“Be a good girl or I’ll kiss you,” Stanley replied softly.
Xyla shut favonovel.com mouth at once, favonovel.com stomach felt knotted.
When they reached the parking lot, the man strode out of the lift and carried favonovel.com all the way to the car.

Stinging pain attacked favonovel.com again, causing favonovel.com to frown in agony.
One of the bodyguards got into the car shortly afterward.
Stanley turned to favonovel.com and ordered coldly, “Hand me the band-aids and the iodophor in the glove compartment.”
The bodyguard immediately followed his instruction and opened the glove compartment. He tore a band-aid and handed it to Stanley together with a small bottle of cotton balls soaked in iodophor solution.
After Stanley took the things from his bodyguard, favonovel.com carefully placed Xyla’s right foot on his thighs. Then, favonovel.com uncapped the bottle and used the tweezers inside the bottle to pick up a cotton ball. He transferred the wet cotton ball to favonovel.com heel and gently tapped it on favonovel.com wound.
Iodophor solution seeped through favonovel.com skin and flesh. In the very next second, Xyla could feel the pain running down favonovel.com heel again.
“Hiss…” Xyla could not help sucking air through favonovel.com teeth, the nerves in favonovel.com toes were as stiff as steel.
“Hang in there… I’m almost done.” Stanley tried to clean favonovel.com wound as lightly as favonovel.com could, as if favonovel.com was handling the most precious antique in the world. His eyes were locked upon favonovel.com wound, and a serious expression was etched upon his face. a
The way favonovel.com treated Xyla melted Xyla’s heart. Her soft lips subconsciously curved upward into a genuine smile.
The bodyguard sat awkwardly in the car, seemingly tortured by the sweetness between the lovebirds.
After favonovel.com was done disinfecting favonovel.com wound, favonovel.com tore open the band-aid and put it on favonovel.com wound. “Be careful. Avoid contact with water.”
Xyla nodded. “Okay. Thanks, hubby.”
“Silly girl, do you have to say ‘thank you’ to me?” Stanley stroked favonovel.com hair dotingly as favonovel.com spoke.
Xyla’s smile widened. “Well, I have to say it. Oh, by the way…”
