Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Watch Your Words from Now On
Although it’s a non-venomous snake, getting bitten still hurts quite a bit.
At this mont, Matthew Saxon had no romantic thoughts at all. Seeing Scarlett Yates get bitten by a snake, he decided to take her to disinfect the wound imdiately.
"Can you walk on your own?" He first pressed down on the wound on her leg, waited until so blood flowed out, then looked up to see her.
Scarlett shook her head, her face pale.
Just now, upon seeing a snake wrapped around her leg, she was so scared that she went weak at the knees.
Now, her whole body felt soft like cotton, unable to muster any strength.
Matthew stood up, went to the shower to get a bath towel, wrapped her up like a dumpling, and carried her out of the hot spring pool.
When Matthew carried Scarlett, who was wrapped in just a bath towel, into the hall and asked the maid to take the dicine kit to his room, the maids exchanged knowing, ambiguous looks.
As soon as Matthew went upstairs, the discussion below erupted like boiling water.
"Do you think the Young Master and Miss Yates were in the hot spring pool..." As she spoke, she clicked her two thumbs together twice, then laughed suggestively.
"Isn’t it obvious? Didn’t you see the Young Master carrying her back, and he even asked for a dicine kit? Geez, that must have been intense."
"Yes, indeed. I just heard soone say that Miss Yates’s voice could be heard even from quite a distance away."
"I never expected it. She looks so pure and innocent, but she’s really got a knack for seducing n."
"Are you crazy? Saying things like that. If the Young Master hears it, he’ll be the first to cut out your tongue. Be careful with your words. If she becos our Young Madam, you’ll be in for it."
--
Scarlett buried her face in Matthew’s chest, not daring to look at him.
By now, she was no longer scared, and as she cald down, her mind naturally wandered to other things.
Thinking of how Matthew had seen her completely, her face turned crimson with embarrassnt.
Oh heavens, she really regretted herself; why did she even think of taking off her swimsuit?
Her cheeks were burning, as if they were about to ignite, her head resting against Matthew’s hot chest, her heartbeat racing faster and faster.
Once Matthew carried her back to the room and put her, wrapped like a dumpling, on the bed, Scarlett still kept her head down, avoiding his gaze.
She was afraid that eting his gaze would make her heart panic, her hands and feet disorderly, rendering her foolish and dumb.
A soft knock sounded, and the maid brought in the dicine kit.
Seizing the mont when Matthew went to get the dicine kit, Scarlett rolled herself into the quilt.
When Matthew ca over with the dicine kit, all he saw was her wrapped up completely in the quilt, with only her face showing.
Her hair was still wet, disheveled, and scattered around the pillow.
A mont ago, her face had been pale with fear, but now it was flushed red, like peach blossoms blooming, a rosy hue spreading across her cheeks.
Her eyes blinked continuously, deliberately avoiding his gaze, with a few traces of nervousness and disorder on her face, looking entirely out of sorts.
Matthew understood what was making her uneasy.
It took her this long to realize, she’s really slow on the uptake.
Matthew hadn’t been thinking about what had just happened, but seeing her so uncomfortable, a vivid image popped into his mind.
