Novel Full 151 Surprisingly Gentle
Day Fourteen…
~~*****~~
Nathan’s words stunned everyone inside that room. Well, he was the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia so he could be brutal at times. Freezing someone inside the fridge was nothing compared to the torture he would do against his enemies.
“Cough! Cough!” Stephen cleared his throat, eyeing Nathan meaningfully. He met his gaze and he seemed to tell him– ‘Are you trying to make it obvious that you are a member of the mafia?’
“Haha!” Aiden let out a forced laugh and patted Nathan’s back. “He is just joking, Abi. Don’t listen to him.”
Abigail just blinked her eyes. She knew that Nathan was serious. His statement was not a joke. For a cold person like Nathan Spark, he was capable of doing that– freezing someone in a fridge!
But Abigail chose to play along with them, laughing awkwardly. She was still uncertain whether the three men noticed something unusual with the way she handled this situation.
‘Did they believe my words?’ Abigail darted her gaze among the three men who came for her rescue. ‘I didn’t expect the whole squad to come here together.’
Little did she know, Nathan’s men made quite a ruckus in the hotel. They didn’t allow anyone to leave and enter the hotel without the clearance of their Supreme Leader.
Nathan motioned his two bodyguards to get the man out of their sight. He didn’t know what he might do to him if he would continue to see his face.
“Are you going to hand him over to the police?” Abigail asked Nathan. She was reluctant to let that man go. She was not able to interrogate him.
“You have nothing to worry about. We will find the mastermind for this.” Nathan plainly said. He didn’t say anything about turning him over to the police. Abigail wondered if Nathan would ask his men to deal with him.
‘Hmm, this guy is in real trouble. The Devil is the one dealing with him.’ Abigail’s lips curled up into a satisfied grin. ‘Let’s see how capable Nathan is. Will he be able to make this man confess right away?’
When Abigail glanced at Nathan, she saw some blood stain on his patient gown. “Nate! I think your stitches opened up! You’re bleeding!”
‘Who wouldn’t bleed? Nathan just applied force by kicking the door and lifting Abigail a while ago,’ Stephen thought to himself, shaking his head helplessly.
On the other hand, Abigail subconsciously looked down at her side. She didn’t feel any pain although Nathan was bleeding. Did it mean the soul-binding spell had been lifted off? She smiled at that thought.
“Why are you happy that I’m bleeding?” Nathan’s face contorted and he lifted his eyebrow as he asked her. He saw Abigail’s smile.
Abigail immediately bit her lower lip, looking at him with her innocent eyes. “Huh? Of course not. I’m not happy because you are bleeding.” She defended herself.
“Then why did you smile?”
‘Damn! He caught me.’ Abigail cursed inwardly.
“Because… you are here despite your injury. You were supposed to be in the hospital. But you came here!” Abigail quickly came up with a good answer, making Nathan speechless.
“C’mon guys! Stop flirting! This is not the time for a lovey-dovey moment. We should bring Nathan back to the hospital before his wound gets infected.” Aiden butted in, interrupting the two.
Both Nathan and Abigail glared at Aiden. Fortunately, Stephen also stepped in to support Aiden’s remarks.
“Aiden is right. You should go back to the hospital, Nate. Aiden can come with you. I will go and talk to the hotel manager about this incident. And you… Abi… stay in my hotel room for now.” Stephen suggested. Abigail’s room was in a chaotic state right now. Staying in the same room where she got attacked was not a good idea.
“In your room?” Abigail asked Stephen again.
“Yes. I will also assign some bodyguards in our room for your protection.”
‘Our Room?!’ Nathan didn’t like the sound of those words. ‘Stephen’s and Abigail’s room?’
“No. She is staying in my room. It’s more comfortable than your suite.” Nathan blurted out, grabbing Abigail’s hand and pulling her closer to him.
Aiden and Abigail just darted their gaze back and forth between Nathan and Stephen. Were they arguing?
“Sigh. Fine. She can use your room.” Stephen finally gave up. He didn’t want to argue anymore with Nathan.
‘Eh? How could they decide like that without even consulting me?!’ Abigail looked at both men with disbelief.
‘Sigh. Whatever! As long as they don’t suspect me, then I’m good!’ She heaved a sigh of relief.
Stephen headed out first to meet the hotel manager. While Aiden and Nathan accompanied Abigail going to Nathan’s room.
Abigail was about to say goodbye to the two men and entered the room when Nathan suddenly stopped her.
“Come with me to the hospital to treat your wound.” Nathan pointed out her cut.
“I’m fine. I know how to clean and stitch my own wound. It’s not a deep cut. Only a grazed wound,” she lied.
“Liar. The blood on the floor… it’s yours. There was no way it was only a grazed wound.”
Aiden already crumpled his face. He could no longer take it. He felt like he was listening to a couple arguing!
“I’m going down first!” Aiden mumbled, turning around to leave.
Nathan was glad that the third wheel already left. He opened the door and quickly pulled Abigail inside.
“Hey! What are you doing?” Abigail asked him in confusion.
“I’m going to check your wound… and you are going to treat mine. You said you are good at stitching and cleaning wounds. I don’t want to go back to the hospital. It’s too bothersome!”
Abigail: “…”
‘Is he kidding me?’ Abigail was confused with Nathan’s strange behavior. Why was he acting like this?
Nathan didn’t give her the chance to refuse. He already picked up the first aid kit in the cabinet. Then he started to remove his coat and his upper shirt.
Abigail could only watch him in awestruck. She was seeing those amazing buns on his abdomen again.
‘Damn! This devil is so hot, sexy, and gorgeous!’ Her eyes roamed around his mouth-watering physique.
“Come, clean my wound and stitch it again,” Nathan plainly said, inviting her to come over.
Abigail subconsciously obeyed his command as she approached him. She sat down next to him and washed her hands with alcohol. She wore some gloves and started to clean and stitch Nathan’s bleeding wound.
Nathan was amazed. Abigail didn’t lie. She truly knew how to treat his wound. When she was done, it was Nathan’s turn to tend her cut.
Nathan knew it. Abigail was right-handed so there was no way she could stitch the cut in her right arm. The two of them were very silent. Nathan was so focused on stitching her cut.
Abigail just watched him with complicated feelings. She couldn’t understand why Nathan was surprisingly gentle tonight. He was taking care of her.
‘What had gotten into him?’
Before she knew it, Nathan was done treating her wound. “Thank you for this. Are you leaving now?” Abigail asked him as Nathan kept the first aid kit.
“Why should I leave? This is my room,” Nathan responded.
“Eh? Where are you going to sleep? And how about me? I thought I will be staying here in your room tonight?”
“Yes. You will. And I will stay here too. Is there a problem with that?”
“But…” Abigail wanted to oppose that idea.
“I thought you wanted me to become your bodyguard? I will be your bodyguard tonight. So I’m going to stay here… with you.” There was a gleam in his blue eyes when he said those words.
Abigail: “…”
