NovelEnglishon Chapter 569 Wesley, the Faux Gentleman Emelle carefully applied the ointment onto Wesley's wound with a medical cotton swab, gently spreading it from the edges toward the bleeding area. She was being careful.
"It's not the sat all," she said, Wesley felt her touch, which was as light as a feather, brushing against him. It didn't hurt, but it did tickle a bit. He looked at her reflection in the glass. Her head was lowered, and she had a focused and serious look.
He didn't press her about what was different. Perhaps she meant that a wound on oneself felt different from a wound on someone else.
Meanwhile, what he thought about was how she had once been a young, delicate girl. However, she had experienced so much over the past decade, so much so that she had even consented for an abortion surgery. Thus, she was no longer scared of such minor injuries.
Wesley frowned as he recalled the events.

Emelie blinked and noticed his chest.
She hadn't seen it earlier because it was covered by his clothes. Now she saw that he had a scar on his chest, about the size of a ringmall Such a scar could only have been caused by a bullet.
She paused. "What happened here?" Wesley glanced at the scar and answered in a flat tone, The File Group's inheritance rights. It wasn't easy to obtain It was Emelie seeing an actual gunshot wound for the first time, and she unconsciously reached out to touch it, The wound had long healed, but the skin hadn't fully smoothed out. The edges were slightly raised, and her fingertips felt the rough texture. She could imagine the gruesscene when the bullet had penetrated his chest and caused the flesh to tear.
The bullet had struck his right chest, which was a critical area. Even without him saying it, she knew how dangerous it must have been.

So, he was hated bitterly by thefamily, who would gladly see him eliminated: Lost in thought, Emelie didn't realize her hand was still resting on Wesley's chest until Jodie knocked on the door.

He seemed in a good mood. Emelle knew his good mood was likely due to having made fun of her In fact, he was a da gentleman.
Instead of asking her directly about what she was doing earlier, he used his deep brown eyes to silently mock her, letting his teasing speak volumes without uttering a word Jodie had no other matters to report and lett after finishing
With Jodie's interruption, the awkwardness dissipated. Emelie quickly moved past theupcomfortable moment, pretending nothing had happened, and continued applying medicine to Wesley's back "So, did you get the Filo family's inheritance rights?
