Lambert might have accidentally gotten a large cut when Jane was struggling.
Ariana quickly used a handkerchief to stop the bleeding from Lambert's arm. She said annoyedly, "With such a big wound you have the nerve to fuss about me. Doesn't it hurt?"
After hearing this, Lambert glanced at his arm, slightly frowning, "It just looks serious because of the bleeding."
She was a bit angry, but thinking that he had saved her, she allowed him this one pass.
When they went to the doctor to get it bandaged, the doctor also let out a sigh of relief, saying that the wound was not deep, just a bit long.
He would just need to stay and rest overnight, and then he could be discharged once the bleeding has stopped.
Ariana watched as Lambert, who was cooperating with the doctor's bandaging, took off his blood-stained white shirt and suit jacket. His fair and strong muscles were quite a sight.
In the past, she had always thought that Lambert was slim, but she had never expected...
Noticing Ariana's gaze, Lambert raised an eyebrow at her unabashedly, "What do you think, are you satisfied with your husband's physique?"
Ariana felt a bit embarrassed as if she was caught red-handed. She humphed coldly, "I've seen plenty!"
"Really? Have you seen Vincent's as well?" he asked.
He deliberately mentioned Vincent. Ariana immediately made a sour face and said, "No."
However, after responding, Ariana instantly blushed.
Lambert pretended to think as if contemplating something and said teasingly, "So, would it be that our kiss at the banquet was your first kiss?"
"You're overthinking!" Ariana retorted coldly.
This Lambert was trying to trick her into speaking.
Caught off guard, Ariana was suddenly drawn into Lambert's arms by a swift pull, leaving her startled. When she was about to struggle, she heard him whisper in her ear, "Don't move unless you want my wound to split open."
Upon hearing this, Ariana indeed stopped struggling.
She sat in Lambert's arms whose upper body was bare, with no place to put her hands.
She glared at him, "Let me go!"
Lambert provocatively smirked, "No!"
"You!" She wanted to hit him so badly but then thought about how he had saved her. She gritted her teeth, held back her temper, and said, "Let go of me, we are in a hospital, this is...inappropriate...and you're injured."
Lambert teased, "It's just you and me here, what's there to worry about?"
He then deliberately glanced at her hands which had no place to rest, "Want to touch me? Don’t be so restrained."
Somewhat frustrated, Ariana snapped back, "Lambert, stop joking around with me! If you continue, I won't care if your wound splits open or not!"
Seeing her flaring up, Lambert lost interest and let her go.
After regaining her freedom, Ariana sat on a chair nearby and took a moment to calm herself. After thinking it through, she felt that she had been a bit harsh to her savior.
Noticing some fruits on the table, she couldn't help but ask, "Would you like to eat something?"
Lambert gave her a calm look. She pointed to the fruit and said, "I'll peel an apple for you."
...
After finishing up, Ariana sits on the sofa and unknowingly falls asleep.
