Chapter 30
Chapter 30
Adriane was strong from the way she carried Arthur in her arms a day ago. She was stronger than most women. On the other hand, Wendy was thin and weak. Adriane could beat up fan women like Wendy in one go
Arthur was in his wheelchair and could not kick Wendy away, while Tom did not realize what had happened Yael was standing a distance away from them. Wendy would have touched Arthur if Adriane had not reacted quickly enough
Adriane did not use her full strength when she kicked Wendy’s chest. There was a loud bang, and Wendy fell on the clean floor, sliding a few feet away.
Wendy’s face was ashen, and she coughed and stumbled to get up. Adriane, who was still on guard, dashed towards Wendy and kicked her again. This time. Wendy could not get up anymore. She cried in pain as she pointed at Adriane with her trembling finger.
Wendy thought she would be able to touch Arthur’s leg, even just for a second. She might even be able to brush them off by saying that it was an accident if she failed to touch them. Never did she think that Adriane would kick her.
Adriane, who Wendy was pointing at, was not sorry for kicking Wendy, Instead, she shouted at Wendy, “What are you trying to do?”
A flash of panic could be seen on Wendy’s face. Then she put on an innocent look immediately. Before Wendy could come up with an excuse, Adriane ran towards Arthur and said as she patted her chest, “Artie, I was so shocked when I saw her dashing towards you, trying to harm you”
Wendy was speechless. She rolled her eyes, thinking. “You said you were scared, yet you still had the energy to kick me?”
“No, I’m just trying to assist you,” Wendy shook her head in panic and thought of approaching Arthur again. As soon as she climbed over, Adriane pushed
her away.
Wendy’s chest hurt because of Adriane’s kick. It had gotten even worse when Adriane pushed her away. She could only lay on the ground pathetically.
Embarrassed and angry. Wendy sobbed as tears flowed down her cheek, “Mr. Arthur, I was just trying to amend my mistake yesterday.”
Adriane snorted, “Artie clearly said that he wanted me to assist him. I think you are up to something bad!”
Wendy cried out and said, “No, I’m not.”
Adriane waited for Arthur to say something, but he did not. So, unhappily, she put down her hand and said, “Okay, you can do it since you want to assist.”
With that, she turned around and was about to leave. Before she could walk away, Arthur grabbed her wrist.
Arthur was weak now. Adriane could easily break free if she wanted to leave, but she wriggled her wrist a little and stayed back
That girl had aroused Arthur’s interest in her. Arthur felt that Adriane was a little funny. She did not want to assist him just now, but she was unhappy when others tried to snatch away her job.
Arthur could not move his legs. He was not blind. It was evident that Wendy was aiming for his legs. Fortunately, Adriane stopped him.
“Did I say you can leave?” Mr. Pride spoke expressionlessly.
Adriane was also worried that she might have misunderstood Wendy Wendy might not be up to something, but Adriane had already kicked her. She had no choice but to put on an innocent look and say, “I was so terrified by her sudden attack, and you did not even speak out for me.”
Arthur lifted his eyebrows in disbelief. Se, Adriane was blaming him now?
Wendy was still crying in one corner of the room. She was in pain and frustrated. All she could do now was to hope that Arthur would not trust what
Adriane said
However, Arthur did not even glance at Wendy. He only glanced coldly at Tom
Tom, who had always been gentle and kind, had a cold expression on his face. He looked like he was going to murder someone.
“Mr. Arthur, I will give you an explanation after investigating. Let’s continue with physiotherapy first”

Arthur said nothing, agreeing to Tom’s suggestion.
When Wendy was puzzled and did not understand why everyone iphoned her, Yael approached her and dragged her out of the room Panicked, Wendy struggled and shouted, “Mr. Arthur!”
Arthur frowned as he was annoyed Ynei knew what Arthur was thinking and covered Wendy’s mouth finally, they could hear on mora of Wendy’s
annoying shout
Yael dragged Wendy to a small room downstairs and locked her in it. Panic struck Wendy. She shouted, “What have I done? Why do you have to lock me in this room? Open the door!
A cold male voice came from outside the room, “You’re lucky you didn’t have time to do anything, or it wouldn’t have been as simple as lockin it you uti You better stay here quietly before Mr. Arthur changes his mind and decides to cut off your tongue because you are too noisy”
Wendy gasped and shuddered. Her chest ached so badly that she sat down next to the door, clenching her teeth. She unbuttoned her uniform and looked at her chest. There were bruises on it.
“That b*tch! How hard did she kick me? I think she broke my bones too,” Wendy thought.
Afraid that would expose her motive, Wendy reminded herself, “Don’t admit it. Dr. White will not be able to investigate anything. I’ll have another chance to approach Arthur.”
After Yael dragged Wendy out of the room, Arthur looked at Adriane, “Go on.”
“Okay,” Adriane squatted. She slowly massaged Arthur’s fingers under Tom’s instructions. It was simple physiotherapy.
Arthur’s hand was rougher than Adriane thought it would be. There were a few calluses on his hands, which did not disappear even though he had been bedridden for half a year.
His skin was paler than any ordinary man because he had not been in the sun for at least a year. The thin, blueish veins were visible under his skin, and his fingers were so slender that Adriane could feel the bones.
Adriane did physiotherapy seriously because she cared about Arthur’s health. With extreme focus, she finished all the steps Tom instructed her. So, the did not realize Arthur’s gaze was on her,
Her little hands were soft and boneless, fleshy, and soft. The strength she exerted on Arthur’s finger was light. It was difficult for Arthur to imagine Adriane was the person who kicked Wendy just now if he had not seen it for himself.
Soon, there was sweat on Adriane’s forehead, but she did not bother to wipe it off. Her warm breath gushed on Arthur’s finger when she lowered her head. Arthur could feel his blood boiling, and the temperature of his body had risen a little.
Arthur could confirm one thing. He was sure that he did not repel Adriane’s touch. What surprised him was he longed for Adriane to touch him more.
Ten minutes later, Tom beckoned Adriane to massage Arthur’s other hand.
Arthur did not say anything except when he answered Tom’s question
Adriane, on the other hand, memorized whatever Tom told her Tom said that Arthur could practice carrying heavy items a few days later. She thought, “He might not need my help when he does the weightlifting practice, I guess?”
Finally, physiotherapy ended. Adriane let out a sigh and was about to get up. But Arthur ordered Tom, “Teach her how to massage my legs.”
Tom glanced at the engaged couple and then smiled, “Sure”
Adriane sat on the ground and looked at Arthur, shocked. Her gaze seemed to say, “Are you going to make me massage your legs too?”
Adnane could not understand Arthur’s intention of letting her massage him. Arthur was always avoiding her whenever he needed help getting out of his bed. And, he even hated when Wendy tried to touch him.
The noise of Adriane falling on the ground on her buttock was quite loud, but Tom did not dare to help Adriane get up. Arthur looked at Adriane, who was on the floor, and said, “What’s wrong?”

Adriane thought, “I better not say anything that might embarrass myself. It might be just my imagination running wild.”
So, she answered, “It is the cramp on my legs.”
