Chapter 95 His Sincerity
“What are you doing?” Jared asked in surprise, voice laced with confusion.
‘Now you know that I’m up to no good. Are you going to kick me out?‘ Julia sneered at him with questioning eyes. She slightly backed away from Jared.
“Ugh!” She groaned when she felt a twisted pain in her waist.
It was over now. Her body from the waist up was in so much pain that she couldn’t move or crawl, let alone run away. As soon as the box dropped from her hand, she tried catching it, the very reason why she also toppled on the floor, the cabinet‘ s pointy handle slashing the skin on her waist.
She used to be alone and independent. She might have managed to avoid trouble in the past, but this was her first mistake. She didn’t know how to act in such a situation.
She wouldn’t blame Jared if he’d hurt her or what. As she thought of that, her gaze fell on the floor as she expected the man’s outburst.
To her surprise, Jared picked her up and carried her in his arms. Her whole face crumpled in confusion at his reaction. What the hell is he doing?”
Jared then put her on the couch. However, the moment her butt touched the couch, the pain in her waist acted up once more. She quickly held it with her palm as if it would stop the pain. Jared noticed her predicament. “Did you hurt your waist?” he asked, brows arching.
For a moment, Julia was stunned. ‘Was he really concerned about me after what happened?‘ Beads of sweat formed on Julia’s forehead as she winced in pain. She couldn’t even respond to his question.
“Go and get some medicine!” Jared shrieked at Joseph who was at the door. “Hurry!”
“Okay,” Joseph replied before sprinting to the company‘ s infirmary.
Within three minutes, he returned with different bottles of medicines and cotton swabs. Jared signaled him to leave so he left.
As soon as Jacob left, Jared lifted Julia’s clothes, and the latter immediately pulled her clothes back down in embarrassment, hurting herself more in the
process.
“Fuck!” she shrieked in pain. “It fucking hurts so much!”
“Then, let me! Don’t move and just let me treat you!” Jared reprimanded. His heart ached upon seeing Julia‘ s pain.
“Just give it to me. I’ll do it myself,” Julia ordered him. She was still embarrassed at herself, for getting caught. It would be uncomfortable if she’d let him treat her.
“Why are you so stubborn? You can’t even move your arm. How are you going to apply it?” “I can do it. Just give those to me.”
Jared didn’t resist her command and gave her the disinfectant, swab, bandages, and ointment. Julia quickly unscrewed the disinfectant with her mouth and realized Jared was still looking at her. “Can you look away?”
He sighed in frustration before turning around, giving her the privacy she wanted so much. As soon as he looked away, she tried pulling up her clothes but struggled to do so, despite her exerting her utmost effort. The more she tried to twist her arm, the worse her waist felt.

She pursed her lips in pain, still determined not to ask for help. However, Jared who was aware of her struggle turned around and took the bottle from her.
“No. It’s okay. I’m okay.”
He lifted her clothes one more time, despite her fierce resistance, and poured a lot of disinfectant onto her huge wound.
“Oh, shit! Stop!”
He ignored her, grabbing the ointment. He put some on the cotton swab and applied it to her wound. Her entire trunk felt paralyzed, apart from the screaming pain in her waist. She felt like she wouldn’t be able to move for a while.
“It would still hurt. But we have to make sure it wouldn’t be contaminated.” A doctor wouldn’t be able to treat himself, especially if his wounds are on his waist. He would need to go to a hospital to get medical attention from other doctors.
He took some bandage and wrapped it around her waist. “Okay. Now, press the wound with hand. Can you
do that for me?”
She didn’t respond but she followed his instruction and applied pressure on her wound.
“Fuck,” she cussed in pain.
“Does it still hurt so much?” Jared peered intently into her
“Don’t worry. The pain is bearable.”
eyes.
Jared, however, didn’t believe her. Her eyes and voice still screamed in pain.

Meanwhile, the executives could hear the commotions from Jared’s office, despite it being soundproof. They either looked confused or worried but they couldn’t give their assistance if Jared wouldn’t tell them so.
When Joseph entered, their eyes lit up.
“We have to conclude the meeting here. Mr. Brooks has some urgent matter to attend to. We’ll set the schedule for our next conference. Thank you for your consideration,” Joseph announced. One of the executives grinned as if realizing what actually happened. An hour had already passed and Julia still wasn’t able to move.
“Does it still hurt?”
Julia looked at Jared seated beside her. She was partially leaning on his body. She was fortunate the man didn’t do something to her when she was already close to death.
“I’m fine now. I feel so much better. I didn’t expect you to know how to use medicines and such.”
“Of course. I should know since my company makes them. But I still have so much to learn,” Jared honestly replied.
“If I were still taking apprentices, I would have taken you in,” Julia remarked, smiling sweetly at him.
“If you are willing to teach me, then I would be more than willing to learn.”
Julia didn’t expect the man would take her words seriously. “Then why do you want to learn from me?”
Jared’s eyes darted to the wound on her waist. “So if you get hurt again in the future, I’ll know how to treat you.

Hearing him say those words, Julia’s heart started beating wildly. “Oh,” she said, turning away from him, eyes flickering. “Then, I’ll teach you. Starting tonight.”
“Alright, professor,” Jared tauntingly replied.
“Wait. What did you just call me?”
“Professor,” Jared repeated in a seductive tone, with that sly grin painted on his face.
