CEO's Reborn Wife

"This is James Black’s stuff. He braved the rain to come back last night, probably thought it was damp, so he didn’t bring it upstairs." Jane Sampson weighed the carry-on bag, it wasn’t heavy.

She then directly complained to Brooke Black, "He’s so irresponsible, he got injured and didn’t tell me. Last night, he even came back in the rain, and when he entered, his hair was still dripping water."

"James Black is back?" Brooke Black was incredulous, "In his room? Is the injury serious?"

"He said it’s not serious, I haven’t seen it yet, I’m not sure. He asked me to come down to get him gauze and medicine, Auntie, come upstairs with me to check it out. If the injury is serious, help me take him to the hospital for treatment." Jane Sampson said.

Brooke Black nodded and followed Jane Sampson upstairs.

While asking, "Did he come back at midnight last night? No wonder the carry-on bag is still wet. I slept well last night; when he entered, no one even knew."

As James Black mentioned, the injury was indeed not serious.

Jane Sampson removed the gauze soaked in blood and saw the situation inside.

It was about a five-centimeter wound, stitched up a few times; although it bled last night, fortunately, the wound did not rupture.

Following James Black’s instructions, Jane Sampson reapplied medicine to the wound, then cut new gauze to separate the wound from clothes, preventing infection and friction from affecting recovery.

Seeing there wasn’t much to worry about, Brooke Black felt relieved and continued sipping lemon water while leaning against the cabinet, watching Jane Sampson busy. At the same time, she asked James Black, "Are you going back to the guard team today, or can you rest for two days?"

"No need. I returned to the guard team immediately after arriving in Capital Province yesterday; last night, I came back from the guard team at midnight." James Black shook his head, answering while keeping his eyes lowered, looking at the careful hands around his waist.

Jane Sampson paused her movements, instinctively raising her head to look at him, and their gazes met.

Jane Sampson’s eyes contained a hint of unveiled amusement, very slight, yet James Black caught it.

She was happy to hear he didn’t have to return to the guard team today.

"Aren’t you silly?" James Black’s hand rubbed the head at his waist, "Didn’t I tell you before sleep last night?"

Brooke Black watched and felt her eyes hurt.

"You two take your time, I’m going downstairs." Brooke Black shook her head, happily stepped out of their bedroom with a water cup.

Staying there, breakfast would probably be unnecessary.

After Brooke Black left, Jane Sampson responded to James Black, "You’re a big liar, your words aren’t very credible."

"I’ve never lied to you." James Black explained very earnestly, "I said it was a minor injury, and that’s what it is. You can’t be mad at me over this."

"Bossy." Jane Sampson muttered under her breath.

James Black raised his eyebrows.

Hmm, hard to please.

Once Jane Sampson finished cleaning up the stuff, James Black resumed speaking, asking Jane Sampson to sit beside him. He lifted her pajama sleeve to carefully examine her arm.

He hadn’t seen clearly last night because the light wasn’t good.

"The hand doesn’t look good anymore~" Jane Sampson was somewhat reluctant to show James Black, tried to pull back her hand, but couldn’t.

"No, it won’t." James Black gently put down her sleeve, "It will get better slowly."

Hearing those words from James Black, Jane Sampson suddenly burst out laughing, leaving James Black baffled, staring at her for several seconds.

"What’s so funny?" James Black was puzzled, previously a little upset about being called unattractive, but why did she suddenly laugh so happily?

"Not telling you." Jane Sampson stood up, left James Black behind, and went off to wash up.
