Chapter 719: What is Wrong With You?
As Cai entered the room after a brief knock, he grimaced. "At least you had the sense to put it under cool water. How’s your thigh? Let me see the burn."
Without another word after that moved closer to inspect the wound while bringing out his first aid kit. He donned gloves and then applied the medicine while shaking his head and muttering," Its a good thing that I cooled it a bit before giving it to you. Or you would have burnt yourself. At least now, its only a little burn. It will trouble you for a few days and then it will be fine.
Dora, on the other hand, paid no attention to his muttering and watched him intently, her eyes lingering on the finger marks on his neck. "Did he hurt you?", she asked tentatively.
Cai looked up then and instead of answering her question, told her "Given that he almost became my uncle, I decided to let it slide and didn’t hurt him."
"I wasn’t asking about him. And what uncle! He never could be your..." Cai gave her a look that had her shutting up in the lie. She had been thinking long term with Kael.
"Well, you meant to ask. But right now, you are angry at him and therefore won’t ask about him. But you are also worried, so you are trying to get information about him."
Dora frowned and looked away. "I don’t care about him."
"Of course you don’t."
Dora glared at him and said, "You know I hate it when you’re sarcastic."
"Well, the situation demands sarcasm. Dora Sterling, you came out dressed like this just because you wanted to make him jealous that you were letting another man stay with you like this. And then you purposely let him think that you were inviting me into your bedroom. What was all that about if not to rebel against him and wishing to hurt him because he hirt you. If it had been my girlfriend appearing like that, I’d have gone all caveman on her, and you know it."
"Because you would have loved her, Cai. But Kael Ignis did what he did because of that stupid bet."
