My Mute Bride

Chapter 54 Get a Divorce

“Keep your injury away from water, or it might get infected.”

Thank you, Doctor Peters.

“Just drop the formalities around me.” While packing the first aid kit, he took a look at the ice pack at the side. “Don’t use that anymore. An ice pack is good for reducing swelling, but you have external injuries as well.”

She nodded obediently.

From the start, she had only been using the ice pack as a pain-killing measure. After putting on the cooling medical ointment, her burning skin felt more relieved. Since the pain was reduced, she didn’t need the ice pack anymore.

“By the way, I haven’t asked you this. How did you get injured?”

She shook her head. It’s nothing. I was just careless.

As it was already late, but Julian was still hanging around, she dared not keep him around for long, even though he was technically helping Justin out.

When Julian noticed Rachel glancing at her watch, he picked up the hint and knew that she wanted him to leave. Forcing a smile, he said to her, “You should get some rest for now. I’m leaving.”

She nodded at him.

On his way back to his room, he walked past Justin’s study. Be it intentional or unintentional, the room to Justin’s study was kept slightly ajar. In it, Justin was seated at the study table and pouring over documents as usual.

Julian went up and knocked lightly on the door. Only when Justin looked up did Julian say, “Justin, Rae’s injury isn’t serious. You don’t have to worry too much about it.”

“Thanks.” Justin stared at him and corrected, “You should call her Rachel.”

Julian tightened his grip on the first aid kit and replied with a serious expression, “Justin, instead of finding fault with me, why don’t you show her more care?”

“That’s between me and her. None of your business.”

Then, he turned his gaze to the documents in his hands and added, “Shut the door when you leave.”

Hearing that, Julian had his eyes darkened, and soon came the sound of the door closing.
