Things happened so quickly . Before everyone could react, he already had her palm in his .
Everyone only returned to their senses when the child started whining about his daddy stealing his ‘mommy’ .
“Waaahh!”
Pei Ge knitted her brows tightly together when the child started crying .
Instinctively, she wanted to take her hand out from the man’s, but no matter how hard she tried, he had a firm grip on her palm .
Her heart trembled a little when she felt the cold and familiar sensation around her hand .
So many years had passed, yet this man was still this domineering .
“Mr . Ji, please let go of me . ”
She raised her head and looked coldly at him .
The man only returned to himself from the warm sensation in his hand when he met her cold glare .
“No . ”
The two words, though simple, stunned everyone in the room .
Even the crying baby paused, shocked by his father’s response .
The other two women looked at him in shock as well . They both knew how cold and unresponsive he was to women .
They almost thought that he had aversion to women .
How could they not be shocked when they saw his bossy treatment of her?
“You…”
Pei Ge paused, then frowned, about to say something .
She then saw him roll up the sleeves of the shawl she had put on earlier as she was about to leave gently .
Once that was done, her fair arm came into view, but her arm had bruises and cuts, which made its appearance somewhat alarming .
There was even a spot with blood coming out, seemingly from being cut by a stone .
“Does it hurt…”
Looking at her arm, the man’s eyes darkened . He pursed his lips, his dashing face glum, making him appear more terrifying .
“…No,” she responded instinctively .
“Stupid woman . ”
He subconsciously blurted out when he saw her blank expression .
This was something that he had told her countless times .
Hearing these words come from his mouth, she paused . At that instant, she thought that she had returned to five years ago when they were still in a loving relationship .
Back then, she genuinely thought this man before her would be her support—the last man in her life .
Who knew…
Lowering her head, a mocking smile crept into her face . When she raised her face again, it was cold .
“Please watch your words . ”
As she spoke, she tried to withdraw her palm again from his .
This time, his grip was really tight .
His grip was so tight she thought that the man would hold on to her arm forever .
“Gosh! Miss Regina, your hand is so badly injured! Doc, hurry up and take a look at it for her!”
Madam Ji exclaimed with a deep frown, temporarily casting her son’s strange behavior toward the woman aside .
The fair skin of her arm was covered in bruises and red marks with traces of blood, which made the sight alarming to look at .
Without needing her prompting, the doctor had already opened his medical kit and went to check Pei Ge the instant he saw her wounds .
In the short time that the doctor was examining her arm, Mu Heng, who had been sent to inspect the room that the child had jumped from, returned .
The moment he entered, he saw the woman’s injured arm .
“Wh-What happened?! How did you get hurt?!”
He hurried toward her in a panic .
“Doctor, is she okay?”
“Is she okay?”
The two men on either side of her asked simultaneously when they saw the doctor pause in his actions .
Seeing how the two were acting, the other two women in the room thought that something was… out of place .
“Her wounds are superficial and she has no sprains or broken bones; she’ll be fine after resting for the night . Oh, right . Remember to keep the wound away from water before it heals . ”
The doctor said evenly after coughing lightly from being stared at by the two men .
Even though his face was calm, he was muttering to himself,
What’s up with this patient? Why is Mr . Ji treating her so differently? Isn’t Miss Qu his fiancée?
Besides, isn’t this boy another woman’s child? Why is he calling this female patient mommy?
With a head full of questions, the doctor kept his facial expression even as he got his tools out to disinfect Pei Ge’s wounds .
Because the antiseptic stung a little, when the doctor rubbed her arm using a cotton ball soaked in it, she retracted her arm intuitively .
It was a small action, but the sharp man noticed it .
“Doc, be more careful . ”
Even though his expression was plain, his tone was laced with threat .
Under this immense pressure and threat, the doctor’s hands trembled and resulted in him poking the woman’s wound by accident .
“Hiss!” She hissed in pain .
“Miss, I’m so sorry—”
He apologized to her hurriedly the moment he saw the faint traces of blood on the cotton .
Alas, before he could complete his apology, a cold hand caught his wrist .
Raising his head, he saw Ji Ziming’s gloomy and cold face .
He shuddered .
“Give it to me; I’ll do it . ”
