Chapter 199

Handsome Housekeeper A large part of the silk fabric was already stuck to the wound,
and the blood had dried up.

With trembling hands, Justin tried to remove Maverick’s shirt twice, but to no avail.

However, he could already see the large, bloody wound caused by the whip.

Maverick’s skin and flesh had been split open.

“Oh my gosh! Who did this? They genuinely didn’t spare you any mercy!” Justin used to be a fighter for
a black market organization where the rules were strict, and it was normal for less competent fighters to
be beaten to death.

Fortunately, he did not get beaten up too often.

Maverick, on the other hand, lived a refined lifestyle and was, therefore, not accustomed to sustaining
such severe injuries.

Quickly, Maverick hushed Justin up.

“Don’t yell.

Close the door and windows and draw the curtains.

If you can’t remove my shirt, just apply a warm towel to my back.

” “Okay, okay.

” Justin did as he was told and hurried to the bathroom to grab a warm towel.



He could not bear to see Maverick in pain, so he said, “Mr. Wright, the warm compress may hurt, so…
please bear with it.

” Applying a warm towel to the wound was akin to experiencing the burning pain again.

Maverick trembled as a thick layer of cold sweat covered his body.

He gripped the pillow with both hands until it became deformed.

Even though Justin did not get beaten up often, he was experienced in treating the wounds of other
people.

He took an anti-inflammatory pill from the first-aid kit and stuffed it inside Maverick’s mouth.

Then, he brought over a basin of water to clean the bloodstains on the man’s back.

The old bandage on Maverick’s body was already soiled, so it had to be removed.

“Mr. Wright, who assaulted you? Apart from Ms. Shalders, who would dare to do this to you…” Justin
widened his eyes and asked softly, “Did Ms. Shalders actually do this?” Feeling dizzy, Maverick buried
his face in the blanket, refusing to entertain Justin.

After pondering over the subject, Justin realized something was amiss.

“It can’t be Ms. Shalders.

If it were her, you wouldn’t have asked me to treat your wound secretly.

” “Stop making wild guesses and hurry up.

I need to cook before Gwendolyn returns,” Maverick snapped.



He’s already in very bad shape, especially with the wound on his lower back.

Even walking will hurt.

Yet, he still wants to get up and cook? Justin felt really bad for Maverick.

He let out a sigh.

Wanting to ensure that Gwendolyn and the other bodyguards did not notice the torn shirt, he decided to
hide the shirt under the bed after failing to think of a better solution at the moment.

Disinfecting the wound with iodine was not as painful as compared to alcohol.

He took a cotton swab and applied some iodine on Maverick’s back, taking him quite a while to treat
the wound.

Initially, Maverick already had a bandage around the burn on the middle of his lower back.

This time, Justin had to bandage the man’s entire back and waist instead.

As Maverick insisted on getting out of bed, Justin had no choice but to give the former another shot of
antibiotics.

Half an hour later, Gwendolyn returned to the villa.

She was accompanied by Jasmine, a lively young woman who was chattering away cheerfully.

Jasmine studied the villa from top to toe and clung to Gwendolyn’s arm playfully.

“Not bad, Gwendolyn! I didn’t expect your villa to be situated in such a lovely environment.



Coming here is definitely the right choice! Let me stay here for a few more days, please!” Unfazed,
Gwendolyn spoke firmly.

“As agreed, it’ll only be for three days.

When the time comes, I’ll have my bodyguard escort you onto the plane back to Salinsburgh.

” Jasmine pouted and murmured sadly, “Hmph! You’re so heartless, Gwendolyn.

” “Don’t start,” Gwendolyn replied with a softened tone.

“We can’t have any more incidents like the one at the bar today.

If you want to stay with me for a few days, you need to behave yourself, okay?” “Okay!” The two of
them entered the villa joyfully.

As soon as Gwendolyn opened the door, she was greeted by the enticing aroma of food and
instinctively directed her gaze at the kitchen.

Didn’t I tell him to rest before I left? Why did he still get up to cook? Maverick sensed the women’s
presence and came out of the kitchen.

Immediately, Gwendolyn realized that he had changed into a dark silk shirt.

The two buttons on his collar were slightly undone to reveal part of his collarbone, and he seemed to
have washed his hair too, for it was not completely dry.

Furthermore, he exuded an irresistible charm with his exquisite and handsome features.

It also looked like his condition and complexion had improved significantly.



“Why aren’t you wearing a coat? Have you taken your cold medicine?” Although she sounded as
indifferent as ever, she had expressed concern for him as soon as she came home, which warmed
Maverick’s heart.

“You said you’ll check on me tonight, so I didn’t wear a coat.

” As he spoke, he pulled up his shirt to reveal the bandage on his back.

“I did get a minor injury during the day, but as you can see, it’s been treated and bandaged properly.

” Gwendolyn remained silent.

Jasmine, on the other hand, stared intently at his face and exclaimed, “Gwendolyn, who is he? He’s so
handsome! You have such good taste.

The men around you all look top-notch!” When they were at Realm Bar previously, Maverick was
already injured when Jasmine arrived, so she did not get a good look at his face.

This time, upon seeing his face clearly, she could not keep her eyes off him.

“He’s my housekeeper,” answered Gwendolyn emotionlessly.

“Is he just a housekeeper?” Jasmine’s eyes lit up.

“Can I borrow him for a few days, then?” “No,” Gwendolyn rejected with a frown without a second
thought.

Seeing Jasmine stare at Maverick like a piece of meat pissed Gwendolyn off.

She glared at the man and ordered, “Wear your clothes properly! You look so unpresentable.

And go upstairs to put on your coat before coming back down.



” “All right.

” He nodded obediently without glancing at Jasmine, buttoning his shirt hastily before heading upstairs.

Jasmine tugged at Gwendolyn’s sleeve playfully, still refusing to give up.

“I can’t believe even your housekeeper is so handsome! You’re usually busy with work and hardly have
time to hang out with me.

Gwendolyn, you’re the best! Just let him accompany me for a couple of days, pretty please!” The
crease between Gwendolyn’s eyebrows grew deeper.

“No, it’s non-negotiable.

” “Gwendolyn…” “Time to eat!” Jasmine pouted and followed the woman into the dining room
reluctantly.

After dinner, Gwendolyn selected a relatively clean room for Jasmine on the third floor.

They chatted for a while before the former went back to her own room to retire for the night.

The following morning, at only six o’clock, Nico printed out the documents on behalf of Charles and
delivered them to Bay Villa personally.

He feared that he would get chewed out after that business of drugging Elven and the other
bodyguards.

Therefore, he decided to wait at the villa’s backdoor.

Maverick came out to collect the documents by himself.



His expression grew solemn as he skimmed through them.

At once, he went upstairs and knocked on Gwendolyn’s room door.

However, there was no response from her after ages.

Is she in a deep slumber? After thinking about it, he decided to let it slide.

Indeed, it’s still too early.

I’ll talk to her after she wakes up instead.

Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, he saw the woman walking down the hallway, dressed
casually and holding a cardboard box.

“Were you outside?” Gwendolyn regarded him languidly.

“No, I merely went to the front door to collect a parcel.

” There are so many bodyguards at the villa.

Since when does she collect parcels on her own? What’s so special about that parcel? In spite of his
curiosity, Maverick did not ask any further questions.

She walked past him and opened the door to her bedroom.

“If you have something to tell me, come in.

” He followed her inside and handed her the documents that were given to him by Nico.

“It’s from Charles.

Take a look.



” “All right.

” Despite her acknowledgment, Gwendolyn did not even glance at the documents.

Rather, she was focused on opening the parcel.

Inside the cardboard box lay a box of ointment.

She handed it to him.

“Take it.

” Maverick stared at her, lost in thought.

Did she… buy this for me?
