Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 165 Fatal Tenderness

Three minutes later, Nancy was surprised to see Nicholas standing outside when she opened the door. “What are you doing here?”

“Didn’t you hurt your leg?” Nicholas asked.

Initially, he was angry that she was out with Christian, but when he learned that she had injured her leg, all his anger disappeared. He simply wanted to see her as soon as possible to check on her injury.

Suddenly, Nancy was swept off her feet as Nicholas picked her up and carried her to the couch. In that moment, she realized that he knew her place better than his own. His sudden display of tenderness and consideration completely surprised her.

“Where did you hurt yourself? Let me see it.” Crouching down, he extended his hand to remove her bedroom slippers and examine her injury.

Hastily, Nancy pulled her legs back and said in embarrassment, “It’s alright. It just hurt a little when I twisted it, and I’ve already checked it. It’s not very serious.”

“What do you mean it’s not serious?” He insisted, grabbing her feet with a strong grip. Unable to move, Nancy could only let him remove her bedroom slippers.

Then, he removed her sock, revealing the injury on her ankle.

Instantly, his face fell, and his tone became more serious. “It’s discolored and swollen. How can you say it’s not serious?”

“I applied some medication earlier. It should be fine tomorrow morning once the swelling goes down.” she mumbled.

“It’s swollen to the size of a golf ball. Do you really think it will go down overnight?” he asked.
