Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 732

Carter glanced at her, silently pressing his lips together. After a two-second hesitation, he sat down on the edge of a nearby planter and slowly rolled up his pant leg.

When Anastasia saw the raw, bloody wound on his knee, she gasped. She looked up in astonishment. "How can you tolerate that kind of pain? If you'd just shown them this injury, you could have been the one demanding he pay your medical bills, not the other way around!"

Putting it together with what Carter had said earlier, it was easy to guess that the old man had deliberately run out in front of him, causing him to crash.

Carter gave a sheepish smile but didn't say anything.

Anastasia realized then that he had a shy, gentle smile.

It was hard to believe that a face so similar to her hubby's could make such an expression. She pictured Harrison with that same smile and shuddered, quickly shaking her head to clear the image.

"Wait here for a moment."

After a quick look around, Anastasia ran to the nearest pharmacy, bought some first-aid supplies, and quickly returned to the planter.

She skillfully and carefully cleaned Carter's wound. In no time, she stood up. "There—"

As she looked up, she was once again met with Carter's steady gaze. The moment she caught him, he quickly lowered his eyes, his long lashes hiding his expression, reverting to his taciturn demeanor.

Anastasia felt it was a bit strange. "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"...I'm not." He looked flustered, clearly a terrible liar. The words came out with great difficulty.

Just as Anastasia was about to say something else, her phone rang. It was Harrison.

"Didn't you say you were coming to the office today? Where are you?"

Her face immediately broke into a bright smile, her eyes lighting up. "I'm on my way! I'll be there soon!"

After hanging up, she was no longer in the mood to chat with Carter. "I have to go. Can you get a cab home on your own?"

Sensing the polite distance in her tone, a flash of bitterness crossed Carter's eyes. "Yes."
