When the doctors and nurses brought the needles and medicines, they kept their heads down and did not dare to look up. The nurse was so terrified that her hand trembled as she approached the bed with the needle for the drip. She was too scared to touch him. When he saw the nurse with the needle, Hunter was in full resistance mode. He hated needles, and he hated women even more!
The nurse shivered in confusion. The man had an intimidating aura, so she was not only too scared to get close to him, but she also did not even have the courage to stand next to him! She had heard that Eldest Young Master Jackson hated women, and it seemed like that rumor was true. So, how could she deliver the injection if she could not get close to him?
“El… Eldest Young Master Jackson…”
“Don’t frighten her. She is just here to give you an injection.”
Emily tugged Hunter’s hand. However, he balled his fist tightly and hid his hand under the quilt. What was that? Why did he behave like a kid? Was the mighty Eldest Young Master so scared of injections that he would hide his hand under the quilt? Emily almost laughed out loud. She tried to pull his hand again, but it seemed like he was determined to keep them underneath the duvet.
“Will you take the injection?” Her face darkened as she tried to put up a fierce front.
Hunter did not say anything, but he had stubbornness written all over his face. Emily glared at him and decided to play her trump card.
“I still have a lot of things to do. If you are not getting the injection, then I will go.”
She stood up and acted as if she was prepared to leave. As she took one step forward, Hunter grabbed her hand.
His face was so somber that one would find it difficult to look at him. “Don’t go.”
“Then, will you take the injection?” Emily had no plan to leave; she only wanted to threaten him. Was that to get back at him for scaring those people? The doctors and nurses were terrified of him. Liam was so scared that he even took his escape from the room. Did he not realize that they thought his face was ugly and intimidating?
Hunter kept his gaze on the needle in the nurse’s hand, and the muscles on his face twitched. Emily finally realized that he was terrified of needle injections. She thought that he only disliked it, but it seemed like he was genuinely afraid of the needles.
She was pleasantly surprised to learn that there was still something that could intimidate Eldest Young Master Jackson. Her heart almost melted when she saw him as he tried his best to overcome his fear.
She softened her tone. “It will last for only a second, and it’ll only feel like a mosquito bite.”
She pulled on fingers from her wrist, one by one, to break away from his tight grip. Then she moved his large palm onto the quilt.
“It won’t hurt one bit. And if the doctor says that you need it, you might have to go for a second bag of drip.”
Hunter glared at the doctor.
“You are strong and healthy, so I don’t think you’ll need a second round of drip, Eldest Young Master Jackson.”
The doctor said hurriedly as if he feared that his words would offend the young master.
Hunter’s face darkened. “Well, if I’m that strong, why do I need to go on a drip?”
“Err…” The doctor glanced at Emily for help again.
Emily squeezed Hunter’s hand and helplessly said, “It’s just once, come on.”
Emily kept a hold of his hand on the bed and told the nurse. “Go ahead.”
The nurse trembled as she walked toward Hunter with the needle in her hands.
Hunter fought with the urge to resist her, especially when the woman walked into his safe zone. Even Emily could feel it as his resistance grew stronger. Did he resist the needle or the nurse? Perhaps it was both?
When the nurse got near to him, she reached out to disinfect the point of injection. However, she did not even have the opportunity to touch him before he swept at the cotton bud with the back of his hands and bellowed angrily, “Go away!”
“Argh!” The nurse yelled and stumbled backward. She lost grip on the cotton swab, and it fell onto the ground.
“I… I…” The nurse looked at Emily; she was scared witless. “I only… only looked at him a couple of times.”
No wonder Hunter did not like her; he hated it when women flirted with him. Emily picked the cotton swab from the floor and threw it into the trash can. Then she went to the bathroom to wash her hands before she returned to the bed. She took Hunter’s large hands and placed them on her lap.
“I’ll do that for you, alright?”
“Young Madam Jackson…” The nurse looked anxious.
“It’s okay. I have done it before.” The last time she did that was on his buttocks. She would have to do it on the back of his hand.
She had studied medical care in her past life, so there she should not have any problems with administering an injection. She took the cotton swab from the nurse and used it to disinfect the back of Hunter’s hand. Then, she tore open the packaging of the needle. Hunter’s muscle tensed when he saw the needle and the syringe.
Emily gently patted the back of his hand and softly said, “It’s okay, trust me. It would only take a second.”
She took the syringe and moved it to the back of his hand. Hunter’s muscles clenched even tighter as she got closer to him. It seemed as if he would bolt at any time. Emily felt uneasy. Eldest Young Master looked as if he would harm those around him.
She whispered, “Don’t struggle. Otherwise, the needle might prick me.”
If he struggled, the needle might cut her?
Eldest Young Master Jackson stilled the very next second. He did not dare to move even an inch as he was worried that she might be hurt.
Emily had a strange feeling in her heart. She could not tell what it was, but she felt warm and loved. The man was loathsome when he bullied her. However, he could also be sweet when he wanted to, and she was touched…
Finally, the needle went in.
The man’s muscles tensed again, and Emily reassured him in a soothing voice, “It’s okay. Stay still, and you will be fine soon.”
The doctor and the nurse looked worried; they were afraid that Eldest Young Master Jackson might attack and hurt Young Madam Jackson. They were amazed when the ruthless young master had obeyed Emily.
The doctor gaped, and the nurse was envious of Emily. The nurse also wanted a cute pet like Eldest Young Master Jackson. It was apparent that he was a faux lion; he was more like a gentle pet dog. It must have been fun to have him around! Unfortunately, the nurse was not Young Madam Jackson. Perhaps only Emily could get Hunter to be so obedient…
After the drip and the medications, Hunter could not wait to leave the hospital. He felt as if they would force more drips and medicines on him had he stayed any longer. Once the needle was removed, he immediately wanted to leave for the Jackson mansion.
Emily had no choice but asked Liam to prepare the car. There was nothing to pack so they could leave as soon as they got into the car. However, Emily remembered to ask the doctor for some medications before they left the hospital.
As soon as they got into the car, Hunter leaned onto Emily’s shoulders and closed his eyes. He looked like he was asleep. Most of his stuff was at the WongRiver Pavilion, so that was where they were headed.
As soon as the car pulled up to the front yard, a flirty voice echoed, “Eldest Young Master Jackson, they said that you were injured!”
They heard the voice before they saw who said it. The voice sounded hoarse as if its owner had been crying.
“How are you? Are you badly hurt?”
