Chapter 173 The Helicopter Is Ready
Is he really the same Mr. Whitethorn I hold in such high esteem? He’s actually kneeling before a woman as if he’s surrendering at her feet!
Nathan even had this odd impression that any moment now, Julius would lean down and plant a kiss on the top of the woman’s foot.
“Ah, Mr. Lamorde!” Quinn turned to look at Nathan with an awkward expression. “I accidentally spilled some coffee on my shoes earlier, so…”
Nathan quickly hid his shock and put on an understanding face.
Quinn tried to pull her foot back, but Julius was still holding it firmly.
“I’m fine,” Quinn assured Julius.
“Your foot is still a bit red,” Julius said, promptly scooping up Quinn in his arms.
Both Quinn and Nathan were dumbfounded.
Inside the office, there was a small bathroom separated by a wall. Nathan watched as Julius carried Quinn over to the sink, turned on the faucet, and rinsed her foot with cold water.
Meanwhile, the executives following Nathan saw that he hadn’t come back out after entering the office. So they gently pushed open the door and asked, “Mr. Lamorde, is Mr. Whitethorn in there?”
“Yes, but…” Nathan replied, unsure of what to say.
The executives suddenly became alert. Their minds went back to the time when Julius was in danger in the underground parking lot. They wondered if something had happened again.
One executive quickly stepped into the room, pushing the door open. The others followed behind.
What they saw left them speechless.
The dignified Julius was actually washing Quinn’s foot.
Seeing everyone pour into the room, Quinn felt her headache get worse. “All right, I’m really okay now!”
She was worried that more people might show up just to gawk.
Julius looked at her right foot. The redness had faded under the cold water. Finally, he stopped, took out a handkerchief, and gently dried her foot. Then he helped her put on a spare pair of shoes from the office.
Nathan and the executives were completely stunned. Their feelings couldn’t be described with a word like “surprised.”
“You guys must be having a meeting, right? I’ll step out then.” Quinn was about to leave when Julius suddenly held her back.
“You can stay here.”
“I’d rather sit outside for a while,” Quinn insisted. The way everyone was staring at her made her feel awkward. The seating area outside the office sounded much better.

After a moment of hesitation, Julius finally said, “All right then.”
Then he picked up two boxes of medicine from his desk, glanced at his watch, and said, “In seven minutes, take your medicine. The two pills need to be taken five minutes apart.”
“Thank you,” Quinn replied as she took the water and got ready to take her pills.
