Chapter 188 He Didn't
William grabbed her hand. As Emelie tried to pull away, he used tweezers to hold a cotton ball soaked in lodine
solution against her palm
Emelie took a sharp breath.
With a mocking glance, William persisted in treating the scraped skin on her palm from when she fell out of the
tree.
The scratches were neither too deep nor shallow. Since she didn’t bandage them and washed her hands, the skin
was slightly raised and pale.
Dmelie wondered when he saw it. Even Samuel, who stayed for so long, didn’t notice at all.
William said, “At least put on a Band-Aid ”
“It’s just a scratch. It Il heal in a few days.”
William applied ointment to the wound with a cotton swab. “You'll see if it heals when you die from tetanus,” he
said.
Indeed, Emelie thought to herself that a leopard couldn’t change its spot.
After treating one hand, William went to take her other hand. However, Emelie had already taken charge,
handling the tweezers and cotton balls herself.

you. Why trouble yourself?”
“I've always relied on myself.”
“You do know you're not likable.”
Emelie got his point, sensing his disapproval of her independence. She smirked and said, “I don’t need to please
anyone.”
Under the lamplight, William's face looked fair and handsome, with calm, dark eyes.
Emelle focused on her wound, not caring about his reaction. Atter applying the cintment, she politely suggested
he go back and rest.
“Thanks for the first aid lot, Mr. Middleton. I'm flaenow. You should rest”
Williams casually undid a button, saying “You're fine, but I'm not.”
Emelle realized he wanted her to help him with the wound on his back.
She calmly declined, saying, “I asked you three times in the car if you needed to go to the hospital, and you said
no. If you need help now, ask Mr. Gleamfieldor Mr. Swanson.”
Willam raised an eyebrow. “Was 1 injured while trying to save Jayden or Samuel?”
“I didn’t cause your injury, Mr. Middleton,” Emelle clarified. “I saw it clearly. You didn’t shieldfrom the blow;
you just didn’t dodge it in time. And a reminded you to letgo, but you thought you could handle it’
William huffed and said, “Didn't Tcto find
Emelie objectively analyzed, “Without Ms. May, | wouldn't be in this trouble. And she targetedbecause of
you. So, ultimately, it’s you who causedharm.”
William chuckled coldly.
Emelie was certainly clear-headed, rational, and logical.
He suddenly held her chin. “Emehe, have you heard this saying?
Emelie frowned.
William's voice was chilly and low. “What you believe isn’t always the truth.
“What?” Emelie was puzzled.
“This isn’t the first tyou've been a smartass-who told you | was going to trade you for the project?”
