Chapter 854 An Awkward Situation
When Emmeline realized that he poured out some medicine cream as if he was about to help her rub it on her legs, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "You don't need to do it. I—I will do it by myself later."
With a pause, he looked at her and sneered. "Are you sure you can do it yourself?"
"Uh..." Hearing that, Emmeline took a glance at her swollen legs. It seemed that it was really a little difficult for her to do it on her own.
However, she was still unwilling to let Jara help her, so she hurriedly replied, "I can ask Yunne to help me. Otherwise, I can ask the doctor to help me too."
When she finished explaining, Jara sneered, "Yunne is just a maid. Do you think she knew how to do it?"
After a pause, he added, "Also, do you really think that the doctors here have nothing to do and will help you rub the medicine every day? Does she not have other things to do and have other patients to see?"
Hearing that, Emmeline was slightly stunned.
She was a little confused by what he said.
Wasn't the female doctor in the castle specially hired back to take care of her?
There were other patients in the castle that she needed to attend to?
Emmeline didn't know the answer, and she didn't dare to make any assumptions.
Before she could react, Jara had already rubbed the medicine onto her legs.
He had a huge palm. It was wide and slightly rough like the kind that came from years of martial arts training and holding a gun.
The thin calluses glided over her smooth skin, causing her to shiver all over her body.
Obviously, Jara didn't do anything to Emmeline, but somehow she was panicking inside.
She had to grit her teeth in order to restrain herself from making a sound.
And her face was completely flushtered.
While Jara carefully rubbed the medicine onto her legs, he paid attention to her face.
When he saw that her cheeks turned as red as two small apples, a smile subtly flash across his eyes.
In fact, when he touched her legs, it made him feel somewhat distracted.
After all, she was someone he liked. How many men could really restrain themselves at a time like this?
But he knew that for now, Emmeline had not really accepted him, so he wouldn't do anything inappropriate to arouse her hatred.
Soon, Jara were done rubbing the medicine for her.
At this moment, her swollen legs seemed to have eased up a little.
After tucking her leg under the blanket, he held another leg and asked, "Was this leg the one that was cramping just now?"
Startled, Emmeline nodded subconsciously.
Holding the ankle of that leg, once again, Jara began massaging her leg.
For a moment, Emmeline was silent. At first, she didn't want him to continue, but when she thought that he had already helped her earlier, she would be a little pretentious if she refused at this moment.
In the end, she decided to let him be.
Jara massaged her for quite a while until he made sure the cramping pain was relieved. Only then did he let go of her.
Immediately, Emmeline retracted both of her legs into the blanket.
At the moment, she was all curled up in the blanket, only revealing her round and small head and looking at him in an alert.
"Now that you've applied the medicine for me, you can leave now, right?"
Hearing that, Jara was surprised.
And he felt a little annoyed.
So, he sneered. "You're getting rid of the person who helped you? Aren't you a bit too heartless?"
Pursing her lips, Emmeline replied, "I didn't ask you to do it in the first place."
Indeed, she was telling the truth.
However, when Jara heard her words, he became even angrier.
At that moment, he stopped his footsteps and turned back. Bending over, he put his hands on both sides of her shoulders, staring at her coldly.
"It's my first time to see a woman as heartless as you. Believe it or not, I'll strip you clean right now. By then, I'll see if you dare to kick me out."
Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned.
To be honest, she wasn't scared at all.
She knew that although Jara would sometimes cross the boundaries, he was prideful, so it was impossible for him to force a woman.
Therefore, she was not afraid at all.
Not only was she not afraid of him, she even burst out in a peal of provocative laughter.
"Oh? Then you can give it a try. Let's see if I can kick you out before you strip me naked."
Hearing that, Jara was speechless.
He felt a little stuffy at heart as if tens of millions of arrows were shooting at him.
Why did he want to have a girlfriend who was good at martial arts?
Obviously, she was not as strong as him. If they really fought, she might not be a match for him too. However, when it came to close combat, he would never stand a chance to win.
Then, Jara closed his eyes and let out a sigh. Immediately after that, the corners of his lips were widely stretched as he smiled brightly at her.
"Of course. I was being rude just now. I'm going out now, so take your time to rest. I won't disturb you anymore."
When he finished his sentence, he really got up and sorted his breathing before striding out of the room.
Emmeline watched as he left, and for some reason, the corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily.
She then then took an hour nap.
In the afternoon, when Emmeline woke up, She didn't want to stay in her room, so she asked Yunne to push her out for a stroll in a wheelchair.
Behaving herself, she respected the doctor's advice and didn't try to walk again.
Of course, Yunne was very happy to help and immediately pushed her to the back garden.
Now, Kayla was no longer in the castle. The happiest person was actually not Emmeline, but Yunne.
Yunne seemed to dislike Kayla a lot and used to have a great opinion of her, but now that Kayla had left, she was incredibly happy.
In the end, they strolled to the lotus pond.
At this time of the season, the lotuses in the lotus pond had bloomed.
Gazing at the mesmerizing scenery of the lotus leaves and the pink-white lotus flowers, they were both in a very happy mood.
With a smile, Yunne asked, "Emmeline, shall I pick two flowers for you and put them in the vase in your room?"
With a nod, she replied, "Okay, sure."
Following that, Yunne went over to pick the lotus flowers.
That lotus was not far from the edge of the pond, so it was reachable.
After picking the lotus flowers, she ran back happily and showed them to Emmeline.
"Emmeline, look, they're so beautiful."
In response, Emmeline nodded.
She was not an artistic person. Hence, she wasn't against picking flowers.
In her opinion, flowers were meant for decoration. If she didn't pick flowers, did she need to pick the leaves instead?
Therefore, they left happily after picking flowers.
However, they did not notice that not far behind them, there was a pair of eyes secretly looking at them.
Emmeline was in a good mood after strolling around the garden.
When they went back to her room, she asked Yunned to put the flowers into the vase.
The two of them hung out in the room for a while until someone came over and said it was time for dinner. Then, they went out together.
At that moment, Jara was coming down from the stairs and noticed Emmeline's cold and indifferent gaze had become a little gentler.
Walking to her side, he asked, "Do your legs still hurt?"
It was fine when he didn't ask. As soon as he asked the question, it made Emmeline think of what happened between them today, and her face couldn't help but turn a little red.
Murmured, she then shook her head and answered. "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good."
Jara's expression remained the same as if he seemed to not notice anything.
