Chapter 52 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

Loredana immediately raised her head up and looked at him. Didn’t he attend the dinner party with her last night?

Why so sudden?

Cormac fixed his gaze and said, “It’s her arrangement for work.”

He wouldn’t tell her that he sent Helen away on purpose.

He wasn’t a fool. His uncontrolled feelings for Loredana, might be because he actually liked her a little?

He had never loved anyone before, so he didn’t understand his feelings. In short, Loredana was indeed attractive to him.

“I see.”

After replying his words, she did not speak anymore.

Ding! The elevator reached their desired floor and the door slowly opened.

Cormac walked out of the elevator and Loredana followed him out. She looked at his blood-drenched hand. There was so much blood that she couldn’t see the wound clearly.

Cormac was about to enter his office when Loredana sped up her steps and called him, “Should I…

dress your wound first?”

Cormac did not say anything, but he stood at the door of his office like a statue.

Loredana seemed to understand his body language; she quickly rushed forward to open the door of his office. She thought of the medical supplies in the pantry cabinet for emergency purposes and said, “I’ll go get the first aid kid.”

Cormac turned around and looked at her back leaving hastily. The corner of his lips turned up in a gentle smile.

Loredana came back with a first aid kit. Cormac sat on the sofa and his injured hand was on his knee.

The blood on his hand had coagulated. She walked towards him with the first aid kit, placing the kit on the coffee table and opened it. She found the disinfectant and gauze. She lowered her gaze and said,

“The medical supplies here are limited. If it’s severe, you still have to go to the hospital.”

She had prepared herself while she was talking. Her attention was on the wound of his hand and she didn’t think of anything else. She took his hand and clearly saw the wound on his palm.

The knife cut across his palm. If he didn’t apply pressure on the wound with his fist, he would have lost even more blood.

Loredana’s hand trembled slightly and she murmured, “This may hurt a little, so bear with it.”

She took the alcohol-soaked cotton swab and cleaned the wound on his hand. Although she had not done it before, she did not panic. She was very calm as she handled the wound carefully.

Cormac raised his gaze and stared at the woman right in front of him. She looked down at his wound.

Her eyelashes were long and curled, framing them in such a way that could be considered hypnotising.

Ouch!

“Did I hurt you?” Loredana raised her head and met his eyes.

The distance between them was so close that they could feel each other’s breath. Cormac’s breathing was a little heavy. His breath blew on the hair on her collarbone every now and then.

“Relieve the pain for me.”

Loredana was dumbfounded. There was no anesthetic in the first aid box. Even if there was, she wouldn’t know how to use it. She was unfamiliar with medication but she knew at least that anesthetic must be administered by a doctor.

So how will she stop the pain?

“Why, why don’t you go to the hospital? I see that your injury is rather serious…”

The hot and humid breath enveloped them. Her mouth was shut at the next moment and Loredana was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand but he grasped her hand before she could push him and prevented her from moving. His kiss was more intense than before. Loredana’ body tensed up and closed her eyes to savor the taste and wondered if it was the same as that night. At that moment, her heart pounded strongly as if it could jump out of her chest at any time.

She wanted to forget that night but yet clearly remembered the feeling. Compared to Cormac, she remembered it clearly but Cormac was in a daze. He was barely aware of the surroundings and unclear of the details of that night. He barely felt what was going on and only knew that he had sex with a woman and ruined her innocence. He was responsible for her.

The desires that Loredana gave him was perfect and something that Helen had never given him.

“Aren’t you scared?” His eyes were exceptionally attractive like it was full of water, sparkling and deep.

He looked at her profoundly, “Don’t you know that it was very dangerous?”

He was very surprised that she would lunge over to him.

Loredana held her breath. Scared, how could she not be scared? Except in that situation, she did it without much consideration. If she had thought about it calmly for three seconds, perhaps she wouldn’t do it.

Now she was wondering about how Beulah could do something without considering the consequences.

What triggered her to do these? Did something happen when Cormac visited to the Flores family with her the other day?

Cormac’s gaze looked towards her moist lips and although she still despised him, it was not as bad as the past. Was she getting used to his kiss?

“What’s on your mind?” Cormac took over the bandage and covered his wound.

Loredana was distracted and saw that he was bandaging his wound and said, “You have not cleaned the wound…”

“It’s okay.” He calmly said.

Loredana looked at his actions and said aloud her doubts, “Has Beulah lost her mind? To think that she dared to cause trouble over here…That day, did you touch…”

Cormac looked coldly and profoundly at her. What did she mean? Did she doubt him?

This was a mystery to Loredana for Beulah to cause so much trouble with no regard for her own safety.

Definitely something big had happened otherwise she wouldn’t behave in such an insane manner.

“I didn’t!” He practically shouted. What did she take him for? Did she think that he’ll sleep with any woman?

“Then why was she here to cause trouble and seems to be after your life? Although what she did was very foolish, she wouldn’t have done something so insane if she had not been forced to the limit.”

Loredana couldn’t figure it out but Cormac knew that it must be involved with Garrett. His eyes darkened. Cormac didn’t say anything and Loredana thought that he didn’t know.

“It’s okay. I’ll go to do my work now.” She remained doubtful and packed up the first aid kit. Cormac acknowledged, thought about something, and reminded her, “Garrett might look for you in these couple of days.”

Loredana froze and turned to look at him, “How do you know?”

After she said, she seemed to realize something, “Were you involved in what happened to the Flores group?” She didn’t know the details but she was certain that it had something to do with Cormac.

Otherwise, Beulah wouldn’t be so insane.

“Why did you do it?” Loredana did not pity Beulah nor Garrett but she didn’t understand Cormac’s actions.

Cormac scoffed, “You endured her abuses but don’t allow me to flex my muscles?”

Loredana took a deep breath and pondered about which night’s issue was this grudge based on? She thought about it quietly and then decided that this man cannot be offended.

Just as Loredana packed up the first aid kit and was about to leave the office, someone knocked on the door.

Cormac stood up and sat at his table and then said calmly, “Come in.”

Abbott entered with some documents and was surprised to see Loredana in the room.

“These are all the information about the Flores Group.” Abbott handed over the documents to Cormac.

Loredana paused when she heard about the Flores Group and wanted to find out about what she didn’t know.

“Do you want to take a look?” Cormac asked when he saw her expression.
