A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1514 Retreat After Completing The Task

Darren frowned a little bit and brought Bonnie's hands near his lips. After that, he gently blew on her wound and then asked in a low, concerned tone, "Does it still hurt?"

His simple and kind gesture made Bonnie's heart skip a beat. She was so flustered that her cheeks turned to a rosy red color. After a few seconds, she replied in a soft voice, "Don't worry, it's just a scald. I'm perfectly fine."

Unfortunately, Bonnie's words went through Darren's one ear and out from the other. He just glanced at her and said, "Stay here. I'll be back in a minute."

Before Bonnie could even respond, the man in front of her was already turning around and walking away.

She was left there frozen in place and in a daze. The only thing she could do was watch Darren's back while he headed upstairs.

After a while, he returned downstairs with a first aid kit in his hand. He placed the box down on a nearby table and took out a special ointment to treat burns.

After that, Darren somewhat forced Bonnie to sit down on the sofa. She didn't want any treatment, but her wrist was already in Darren's inescapable grasp. Shortly after, the man lowered his head and carefully applied the ointment on her wound with a cotton swab.

The worried expression on Darren's face made Bonnie's heart beat even faster than before.

After a few seconds, a cold sensation started to spread all over her hand. The pain she had felt earlier was almost entirely gone. If it weren't for the glaring burn mark, she wouldn't even remember the accident. On the other hand, Darren still had an extremely concerned look on his face, even though Bonnie was completely fine.

After Darren was finally finished treating her wound, Bonnie withdrew her hand from his grasp. Then, she said, "The food is getting cold. I'll go to the kitchen to bring it out, so we can eat."

Before she could get up from the sofa and head to the kitchen, Darren interrupted her. "Just stay there. I'll go and bring the food to the table."

Bonnie couldn't believe what she had just heard. She was in a confused daze. Meanwhile, Darren had a serious expression on his face and said, "From now on, you're not allowed to cook ever again."

Upon noticing Darren's overwhelming care for her, Bonnie playfully winked and smiled at him. Then, she replied, "I can't agree with that. I like cooking for you nowadays."

Darren didn't seem affected by her words and kept a stoic expression on his face. The only thing that changed about him was his eyes. They were now as sharp as a knife.

"Just be a good girl and listen."

His low, manly voice that was full of concern made it almost impossible for any woman to disagree with him.
