Chapter 212
The rejection from Winnie Huo was a big slap to Jonathan Dai's self- esteem. When he turned his head and saw Fade's smiling face, he immediately simmered with anger.
He turned and shouted at the bodyguard-like man behind him, "Uncle Karson, throw this good-for- nothing out!" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Upon orders, the sturdy middle- aged bodyguard walked up to Fade grimly, cracking his fists as a sign of dominance. He stared at Fade Chen and threatened, "Boy, do you want me to do it, or do you want to get out on your own?"
Fade gave him a sidelong glance and said flatly, "I want you to get out of my way."
"Boy, what did you say?" The man warned ominously.
"Didn't you hear me? I asked you to get out of here!" Fade picked his ears and provoked, looking down at the man in scorn.
Such an expression immediately angered the bodyguard. He snorted heavily and lashed out fiercely, hitting the stone pillar next to Fade. The sturdy stone pillar cracked with a loud boom as an imprint of a palm appeared on its
surface, and the whole place trembled from the sheer magnitude of force.
Jonathan boasted, "Uncle Karson is my personal bodyguard with the skills of a late-Yellow Level martial artist. Fool, you're dead meat if you provoked him. Haha!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
After all, a late-Yellow Level martial artist was no ordinary person. Even to the rich, they were considered elitists in their field.
Instantly, the crowd could not help but worry for Fade's safety. Some of the older women who had chatted with him just now were secretly trying to convince him to apologize and just give way since one could not simply offend an expert at this level.
Fade knew that they meant well, but he still didn't get up. He said blandly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Seeing this, the bodyguard snorted and mocked, "Boy, since you refuse to accept my goodwill and give up the seat, I'll not hold back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard gave a war cry and threw himself at Fade, a savage look plastered on his face.
Fade narrowed his eyes and was about to fight back.
At this moment, the white- haired Mr. Liu shouted, "Stop!"
At the same time, Mr. Liu's butler rushed in front of Fade and blocked the attack.
No one expected this turn of events, and they all turned to look at the elder.
Jonathan was also briefly stunned. As his eyes fell on Mr. Liu, his attitude took a change as he greeted, "Mr. Liu, why are you here?"
Mr. Liu snorted and said, "I needed to see with my own eyes that you were bullying others."
Jonathan gulped and he scratched his head as he explained, "Mr. Liu, I'm not bullying others. I'm just..."
He tried to look for an excuse when he noticed Winnie on the ground, and quickly covered it up, "Winnie was hurt, so I wanted to find a place for her to rest."
She immediately cleared it up by saying, "Jonathan Dai, don't drag me into your own business."
Jonathan couldn't help but feel awkward as he continued to think up excuses to explain his behaviour.
Mr. Liu snorted as his poor excuse and blatant lies, then turned towards Winnie and said, "Miss, you are injured. Fade is a doctor, you can let him take a look at your injury."
"He is a doctor?" Winnie looked towards Fade in disbelief.
The people around them, however, started to discuss among themselves heatedly.
"Young girl, you have to believe him. Dr. Chen's medical skills are exceptional!"
"Dr. Chen just saved Mr. Liu's life."
"Dr. Chen's medical skills are very outstanding."
The crowd's claims left Winnie in hesitation. Finally, she limped over to Fade slowly and muttered softly, "Doctor Chen, can you help me?"
She wasn't in cahoots with Jonathan, and since she was asking politely, Fade naturally agreed to her request. He made way for her to sit down, and then reached for her long, slender legs, straightening them down on the ground.
Right after that, he used his fingers to gently trace a line on Winnie's jeans. After applying some force, her jeans were ripped apart and turned into a makeshift denim skirt. It barely managed to cover her thighs, and revealed her slender and fair legs.
Winnie's face reddened as she trembled slightly.
Fade noticed her reaction and explained, "If I don't get rid of the clothes, I won't be able to treat the wound properly."
Then, he twisted open a bottle of mineral water and said to her, "I'll clean your wound first. It may hurt a little but please bear with it."
Winnie nodded and allowed him to place her hands on her thigh to hold her legs in place.
The mineral water got in contact with her wound, she twitched in pain. As though he had already expected it, Fade strengthened his hold and held her legs firmly in place. Winnie could almost feel the strong throbbing of his heart on her legs through his clothes.
After cleansing the wound, Fade took out his silver needle and sterilized it under heat. Then, he pricked them around the wound on her knee to stop the bleeding.
In a while, Fade asked the onlookers to help him pick a few types of wild grass from the roadside. After smashing and mixing them together, he applied the paste onto the wound.
Finally, he looked up and smiled as a gesture of comfort at Winnie and said, "Wait for 15 minutes, and your knee will be like brand new."
Winnie was already convinced about Fade's skills after seeing his smooth precision and sharp decisions. She nodded with a sweet smile and thanked him, "Thank you, Dr. Chen."
Fade just waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just a piece of cake."
"It's not a big deal for you, but it's a big deal for me." Winnie said with a smile. Suddenly, a thought popped up in her head and she asked hesitantly, "Dr. Chen, will a scar be left?"
After all, she was an actress who was required to keep up appearances. A scar on her legs would definitely affect her career outlook.
Fade took a look at her legs and commented, "The herbs that have been collected have limited functions and may result in leaving a small scar behind."
"Ah..." Winnie was a little worried.
Fade noticed immediately added on, "You don't have to worry. I can make a new set of ointment to remove the scars without a trace once we head down the mountain to get sufficient herbs."
"Really?" Winnie's eyes glowed as she heard his words. "When will you head down the mountain then?" "Um, well..." Fade thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's exchange contact numbers and I'll contact you after I head down."
"That's great! Thank you so much." Winnie smiled and exchanged her contact numbers with Fade.
The two of them went on chatting, as though they were long-lost friends who had just met. There weren't any signs that showed that they had just met.
When Jonathan saw this, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and looked at Fade in hatred.
