My Sleeping Beauty Husband

Chapter 267

Chapter 267 An Old Friend

Cynthia looked very pretty and had exquisite features. Wearing a blazer, she

looked capable and gentle. She concentrated on dealing with the wound, which

made her even more appealing.

Her treatment was very professional like a real doctor. She quickly helped him

remove the fabric from the wound, disinfected the wound, and sprinkled

inflammation–relieving medicine. Then she wrapped it up with a medical

bandage and tied a bowknot skillfully.

After finishing everything, Cynthia had sweat on her forehead. She wiped off it NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

and smiled at the man on the ground. “I briefly dressed the wound. Although it

can temporarily stop the bleeding, you should go to a hospital to re–bandage

the medicine and get a tetanus shot.”

When the man saw her looking over, he quickly averted his eyes and was afraid

to meet Cynthia’s eyes. “Okay, thank you.”

“It was nothing. It’s my duty to save people…” When she finished speaking, her

voice froze. She suddenly realized she was no longer a doctor.

The man noticed she was downcast. He frowned and changed the subject. “My

name is Jakson. How about you? When I recover, I will express my gratitude to

you!”

“Jakson?!” Cynthia exclaimed, which also shocked him.

“Yes. Anything wrong with that?” Jakson was a little embarrassed. He did have a

bad reputation in society, but most people didn’t know him. Did Cynthia hear his

name before?

Cynthia had been dealing with the wound and hadn’t noticed what he looked

like. She moved the flashlight up and looked at the man carefully with the faint

light.

Due to excessive blood loss, his face was a little pale, but he was very

handsome. He had chiseled features and a pair of almond eyes. His eyes were

piercing which made people afraid to look straight at them. His nose was

prominent and his lips were thin.

He was quite good–looking but there was a ruthlessness in his face. Even if he

was seriously injured, that sternness was still frightening.

“So you are Jakson!” Surprise flashed in Cynthia’s eyes. “I’m Cynthia, Alston’s

wife. He mentioned you before.”

When Cynthia’s mother was hospitalized, Alex regretted it. So Alston asked

Jakson to teach Alex a lesson. He mentioned this to Cynthia later and showed

her Jakson’s photo.

But at the time, Alston said that Jakson rose up from the bottom. He was

scheming and ruthless. He even warned her not to get too close to Jakson if

she met him someday.

Cynthia looked at Jakson’s perfectly bandaged wound with fear and wondered if

she got too close to Jakson.

When Jakson heard her name, he was stunned. The world was so small. The

person who saved him was Alston’s wife!

He and Alston had a history but they were just nodding acquaintances. He knew

Alston had a wife who loved him very much, but he had never seen what his

wife looked like and had never paid attention to his wife’s name.

He didn’t expect his wife would be the woman in front of him.

Jakson frowned and pursed his thin lips tightly. He couldn’t tell what his feeling

now was. He felt sour and bitter, which was very strange and made him

uncomfortable.

She was already married. Jakson felt a sense of loss when realizing this.

Seeing Cynthia looking over, he quickly restrained the emotion in her eyes. He

said, “What a coincidence. This is unexpected.”

Cynthia nodded. “When I was in the alley, I was hesitating and was afraid it

might be risky. Fortunately, I came in. Otherwise, you will lie here all night and

the wound will deteriorate. If you lose too much blood…”

When she said this, she realized the next words might be inappropriate, so she

hurriedly stopped. “Sorry, I was a doctor before. I used to…”

“It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be so cautious. Alston and I… We… we

know each other very well!” He felt a little guilty when he said the last words.

He and Alston didn’t know each other and they were even wary of each other.

“But

you should stop doing this kind of thing in the future. It’s getting late. There are

many unknown dangers in dark alleys. Women are particularly vulnerable.”

Jakson said seriously.

Cynthia nodded hurriedly. “Right. It’s dangerous. I won’t be so impulsive

anymore.”

As usual, she wouldn’t care about these things in a dark place at night. She had

a heavy heart today. The sound of gasping inside made she think of Alston.

When she thought of Alston being injured and lying in a corner with no one

saving him, she would feel uncomfortable and throbbing in pain. That was why

she walked into this alley.

Jakson was still lying on the ground. His complexion had recovered a lot.

Looking at his face, Cynthia could tell he exercised regularly. He had a sturdy

body, wide shoulders, a narrow waist, and six–pack abs. As he had a good

immune system, his wound got better than before.

Cynthia had checked the wound. Since it was wrapped, it wouldn’t worsen if he

moved his body.

“It’s too cold on the ground. Let me help you up. Where are you living? I’ll send

you home.”

Cynthia squatted down beside him and asked in a low voice.

Jakson looked at her almond eyes and pursed his lips in disapproval. He just

told her not to take risks and now she proposed to send a stranger home. “Does

she really know what a stranger means?”

Jakson thought in his mind but didn’t say it. He wanted to get close to Cynthia

further. Although he knew she was Alston’s wife, her warmth made people want

to get closer.

He had longed for this kind of warmth for twenty–eight years, but he had never

encountered it before.

“I live in the front district. If it’s convenient, could you help me? I’m afraid I can’t

walk very far.” Jakson pointed to the wound on his abdomen.

The front district?

Cynthia thought about the location. It was a high–grade residential district,

which was on the way back to her family. So she decided to send him home.

“No problem. I’ll help you. Be careful.”

As she spoke, she supported Jakson to stand up. His leg was not injured but he

needed to exert the strength in his abdomen when standing up. So he leaned

on Cynthia’s shoulder.

Jakson looked at her slender shoulders and squinted his eyes. When he put his

arm on her, her shoulder trembled and he could feel her shoulder was tense

and stiff. A smile flashed in his eyes, which made him very charming.

It was the first time Cynthia was so close to a strange man. Jakson was very

tall. Cynthia could only reach his shoulders, which was a perfect height to hold

Jakson.

Jakson acted very well. Since he was really injured, almost half of his body was

leaning on Cynthia. His bulk enveloped her. He could even hear her breath.

This feeling aroused Cynthia’s goosebumps all over. She felt uncomfortable, but

she had promised to send him home before. She couldn’t break her promise on

the way.

Jakson was tall, but Cynthia felt he was not heavy. She didn’t know although

Jakson seemed to be leaning on her with most of his body, he was walking by

his own strength and didn’t press on her.

The two walked silently for a while. The alley was about 1,500 feet away from

his living place. It might be a little late. They didn’t see anyone along the way.

After a while, they arrived at the gate. As the residence was upscale, the gate

was on guard for the whole day.

Seeing them coming, the guard looked over. He seemed to know Jakson and

his eyes were full of respect. When he saw the wound on his abdomen, his

expression froze. He was about to run over when he suddenly felt Jakson’s cold

gaze. He instantly understood and stood up straight at the door, pretending not

to see them.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the two of them passed by with the smell of

blood. He looked at the petite figure under Jakson’s arm and clicked his tongue.

He didn’t expect such a ruthless person to have a scheming side.

It seemed Jakson was obsessed with this woman very much.

Cynthia sent Jakson to his home, put him on the sofa, and put the medicine bag

on the table.

His house was very big and empty. The room was gray, which looked very

depressing and cold. Cynthia felt extremely uncomfortable. Besides, there were

only two of them. It was not proper to stay longer, so she wanted to leave.

“The medicines are all in the bag. There are oral anti–inflammatory drugs in

them. Take two of them later. I don’t know why you don’t want to go to the

hospital, but you’d better re–bandage and change the medicine tomorrow. It’s

getting late. I gotta go.”

When Cynthia was about to leave, the corner of her clothes was grabbed by his

big hand with sharp knuckles. She lowered her head and met Jakson’s pitiful

eyes.
