Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Not So Capable

“Yuliana!” Kathryn immediately released the wine bottle, wanting to check on Yuliana’s injury. However, someone pushed her aside before she could do it, and a tall figure shrouded Yuliana.

The shards of the wine bottle had been left on the table when Kathryn broke it earlier.

When Yuliana supported herself with her hand, her palm touched the part where the fragments were most centralized. Many big and small shards had pricked into her flesh, and the bright red blood rushed out and dripped onto the ground.

The onlookers surrounding them gasped. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Yuliana’s brain went blank due to the pain, and the corners of her eyes were wet. She did not dare to touch her palm at all.

A figure quickly rushed toward Yuliana, held her wrist, and said, “I’ll bring you to clean up the wound.” Without giving her a chance to resist, the person grabbed her wrist and walked her out of the private room.

“Yuliana!” Kathryn wanted to chase after Yuliana, but Craig blocked her path.

“Ms. Smith, I think it’s better that you don’t follow them,” Craig kindly reminded Kathryn.

Kathryn had seen the man standing before her several times and knew his identity from Yuliana. However, both parties did not have any interaction previously not even a conversation or two.

“It’s none of your business. Get lost!” Kathryn’s anger had not yet subsided, so her tone was furious at that moment. She assumed Craig was not a good person since he was friends with Christopher and Raymond. Craig raised his eyebrows and made way for Kathryn.

However, Christopher and Yuliana had long disappeared when Kathryn came out and chased after them. Kathryn took out her phone and called Yuliana. There was no signal when she dialed the first time. The second call went through, but it was soon hung up. When she called again, the latter’s phone was already turned off.

Kathryn was enraged. She returned to the private room and found Craig drinking with a woman at the bar. She said to him with an arrogant and bossy tone, “Call Christopher!”

Craig glanced at Yuliana but ignored her and continued drinking with the woman beside him.

Kathryn grabbed the wine glass from Craig’s hand. “Did you hear me? Call Christopher!”

Craig looked Yuliana in the eyes, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he apologized to the woman beside him. “Sorry. I would like to talk to this lady here alone.”

The woman was very considerate. She smiled and walked away with the wine glass.

“Ms. Smith, didn’t your parents and teachers teach you to be polite when talking to others?” Craig looked at her with a faint smile and continued, “Shouldn’t you say ‘please’ when asking for someone’s help?”

Kathryn laughed and replied, “Politeness also depends on who I’m talking to. I don’t think it’s necessary to be polite to people like Christopher and Raymond-jackals from the same lair.”

Craig giggled, and one side of his canine tooth was visible. He looked at Kathryn with a great interest for a moment, took back the wine glass from her hand, drank from it, and commented, “If that’s the case, Ms. Smith, you better call Chris yourself!”

Kathryn gritted her teeth and looked at Craig. If she had Christopher’s phone number, she would not have needed to ask for Craig’s help.

Karthyn put up with it and tried to improve her attitude, but her voice was still a little stiff. “Regardless, Yuliana is also your boss. You won’t even care about the safety of your boss?”

“It’s already after work hours. Besides, the boss’ safety has nothing to do with me. She’s an adult. If something does happen to her, you should call the police and not me.” Craig’s words were closely reasoned and well-argued, making Kathryn unable to retort.

Craig smiled and continued. “If we really want to discuss this issue… Aren’t you the one who created this mess tonight, Ms. Smith?”

Kathryn was stunned. She pursed her lips and said nothing. That was the reason why Kathryn felt more guilty and anxious.

In fact, Kathryn had also inquired about Christopher’s affairs after he was released from prison. It was said that Christopher had never contacted Layla and Joyce at all after he was released from jail. Instead, he had hung out with some indecent people and established an esports club.

For the past few years, Kathryn had heard rumors about Christopher’s matters in prison. Therefore, she knew earlier that Christopher had been released from jail, but she had never mentioned it to Yuliana. She did not want Yuliana to have anything to do with Christopher anymore.

Upon seeing that Kathryn had lowered her head and her face looked remorseful, Craig put down the wine glass and gently knocked on the glass body with his finger. He then said, “Ms. Livingstone will be fine. If you’re worried, Ms. Smith, wait here for a moment.”

Kathryn was startled again. She looked up and glanced at Craig. She saw him grin, get up, and walk to the side of the woman who was with him earlier.

On the other side, after Yuliana was dragged out of the private room by Christopher, they took the elevator and went to the top floor. As soon as she got out of the elevator, her phone rang.

However, before Yuliana could answer the phone, Christopher grabbed it, hung it up, and turned it off in one go.

Christopher warned her coldly, “If you don’t want your hands to be impaired, don’t move.” He grabbed Yuliana’s wrist while pressing his fingerprints on the scanner. The door in front of him opened right away.

“Sit down. Don’t move your hands. I’ll get the first aid kit.” After saying that, Christopher let go of Yuliana’s hand and walked to the storage rack on the other side.

Yuliana looked around. The place was a suite, integrating office and accommodation, occupying almost the whole top floor, with entertainment and fitness areas inside. She did not know that there was a hidden spot on the top floor of the Prestige Club. Moreover, it was obvious that there were traces of life there, so there should be people living there for the long term.

Yuliana looked around for a moment, then went to the couch on the side and sat down. Even though the tissue was slightly wrapped around her hand, blood still oozed out. She looked a little absentminded.

Christopher brought the first aid kit and sat down beside Yuliana. Then, he took out the necessary medicine and tools from the first aid kit.

“I’ll clean the blood on your hand first. Then, see if there’re any broken glass fragments stuck in it. If there are fragments, they still need to be taken out. It’ll hurt.” Christopher’s voice was calm and steady.

Yuliana replied, “I can do it myself.”

Christopher paused and said, “Okay. You can do it yourself.” He put the saline, cotton swabs, tweezers, disinfectant, and trauma medicine in front of Yuliana.

Yuliana was in a trance, but she soon returned to normal. She untied the tissue wrapped around her hand first. Some of it had already dried and stuck to her palm. When it was torn open, the movement affected the wound and caused stinging pain, which was not too unbearable.

However, when Yuliana rinsed her wound with saline and took out the glass fragments from her flesh with tweezers, she took a deep breath as soon as she touched it. It was much more painful than when the glass. fragments had pierced her palm. She held the tweezers and did not dare to do it.

Christopher sat at the side and remained calm and composed while looking at Yuliana without saying anything.

Yuliana really had no courage to do it. She struggled for some time and said lightly, “I think I should go to the hospital and let the doctor handle this for me.”

“I thought you were so capable!” Christopher snorted and grabbed the tweezers from Yuliana’s hand. He held her wrist and pressed it onto his knee.
