Chapter 39

“Why are you here?” Even though she asked, Lily was quite pleased to see Alexander at that moment.

Alexander glanced at Lily, thoughtfully turned down the air conditioner in the back console, took a shawl, and put it around her. “Did you get into trouble lately?” By his estimation, Lily should have exited the building long ago. Alexander almost wanted to get out of the car to check on her himself. “It‘s no big deal.” Lily gestured with her fingers, indicating no problem, but after raising her hand, she pulled her injury and involuntarily hissed. Hearing her gasp, Alexander frowned and pulled Lily closer. “Are you hurt?” His expression was grim, his tone even grimmer. The fact that he was pissed showed on his face. Lily quickly explained, “N–No, I just haven‘t stretched my muscles for a long time. I feel a little sore, that‘s all.” Lily was afraid Alexander would not believe her, so she turned to face him, saying, “If you don‘t believe me, just look. Where am I injured?”

Alexander stared at Lily and abruptly reached out to gently pinch her cheeks with his thumb and index finger. He lifted her chin slightly and carefully examined her up and down, left and right. His eyes went from her neck to her collarbone and her arms. Lily started blushing. She only casually suggested that he check her, yet Alexander examined her so thoroughly, relieving the grievances in Lily‘s heart.
