Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband

Chapter 23 - 23: 23: The Injured Wrist

“If I say it wasn’t, then it wasn’t Baron Stuart’s least favorite thing was being questioned, but just as he was about to interrupt her distrust again, his sensitive ears seemed to hear hurried footsteps from the staircase.

His whole body tensed, and he instinctively pulled Emily Walker’s wrist, running to a corner!

“Hiss…ok

“Don’t make a sound!” Baron Stuart growled softly, covering Emily Walker’s mouth with his other hand, not allowing her to make any noise.

As the two hid in the corner, Baron Stuart didn’t notice his hand gripping Emily’s injured wrist, perhaps he was too tense, and his grip on her hand gradually tightened. Under the dim moonlight, he didn’t notice the cold sweat dripping from the child in his arms.

Previously, he had come to the rooftop to avoid his grandpa’s surveillance, but he didn’t expect his grandpa’s men to find him so quickly.

His roar quickly silenced Emily, and as she looked up, she saw two shadows not far away, their searching eyes seemed to be looking for someone.

Feeling the tense man standing beside her, Emily quickly realized that the two people must be looking for him.”

However, the grip on her wrist tightened more and more, and she was in great pain but didn’t dare to make a sound for fear of attracting unnecessary trouble.

Suppressing the pain, she could silence herself, but her tears could not be controlled and flowed out like broken beads.

Baron Stuart focused on the two figures and didn’t notice the girl in his arms until the two men left, and his heart finally relaxed.

As he relaxed, he felt a cool liquid slowly flowing between his fingers, which were covering her face.

He instinctively released her face, and then looked down at Emily, only to find her in tears…

Baron Stuart was stunned, not understanding what was wrong with her, and not realizing that his other hand had been gripping her hand tightly.

“It hurts… it hurts so much…” Emily frowned, and the beads of sweat on her forehead kept overflowing due to the pain.

Seeing her extremely painful expression, Baron Stuart was puzzled, furrowed his brows and asked subconsciously, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Hand… my hand hurts so much…” Emily didn’t dare to struggle because the back of her hand was held tightly by him. The more she struggled, the deeper the pain would be.

Hand? Baron Stuart snapped back to reality, looking at Emily’s hand, only to realize that although she was wearing short sleeves, there was a layer of soft material on her wrist where he held her.

It was gauze.

In the dim moonlight, Baron Stuart immediately saw the gauze tied around Emily’s wrist. Knowing that she was in great pain, he instinctively let go of her hand. What caught his eye was the blood-stained gauze and the fresh red blood stains on his own hand.

Baron Stuart looked astonished, glanced at her wrist, and then looked up at her sweaty face.

As her wrist was released, Emily’s pain was halved, but she still frowned in pain.

Baron Stuart realized that this woman suppressed her pain under his low growl

and didn’t make a sound.

Looking at the blood-stained gauze, Baron Stuart’s heart felt inexplicably heavy, and he subconsciously pulled Emily’s other hand to walk towards the staircase entrance.

Emily was led by him all the way to his room, somewhat puzzled by his actions..
