MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 94 Continue

Claire long lashes trembled slightly and when isaac noticed that her hands were anxiously clenched into tight fists, he could not help frowning. He reached out to lift her right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and pried open her clenched fist.

“Sister, you don’t have to be so nervous. Clenching your hand like this will only make it harder for the wound to heal,” he said, noticing that blood had already seeped through the bandage around her palm.

It appeared that her wound had been torn open when she had clenched it into a fist just then.
Isaac  pressed the button to call for the nurse.

The nurse arrived shortly and when she heard of the situation, she hurriedly removed the bandages from claire right hand. The wound on claire palm which had been caused by the mirror shard during the previous night’s incident was bleeding incessantly.

The nurse applied some medicine on the wound to stop the bleeding.

Claire silently studied the nurse’s actions from start to finish. Her expression did not change even when she saw the nasty wound on her palm.

Only when the nurse was rebandaging claire right hand with gauze did she unwittingly frown at the pain, but she did not cry out loud.

“Let me do it. Get out isaac ordered the nurse.

The nurse bowed out of the room respectfully. Isaac took the gauze and bandaged claire right hand in a very practiced manner. His movements were so gentle and careful that she could barely feel any pain in her hand.

When he was done bandaging, he put down the gauze. “Try to use your right hand as little as possible for the next few days. Don’t clench your hand into a fist like you did just now. How much more blood do you want to lose?”

She studied the dressing that he had done and noticed that the knot was tied very prettily. “You seem to be very practiced in bandaging wounds.”

Shadows flashed through his eyes rapidly. “I learned some bandaging skills when I was young,” he said, then thought to himself, “Back then, Dad was running around looking for Mom, and sometimes when he noticed someone with a similar silhouette, he would rush forward and stop them. He got beaten up a lot because of that.

“And I always helped Dad dress his wounds. I got pretty skilled at it after a long enough time.

“Ever since Dad died, I haven’t bandaged someone like this.

She is the only one.”

“Next time, don’t hold shards of mirror in your hand. You were lucky this time to not have damaged your nerves. If you had,

your hand would be crippled isaac said.

Claire bit her lip. “But if I hadn’t done what I did last night, I wouldn’t have been able to retain consciousness and would have fainted, then… he would have been free to do what he wanted.”

“Does it hurt?” he asked. “The scene I saw after barging in last night of her clutching the shard and bleeding incessantly has been deeply imprinted on my mind.

“I have never seen a woman using such willpower to hold onto her consciousness. Even if her mental faculties were in a confused and semi-conscious state, her willpower was still strong enough for her to keep herself awake.”

“It’s fine.” She lowered her gaze gently. “This amount of pain. is nothing to me. Jay, do you know? Even if you lied to me… I’m still very grateful that you saved me yesterday. Back when I was in jail, no matter how much I begged or pleaded, no one was willing to let me go because I had offended someone I shouldn’t have in Emerald City. Thus, all of the pain was what i deserved.”

She paused to take a deep breath and continued, “But last night was different. When I was in pain, you came and it made me feel like I was not so lonely and helpless.”

She replied softly but she did not notice that his expression had imperceptibly turned grave at her words.

“If there is anything that I regret in this life, it must be letting those people hurt her in jail all those years ago.

“Usually, I wouldn’t care about the pain a woman went through in jail. Even if they died in there, I would just smile faintly at the news.

“And yet now, I don’t want her to be hurt in the slightest.”

“I’m sorry,” he mumbled.

She raised her gaze and looked at him confusedly. “Why are you apologizing? If you hadn’t come last night, I wouldn’t be safe and sound now.”

She thought that he was apologizing for last night’s incident. “If he hadn’t come last night, then my fate… it’s obvious what would have happened.

“I would have been imprisoned in the Miller residence until I gave birth to a child for the Miller family.” As the idea occurred to her, her face unwittingly paled.

Then she spoke to him as if she had mustered all of her courage. “The person I offended was isaac . Back then, the Mayers family was afraid that I would implicate the Mayer Group, so lewis broke up with me. Now that you’re helping me, what if it angers isaac …?”

“I think he might be one of those rich people and probably has some business dealings with the Landford family. After all, the Landford family is involved in providing the basic necessities of many residents of Emerald City. Some industries have even been monopolized by the Landford family. Therefore, Emerald City is sometimes jokingly referred to as the Landford family’s city.”
Isaac's  throat felt tight, and he found himself unable to tell her that he was isaac.
He had planned to tell her his identity!

Her long hair flowed down her shoulders and her face looked pale under the light. She looked at him nervously with her almond eyes, as if she was worried over something.

Life seemed to have been harsh on her and she had resigned herself to receiving unfair treatment.

“Sis, rest well in the hospital and don’t worry about anything. After you are discharged, I will tell you who I am isaac said.

Isaac looked at him hesitantly before nodding her head.

After she had voiced her concerns, she yawned, feeling tired.

“Sis, if you’re tired, nap a while. The doctor said that you would feel drowsy for the next few days isaac said as he helped her to lie down.After a while,claire fell asleep.

Isaac pursed his lips as he looked at her face. He touched her cheek tenderly and moved his hand to her lips.

“Sis, tell me, how should I inform you of the truth? However, no one answered him.

When claire woke up, she saw isaac sitting by her side. He was still wearing the same suit.

“Are you hungry? Shall I get someone to bring you food?” he asked.

When claire heard this question, she nodded as she realized that she was famished.

“Let me take you to the washroom to wash up so that you can eat your breakfast later.” As isaac  spoke, he lifted claire out of the bed.

“I can do it…” Before claire could finish her sentence, she found herself being carried up in the air. She immediately wrapped her hands around his neck.
