Chapter 140

“It’s just that I saw the scar on your back and felt like touching it to see how it felt. Don’t think any more than that.”

Upon hearing that, Tessa looked at him suspiciously. Judging from his righteous and dignified appearance, Nicholas doesn’t seem to be such a man. There’s no flaw in his speech, and he doesn’t look guilty either. Perhaps, it was me who misunderstood him.

But, what was he doing though, touching my scar? He’s acting strange indeed.

With an impatient tone, Nicholas urged, “Do you still wish to apply the medicine? If you do, turn around.”

As she could not think of a possible reason for Nicholas’ action earlier, Tessa was slightly dispirited. Since he has said so, I think Nicholas will be more mindful so as to not simply touch me again.

Hesitantly, Tessa spun around and allowed Nicholas to continue tending to her wounds.

Though Nicholas did test Tessa once or twice, it did not bring any substantial results at all. Instead, the answers confused him even more.
