Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 216

Nicholas took in her reaction.

His thin lips curled into a slight smile, and his movements became even more gentle.

Whether it was intentional or not, as he applied the antiseptic, the man's long, slender fingers would occasionally brush against hers, sending a jolt of heat through her.

It was a simple matter of cleaning the wound, applying ointment, and putting on a bandage, something that should have taken only three to five minutes.

But to Serena, it felt...

As if time was crawling by.

The blush that had started at her ears had now spread across her entire face.

"All done." The man withdrew his hand at just the right moment and put away the medical supplies. "This is all we can do for now. I'll bring you some more medicine tomorrow."

Serena pulled her hand back. "You don't have to. I'm a doctor myself."

She could prepare any medicine she needed and treat it herself.

"You're the patient. Be good and listen," Nicholas said, his gaze falling on the back of her hand. "If you aggravate the injury, your hand will swell up, and you'll have a hard time explaining it to your family."

Serena considered it and didn't refuse again.

Nicholas started the car and began driving toward the Lancaster estate. "By the way," he said, "my grandfather wants to see you."

Serena was looking down, staring at the perfectly treated wound on the back of her hand.

The bandage on her hand was pink and adorned with a cartoon Hello Kitty.

This man... actually had a taste for this kind of style?

Quite a unique preference.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard what Nicholas said.

Her long, dark lashes fluttered up as her clear eyes met his sharp profile.

She was confused.

His grandfather?

Wants to see her?

"You're the reason Brianna was able to come back from death's door and recover so well, able to live like a normal person," Nicholas explained in his low, magnetic voice. "Grandfather wants to thank his granddaughter's savior in person."
