Both of them were stubborn people.
But in a head-to-head confrontation, Mason Nightshade was clearly the stronger one.
He said, "Lie back in bed, or I'll tie you to the bed, you choose."
"Don't use your soldier training on !" Aurelia raised her voice.
Mason Nightshade's face darkened, "If I were to use my soldier training on you, I wouldn't be asking for your opinion, I'd have directly tied you to the bed and made you obedient by now!"
He took a step forward, looking down at her, his eyes deep and scorching.
"Or use other thods to make sure you obediently lie back in bed."
Aurelia wasn't stupid; she saw in Mason's eyes what the other thod he ntioned would be.
She gritted her teeth angrily.
Mason Nightshade displayed that obedient loyal dog look again, "Be good and lie back down, okay? Hmm? Aurelia?"
Aurelia was angry at him, annoyed by him, didn't trust him, but also feared him most when he acted like this.
Taking a deep breath, Aurelia lay back on the bed, glaring at Mason, "How's my brother? His hand... is it okay?"
Mason could see the worry on Aurelia's face.
But if he let her go out in such a panic and irrational state, sothing would definitely happen.
"Caspian Parker is fine, although his hand was injured, the doctor stitched it up, the wound isn't deep, it didn't affect the tendons or bones, it won't affect his future piano playing," he said.
Aurelia exhaled a breath.
Her tightly clenched fingers relaxed, a layer of anxious sweat covering her palms.
Mason saw she had cald down and tucked the blanket around her, "Your injuries are more serious than his; take care of yourself first before worrying about others."
When he said the word "others," Mason's voice was gloomy, filled with intense jealousy.
Aurelia didn't notice and thought of sothing again.
This ti Mason reacted quickly, pressing her shoulders down before she could move, his brows furrowed, displeasure flashing in his eyes, his thin lips tightly pursed.
Aurelia cald down, knowing she couldn't confront Mason directly.
Gentler ways were more effective than forceful ones.
Her tone softened, "I'll go see my brother."
"He's fine." Mason's hand didn't release, his lips pressed even tighter.
"My brother got hurt because of , and I won't be at ease unless I see for myself that he's okay. Mason, let go of ."
Mason didn't move.
He fixed a steady gaze on her for two seconds.
Suddenly he got up.
"You stay lying here properly; if I co back and find you've gotten out of bed, I promise I won't let you get out of bed again for half a year!"
Mason said this and left the room.
Aurelia watched the door close, she moved slightly, pulling at her wound, biting her teeth to endure the pain, her strength instantly draining away.
She lay in bed, powerless and weak.
Five minutes later.
Mason pushed the door open, his gaze first locking onto the bed.
Seeing her still obediently lying in bed, he sighed in relief internally, stepping inside.
Soone was following behind him.
