Chapter 1381 Her Tender Trap
She scrolled all the way down but didn't find any flirtatious chats between Jerry and other women.
Moreover, her own WhatsApp account was the only one pinned at the top.
Charlotte knew that this WhatsApp account was the only one Jerry had, and his work account was
managed by his assistant.
She instantly understood that there was no woman coming at all. It was just Jerry trying to provoke her
on purpose, and this realization instantly put her mind at ease.
“Your hand is injured. Let me get the first aid kit.”
The recording of the conversation was already out in the open, so Charlotte wouldn't be foolish enough
to argue with him. Instead, she quickly changed the subject and got up from the couch, taking a first aid
kit from the cabinet under the LCD television.
Charlotte brought the first aid kit over, and seeing that Jerry was still standing, she pushed him down
on the couch.
She pulled up Jerry's left hand, only to discover a long gash on the back of his hand caused by a knife.
The skin and flesh were turned outward, making for a shocking sight.
Charlotte felt extremely distressed. “Why didn't you go to the hospital? Doesn't it hurt?”
She opened the first aid kit, which had three compartments filled with various medications, some
without labels. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find a bottle labeled iodine solution, so she
decided to ask Jerry for help.
Jerry's face was expressionless. “I don't know.”
“Didn't I already apologize? Why are you still treating me like this?” Charlotte had never been treated
poorly by others since she was a child.
Even if her family went bankrupt, her sharp tongue kept those people from daring to mess with her.
Charlotte was both annoyed and irritated by him, but when she thought about how he had injured his
hand to save her, her temper quickly subsided.
She took a photo of the medicines in the first aid kit and sent it to Timothy, asking him to help her find
which one was iodine solution. Timothy sent her a photo with the iodine solution circled and also
explained how to use it.
Only then did Charlotte suddenly realize.
In the past, her family had several family doctors on call 24/7, and even for minor colds, these doctors
would take care of it. She had never treated anyone's wounds before.
She only knew that iodine should be used to disinfect scratches, so she asked Joash to go to the
drugstore to buy some iodine.
As for how to apply it, she really had no idea.
Charlotte moistened a cotton swab with iodine and gently wiped Jerry's wound, as the faint scent of the
medicine spread through the air.
Jerry lowered his gaze to look at her, his eyes pitch black, filled with inexplicable, obscure emotion.
As Charlotte took out the gauze and clumsily wrapped it around the wound, after a while, Jerry asked
her, “Do you still remember what you said?”
“I've said many things. Which one are you referring to?” Charlotte asked without lifting her head.
She was pondering how many layers of gauze to wrap around. Would two rounds be enough? She
flipped through the first aid kit again but couldn't find anything to secure the gauze, so she took off her
hair tie. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
The hair tie was looped around the gauze, neither too loose nor too tight, just right.
Jerry withdrew his hand and then pinched the woman's chin, making her lift her head to meet his gaze.
“You never go back on your decision.”
“I don't go back on my decisions, but you're not someone I've left behind.”
Charlotte knew that Jerry was angry, and quite obviously so. Having been together for many years, she
knew exactly how to appease him.
Charlotte took a few steps forward, wrapped her arms around Jerry's neck, and gently kissed him on
his forehead and face. She said coquettishly, “You are my sweetheart, my one and only. Jerry, can you
please stop being angry? These days, I've been feeling really down because I couldn't see you to the
point where I can hardly drink or eat, and I've been constantly asking Fatty how you're doing. If you
don't believe me, you can check his phone.”
She took the man's hand and slipped it inside her robe, pressing his palm directly against her chest.
“Feel my heart. Is it warm and beating fast? It almost stopped beating a few days ago.”
Charlotte had the typical foxy eyes. Without deliberately posing or acting coy, just a casual glance from
her was both charming and enchanting, making people fall for her.
She also knew exactly what to say to please others and would deliberately choose those words to
whisper in their ear.
Jerry was thoroughly annoyed by Charlotte's elusive behavior, like a wind that couldn't be grasped. He
made up his mind to treat her with indifference and not fall into her traps again.
But whenever he saw her, he couldn't maintain his composure and indifference.
