Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 55

Franklin went out again and came back very late.

Emily was asking the servant to help her to get ready for a bath.

She didn't take a bath after she came back yesterday. The doctor said she was injured and couldn't touch the water. But now it was hot and one would be all sweaty without a bath for half a day, not to mention a whole day.

Combined with the smell of ointment on her body, it even made her feel uncomfortable to smell it.

If she couldn't take a bath now, she'd go crazy.

Franklin asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

When the servant saw him coming back, she immediately greeted him respectfully and then told him what Emily wanted to do.

Franklin frowned and said, "Your wounds haven't scarred yet, and your legs can't move. What are you doing? Lie down and rest. We'll give you a bath when you get better.”

"But I feel terrible on my body. It's sticky and stinky. I'm going to die if I don't take a bath!" Emily shouted immediately.

Franklin said, "I've never heard of people dying if they don't take a bath. You can show me if you'll really die without a bath.”

"The plaster on my leg can only be removed for at least half a month. So I can't take a bath for half a month?" Emily asked angrily.

Franklin frowned and walked up. He sniffed at her and looked disgusted.

But he still said, "It's not good to take a bath, but you can wipe with a towel. I'll carry you to the bathroom and get some water!"

"Just let the servants do it. I don't want to bother you.” Emily struggled as soon as she was lifted up by Franklin.

Franklin ignored her refusal, carried her to the bathroom, put her on the prepared chair, and began to unbutton her.

Emily was horrified. She grabbed his hand and asked, "What... What are you doing? You're not going to do it yourself, right?”

"Can't I?" Franklin raised his eyebrows.

Emily cried out in horror, "Of course, you can't."

"If 1 can't do it, then who can?" Franklin approached her and looked into her eyes.

Emily swallowed and said awkwardly, "I'm so sorry to have you serve me. Just find a servant.”

"You're my wife. How can I show your body to others? Are you kidding me?" Franklin snorted, ignoring her as he continued unbuttoning her. Emily's face turned red like it was almost bleeding.

Now she was so embarrassed. This was ridiculous!

However, being injured, she could not resist. Franklin forcibly took off her clothes and wiped her body with a warm towel.

He wiped her very carefully, avoiding her wound and showing no other intention.

She didn't expect Franklin to really wipe her as if nothing had happened. After wiping, he quickly get her dressed and carried her back to her room. And then he went to take a bath.

However, it took a long time for him to bathe, and when he came out, he glanced at Emily calmingly.

"Why pretend to be calm?" Emily muttered in a low voice.

After that, she curled her lips and covered her face with a muffled smile. Franklin frowned and asked, "Why are you smiling so weirdly?"

"What's so weird about my smile?" Emily immediately let go of her face and coughed softly, looking serious.

Franklin lift the quilt and sat down beside her, "You should be honest when you're hurt. Don't think about this and that. Don't you know how to rest and cultivate your character?”

"Hey, what do you mean?" Emily's eyes widened in surprise. Was he implying that she was horny?

"I don't mean anything. I'm just talking about the matter. I saw Harry today and told him to find someone else. Your contract with him was over. He knew you were injured and wanted to see you, but I rejected him." Franklin changed the subject again.

When Emily heard that he had terminated her contract with Harry, she immediately cried out, "How can you terminate the contract without my consent?" He said, "That contract is of no benefit to you. If you don't terminate it, do you still want to keep it for the new year? And do you know a woman named Lily?"

"Lily? How do you know her?" Emily was surprised.

“I'm asking if you know her."

"Of course I do. She is a disaster in my life. I met her before I was injured yesterday, and then I was robbed. It's definitely not good to see her," Emily said angrily.

"It was not good to see her, but it was not a coincidence. That robber must have been eyeing you for a long time and followed you to a place where there were fewer people. But you were not wearing designer clothes and you don't seem rich. Why didn't he rob other people? It was probably a premeditated robbery."

"You mean."

Emily was surprised. She did have a bad relationship with Lily. But there were only arguments or fights between them. It would be too vicious for Lily to hire someone to rob her and hurt her like this.

"That's impossible! She can't be so crazy.” Emily was still a little skeptical about it.
