Loving A Stranger - Chapter 524
“Mrs. Parker!” The housekeeper didn’t have time to mind manners at this moment. He grabbed Kylie’s hand and covered it in running cold water. “You don’t need to do that.”
Kylie raised a smile. “Even if you’re willing to help me, I must try this ointment in personally for Ethan’s safety.”
It was a matter of Ethan’s life, so she must be cautious.
“I’ll help you!” The housekeeper nodded with determination.
The shooting of Oh, Mother, would continue tomorrow, and he was worried that it would affect Kylie’s job before the shooting started. The housekeeper applied the ointment over Kylie’s hand before she went back to her room.
The housekeeper told Lucy to serve Kylie in her room in case Ethan aroused suspicion.
Once the ointment was rubbed into Kylie’s skin, it was itchy and painful, which almost drove her crazy.
She picked the script, walking forwards and backward on the balcony. She hoped the cold wind could cool her hand down. However, she found the burn on her hand got hotter after being exposed to the cold wind.
Lucy walked in with dinner later. “Mrs. Parker, do you feel uncomfortable?” Lucy was confused, seeing Kylie walking around in the room with sweat dropping.
“No, I’m fine.” Kylie smiled. “I just did some exercise, and I’m sweating now.”
“You’ve been pregnant for six months now. It’s not necessary to exercise anymore,” Lucy said and placed dishes on the table. “Well, I think being an actress isn’t an easy job. You have to keep in shape even though you’re pregnant.”
“There is no easy job in this world. And a lot of questions bothered me lately. I wanted to talk to Ethan and ask him the answer to those; however, he’s been in a bad mood recently,” Kylie had no appetite at all now.
Lucy understood what she meant. She even wanted to tell Kylie what she knew about Lord Ethan, but she hesitated to spit it out as she respected him. Once Lucy was gone, she flushed the food down the toilet.
Kylie didn’t hear Ethan’s voice for a whole night, and she’s busy searching over the internet about the nature of Ethan’s race. She dug out several pieces of information and kept it for a while. There was also a significant doubt that ran through her head as to why Ethan suffered internal injuries when she read a particular fact that werewolves can heal themselves. And she wanted to know what secret lies inside the secret room that Ethan has been hiding away from her for the past months. She decided to give Ethan enough time to fix his personal conflict against Stephen. It’s clear evidence that the twins have both loved her, and she knew it wasn’t easy for the three of them since both men hated each other, and no one wanted to give up.
Hours past she thought he was already asleep in the study, but she didn’t know he actually was planning how to catch Stephen.
Stephen also called Tory to finish the deal in advance in order to get Kylie earlier.
The competition between men against each other was climbing to the peak.
The next day, Kylie checked her hand the moment she opened her eyes.
She was surprised to find there was a scab over the burn now!
It was still very itchy where the new flesh grew, and Kylie felt like thousands of ants were crawling over her skin.
“See, can you believe it?” Kylie ran to the housekeeper and showed him her hand.
The housekeeper had witnessed the scary burn on Kylie’s hand yesterday, and it got much better over just one night.
“Wow, Mrs. Parker, where did you get this ointment?” The housekeeper beamed with happiness.
The smile faded a little on Kylie’s face. “Well, it’s not important, but it’s safe and effective.”
The housekeeper nodded and took the ointment from Kylie’s hand, then put it into the medicine box.
“Is Ethan up?” Kylie pointed at the study.
“Mr. Parker is out this early morning.” The housekeeper lowered his head and avoided meeting Kylie’s eyes.
“Oh.” Kylie didn’t think too much. “I need to go back to work in the set today. Do remember to apply it to his wounds twice a day.”
She walked to the door, then turned around. “The skin might be hot like it’s burning after using the ointment, but don’t cool it down with cold water, or it’ll get hotter.”
“Thanks, I’ll bear that in mind.” The housekeeper glanced at Kylie. She must have been through it herself.
Kylie really cared about Ethan very much.
She wrapped a piece of cloth around her hand in case she rubbed the injury with her nails.
After having breakfast, she went to the set.
When Kylie’s car just moved away, Ethan’s car entered the yard.
“Mrs. Parker went to work.” The housekeeper reported it to Ethan.
Ethan strode inside. “Was everything good last night?”
The housekeeper was touched by Kylie’s behavior, so he replied, “Lord Ethan, Mrs. Parker really cares about your condition, and she asked about you many times.”
Ethan slowed down for a short while, then sped up. He looked serious in silence but already melted.
The housekeeper followed him close behind to the door of the study. “Mr. Parker, it’s time to change your dressing.”
Ethan answered in a deep voice, then let the housekeeper in with him.
The housekeeper helped Ethan take off his shirt, and his back was already wet.
“Lord Ethan, please pay more attention to your own body. Your inner strength deteriorated lately,” The housekeeper opened the medicine box. He hesitated for a while, then took out the ointment Kylie gave him.
“Who prescribed this medicine?” Ethan asked all of a sudden.
The housekeeper said at once, “The new doctor just sent it here.”
Ethan stopped asking but frowned.
The housekeeper cleaned Ethan’s back up, then gently rubbed the ointment into his skin. “Lord Ethan, please stand it for a while.” The burns on Ethan’s back were still terrible.
Ethan straightened up his back in pain the moment the ointment was on it.
It felt different from all the medicines he had used before.
It was cool for a short while at the beginning, then started to grow hot till the burning pain.
Ethan caught his pants tight with great force. And his eyes dilated, and then he turns into his wolf form.
The burns on Ethan’s back were much more serious than the burn on Kylie’s hand, so it took nearly half an hour for the housekeeper to apply the ointment well. After the whole process, Ethan forces himself to bear the sharp pain.
“Lord Ethan…” When the housekeeper was about to say something, Ethan stopped him.
“Out now,” Ethan said in a low voice.
The housekeeper understood Ethan didn’t want others to see his expression in great pain, so he packed the ointment up without delay. “Lord Ethan, you also need to take this pill for your infection.”
Ethan was a little impatient in anxiety and swallowed the pill to shut the housekeeper’s mouth.
The housekeeper didn’t dare say another word and left the study at once.
The second the door was closed, Ethan abruptly shifted back to his human form.
He took a long breath out and clenched his fists. It was hard to describe the pain on his back now, but he felt utterly uncomfortable. In the end, he punched the wall with great force. “Fuck this severe injury! I suppress my inner power to work its natural healing process. I should figure out why this one occurs!”
The pain caused by the punch slightly relieved the pain on his back.
Kylie didn’t have a good day today, either.
She couldn’t help but scratch her hand a few times during the shooting. Although the director didn’t notice her little movements, she still thought it was nonprofessional and proposed to do more takes.
Kate kept nodding and complemented Kylie. “You’re a very professional actress.”
“Yeah, my mother is the best actress!” Ben also nodded like an adult.
Fannie handed Kylie a glass of water when they had a break. “Are you alright, Kylie? You’re sweating, and the make-up is damaged a little.”
Kylie fanned herself with her hand. “Well, I feel so hot now, and I ache to have some ice cream.”
