Chapter 30 What Do You Want?
Harper bolted to Antonio's study, slammed the door open, and yelled, "Luna fell and got hurt!"
Antonio's face went pale. Seeing Harper's freaked-out look, he asked, "Where is she?"
"She's in my bathroom. Hurry!"
Without a second thought, Antonio dashed out.
Harper watched him go, nodding to herself. 'Yep, Antonio really cares about Sarah. Antonio, you better not blow this chance!'
In the bathroom, water was everywhere, and Sarah, soaking wet, was struggling to get out of the tub.
Gritting her teeth through the pain in her ankle, she grabbed the edge of the tub, trying to stand, but slipped again. She was drenched, her pink underwear showing through.
When Antonio burst in, his eyes widened, his throat tightened, and his breathing got heavy.
Sarah heard the noise and looked over, her eyes going wide. Why was it him?!
She was still in her maid outfit, now completely soaked.
Sarah snatched a towel from the floor to cover herself, but it only covered her upper body, leaving her legs exposed. She was both pissed and embarrassed, and Antonio just kept staring. "You... you get out!"
Antonio snapped out of it. Instead of leaving, he walked in and turned off the water. "Didn't you call for help?"
Seeing him come closer, Sarah felt like she was facing a wild animal and backed away. "I didn't call you. I... I don't need help!"
Antonio stopped and looked down at her. "Oh? Then get up by yourself."
Sarah was fuming but, as a servant now, she couldn't retort.
She bit her lip and tried to stand up by holding onto the tub again.
Antonio watched her, noticing her furrowed brow and struggling expression, wondering how he never realized just how stubborn she was.
He stepped forward and scooped her up in his arms.
Sarah yelled, "What are you doing? Put me down!"
"Don't move!" Antonio growled. Ignoring her protests, he carried her to his room.
Seeing where they were headed, Sarah panicked. "What are you gonna do?"
Antonio didn't answer. He walked in and laid her on the bed.
Freed from his arms, Sarah tried to get up, but her damn leg hurt too much!
Despite her efforts, she couldn't get off the bed. Antonio watched her struggle and chuckled. "If you keep moving, you'll be fully exposed."
Hearing this, Sarah quickly grabbed her skirt and glared at Antonio. "Mr. Valencia, what the hell do you want?"
Antonio smirked and said, "What do I want? I should be asking you. What's your game, tempting me over and over?"
Sarah was livid. Antonio must be out of his mind. Who was tempting who here?
Antonio was not only a jerk but also so damn full of himself!
Antonio's eyes darkened as he looked at Sarah. He knew she didn't want to admit her feelings, but she must still have a thing for him. She couldn't let go, which was why she came back and tried to get close to him.
Finally, Antonio sighed and grabbed the first aid kit.
He sat by the bed and reached for Sarah's injured ankle. Sarah instinctively pulled back. "I can do it myself, no need to trouble Mr. Valencia."
But Antonio grabbed her leg and placed it on his lap. Sarah, of course, resisted, but then Antonio coldly said, "If you struggle again, I'll really think you're trying to seduce me."
"What!" Sarah was shocked!
Antonio glanced at her, his eyes filled with desire. "You're dressed like that, all wet, squirming on my bed, and you're telling me you're not trying to tempt me?"
Seeing the desire in his eyes, Sarah's heart skipped a beat.
She had been with him long enough to know what that look meant, so she decided to endure for now.
Seeing Sarah calm down, Antonio smiled and continued applying the medicine.
Outside the door, Harper peeked through the crack and saw this scene. She covered her mouth and giggled. "Antonio, well done! Looks like there's hope this time!"
In the room, Sarah was stiff, biting her lip, while Antonio focused on applying the medicine. His warm hands gently massaged her swollen ankle, and the ointment started to heat up, spreading warmth throughout her body.
Her skin was smooth, and Antonio enjoyed the feel, massaging a bit longer.
For a moment, the room's temperature rose, and they were both silent.
After a long while, Antonio remembered something, a helpless yet indulgent smile appearing on his lips. "Why are you always like this, making me worry?"
Hearing this, Sarah was momentarily lost in thought.
In the past, she often accidentally fell and got hurt, and it was always Antonio who applied the medicine for her.
Just like now, they were so close. Back then, she felt warm and happy.
Now...
It was kind of laughable.
Lost in her emotions, Sarah didn't respond. Antonio looked up at her, seeing her lost in thought. His eyes darkened as he looked at her wet dress.
Now was the perfect time. As long as he confirmed the mole on her inner thigh, she would have nothing to say!
Taking advantage of her distraction, he suddenly lifted Sarah's skirt.
