Chapter 661: Chapter 661: If You Don’t Want to Break His Heart
Chi Enen was caught off guard as he grasped her hand, nearly pulling her off balance, but fortunately, she steadied herself. While trying to pull her wrist free, she said dismissively, “I just accidentally cut myself.”
“How did you get cut?” Li Beijue asked, pressing for an answer.
Under his piercing gaze, Chi Enen found nowhere to hide and had to tell the truth, “During the car accident, the seatbelt was stuck, and I tried to pry it open with a piece of glass, but I accidentally cut my palm. However, the cut wasn’t deep, and it’s fine now. Let go of me first, and I’ll fetch your medication for you.”
Her casual tone belied the tumult rising in Li Beijue’s heart.
He could see with his own eyes!
The cut on the woman’s palm was deep, almost reaching the bone, demonstrating how forcefully she had gripped the shard of glass. He could also imagine how dangerous the situation must have been.
She had been in a car accident and fallen into the sea, with the seatbelt stuck and unyielding…
Rage flared in his chest.
This time, it wasn’t anger at Chi Enen but at himself!
Damn it, why had he fallen asleep back then, why hadn’t he answered the call from this woman!
Thank goodness… thank goodness she was rescued at the time, or he couldn’t even begin to imagine the outcome.
Chi Enen felt the change in the temperature around her. She pursed her lips and emphasized again, “My hand really isn’t badly hurt, look, it’s already healing, starting to scab over. On the other hand, your back is still bleeding. Li Beijue, let me go, I’ll tend to the wound on your back.”
She had expected the man holding onto her to argue a bit more before letting go, but unexpectedly, he obediently released her.

Chi Enen quickly got up, found the nurse’s medical kit placed in the room, sourced the hemostatic and anti-inflammatory ointment from inside, and brought it over beside the bed.
“I’ll start by removing the gauze for you.”
Li Beijue yanked her over, forcefully snatched the ointment from her hand, pulled up her right hand, palm facing up, clenched his jaw, and began to apply the ointment to her.
A cool sensation spread from the palm of her hand. Chi Enen involuntarily curled her fingers and struggled, “My wound is almost healed; you don’t need to bother with it.”
There was only so much ointment; her hand could wait until tomorrow, but his wound needed attention now.
Li Beijue tightened his grip on her wrist, forcefully not allowing her to break free, and lifting his head, his falcon-like eyes fixed intently on her face, he growled with an unpleased look, “If you don’t want to cause me heartache, stop moving!”
“…” Chi Enen instantly froze.
Li Beijue partially closed his eyelids, his sharp features became more pronounced in the light, making them appear three-dimensional. His noble and sexy profile was as distinct as a mountain peak, cut in perfect gold proportions, irresistibly capturing her gaze…
The wound on her palm, now treated with the cool ointment, felt much better.
Chi Enen, watching the man intently applying the medication, felt her anxious heart settle down after many days of unease.
At the same time, she made up her mind about something.
Li Beijue didn’t know what she was thinking, and for the first time didn’t notice that Chi Enen was staring at him. His entire mind was occupied with the jagged scar on the delicate palm. Despite having begun to scab, one could still faintly see the gory state it had been in at the time.
“Shit!” His breathing deepened, and a harsh curse slipped from his thin lips!
The movements of his hands, however, were not as harsh as his irritated tone, gentle as if he were handling a delicate piece of porcelain, carefully applying ointment to Chi Enen’s palm.
