Eldest Young Master Jackson was always the tall tree that could shelter everyone from the elements, but he had almost fainted! Emily was amazed that she did not die of fright on the spot. She immediately went to his side to support him, but she was anxious about it.
“I will go home with you tonight! I will not go back to school! Tell me, please, what do you want to do?”
Hunter was not pretending. He had not had the drip after he arrived at the hospital. He had sat on the bed for so long, so there was no way to avoid the dizzy spell when he got out of bed so suddenly. However, the wave of dizziness was gone just as quickly, and he felt refreshed.
It was just some dizziness, and the girl had promised to go home with him. He did not even need to say anything else. It seemed like it would not be a bad idea to get a ‘dizzy spell’ occasionally.
“I want to go to the toilet,” he said plainly.
Emily took his arm and said, “I’ll take you there.”
He nodded and said nothing. Even though he could walk on his own, he put half of his weight on his shoulders. Then he realized that the girl was far more considerate toward him if he pretended to be ‘fragile.’ So, all he needed to do was to act as if he was ‘weak.’ After they walked into the bathroom, he just stood there. He continued to look helpless as he held on to the basin.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, don’t you need to use the toilet?”
Why did he do nothing when they reached the toilet? She was about to go and wait outside the bathroom so that he could have some privacy. However, she was uneasy with the way he had looked.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson…”
“Hmm.” He answered, but still, he did not move. He closed his eyes as he leaned against the sink.
“Are you dizzy again?”
“Hmm.”
Emily sighed. Would he faint while he was on the toilet?
Should she help him? How would she do that? If he had to use the toilet, then he would have to… take his pants off.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, are you feeling uncomfortable because you are trying to hold it in?”
“Hmm.” It was a straight-forward answer. Why would he stand there if he did not have to?
“I… I will help you.”
The young woman finally succumbed to her conscience and decided to help him to the toilet. Hunter put his hand on the wall to support himself. Then she crouched in front of him. She looked anxious as she stared at the waistband of his pants.
Did she need to help him to untie his pants? It seemed… so embarrassing.
“Uncomfortable!” The man’s impatient voice echoed from above her head.
Emily shuddered. Her long fingers tugged at the string on his pants. She only needed to help him to untie his pants, then all he needed to do was… to pull down his pants…
How would she face what was about to happen if she were to pull his pants down for him? What should she do? However, he already said that he was uncomfortable.
Emily bit her lip and closed her eyes. Her fingers grabbed Hunter’s waistband, and she was about to pull his pants down when a hand gently grabbed hers. She looked up and saw Hunter stared at her with a gleam in his eyes. It was as if he was smiling.
“Little horny woman, are you trying to take advantage of me while I’m sick?”
“I… I’m not taking advantage of you.” Emily looked up and stared into his intense eyes.
Her heart tugged when she noticed his smile. Eldest Young Master Jackson had always kept a straight face, but he looked so charming when he smiled.
“No?” Hunter raised his eyebrows and looked at the position of their hands. “So, what are you doing now?”
“I…” What was under her palm? It seemed… to have moved…
“Argh!”
When Liam heard her scream, he barged into the room just as Emily got out of the bathroom.
“Young Madam, what’s wrong? Is Eldest Young Master…”
“He’s okay! He…” Emily wanted to take a look into the bathroom, but she dared not. She could only stay outside the door and was careful not to look around.
“He just… went to the toilet.”
Had nothing happened? So why did she scream? Why was there a blush on her face? It was as if her face would bleed.
“Eldest Young Master…”
“Do I need so many people to attend to me when I go to the toilet?”
Hunter’s tall figure appeared at the door. Emily panicked as she feared that he would fall, so she quickly turned around to support him.
Liam looked away and coughed softly. “Well, the doctor said, if you can, it’s best… to get two packs of anti-inflammatory drips in you.”
The man’s body turned cold immediately, and Liam subconsciously stepped backward to move further away from him. If the young madam were not there, Liam would not have dared to mention that. The doctor had tried to persuade Hunter several times in the afternoon but to no avail. Eldest Young Master Jackson’s cold demeanor had finally driven the doctor away from the room.
The doctor had spoken to Liam in private, and he told Hunter’s right-hand man that the eldest young master’s injury would require anti-inflammatory drips to prevent any infections.
Under Hunter’s razor-sharp gazes, Liam looked at Emily and whispered, “The doctor urged Eldest Young Master to get the drips.”
“You can go now!” Hunter’s voice was cold as a frozen sword.
Liam subconsciously took two more steps back to retreat to the door. He thought that it would be easier for him to escape if anything were to happen!
“Why don’t you want the drip?” Emily asked as she supported Hunter back to the bed.
Even though his cold aura nearly suffocated the place, Emily knew that it was not directed at her, so it did not bother her at all.
“I’m fine.” Hunter murmured.
It seemed like Liam had an extra dose of courage when he lowered his head to whisper, “I think that Young Madam seems to have many other things to do. Eldest Young Master, if you are feeling okay, perhaps Young Madam could head back to school for her other tasks?”
Hunter looked as if he could kill his subordinate. It was apparent that Liam wanted to sabotage his plan! Well, well, well! When had he gotten so brave? Did Liam not know that he had crossed the line? However, was it not for Hunter’s sake anyway?
Liam pleaded with Emily with a look, and then he immediately retreated to the door. “Young Madam, you can do it!”
The shadow then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Emily felt helpless. After she helped Hunter to sit on the bed, she stood up and looked at him.
“Besides the drips, did you also refuse to take your medications?”
He did not answer her. Emily knew that he must have been a difficult patient. However, it looked like it was a severe injury, so how could he refuse the drips? She turned and rang the intercom, and the doctor appeared in less than ten seconds.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, what’s the matter?”
“Don’t you have to give him drips? What about his medications?”
“Well…” The doctor stole a look at Hunter.
Hunter’s face darkened, and he was about to scare the cowardly guy away with his eyes and gaze.
To his surprise, the woman beside him coldly said, “If you scare him away, I will go back to school. You can fend for yourself then!”
Liam had reminded her that she could go back to school if there was nothing wrong with the eldest young master. However, she did not know why Hunter wanted her to stay with him. Did he not already have Wendy? Nonetheless, he looked as if he wished to have Emily by his side after his injury. Perhaps he would agree to the drips if she threatened to head back to the university had he refused treatment again.
