Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 455

At Cloudscape Community, Juniper showered and immediately fell asleep on her bed.

Shanley opened the door and walked quietly to her side, intending to cover her with a blanket. But he stopped short when he saw her injured finger.

What happened?

Just as he was wondering, the sleeping girl’s eyes fluttered open.

“You’re awake?” Shanley gently touched her hair, then stood up to get the first-aid kit. “How did you hurt your hand?”

“Oh,” Juniper said, waving her hand nonchalantly. “I was bored this afternoon, so I went to the jewelry studio. I slipped while cutting a piece.”

“Give me your hand.” Shanley opened the kit, his handsome face etched with concern.

“It’s just a scratch, don’t worry about it,” Juniper said dismissively. “Compared to the time I nearly got my head chopped off, this is nothing.”

“Behave,” Shanley insisted, holding a cotton swab and looking at her intently.

“...Fine, fine.” Unable to refuse, Juniper impatiently placed her hand in his.

“What do you mean, your head was nearly chopped off?” he asked in a low, husky voice, carefully cleaning the wound.

“Oh,” Juniper said, leaning against the headboard and yawning. “Just an old rival of mine. He couldn’t beat me fair and square, so the piece of trash resorted to dirty tricks and ambushes. He threw a bomb at my house, and it landed right on my bedroom roof...”

Juniper’s face turned cold, her voice laced with a terrifying venom. “The house collapsed, and a shard of glass nearly sliced my neck open.”
