Wounded?
Maria frowned and subconsciously wiped her face.
"Sizzle ——!"
When she touched the left side of her face, she felt that on the left side of her face, someone had scratched a wound with her fingernails. It's not very deep, but it still hurts when your fingers touch it.
"Don't move."
The man clasped her hand in anguish, and the other hand carefully held her face.
"Why not run?"
After all, she had been a martial arts stand-in for five years, and he didn't believe that she couldn't escape on that occasion.
Why did she stand there stupidly and let them surround her?
Maria pursed her lips.
"I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, you will come, what if you can't find me?"
And the women didn't overdo it for her, just said something ugly around her. For these, she has long been immune.
When she was tricked by Belinda, into getting tapped and giving someone a surrogacy, she had heard and survived a thousand times more difficult than this.
Xavier was angry at her reason.
"Then you can't run away first, and then call me and tell me to pick you up in another place?"
Do you have to let those women around?
It wasn't that he hadn't heard what the women were saying just now. Those incomprehensible words simply refreshed his cognition.
Maria raised her eyes, and those crystalline eyes looked at him.
But I don't have your mobile contact."
This made Xavier speechless.
Didn't she have his mobile contact?
"You didn't give it to me."
She pursed her lips.
"I have the mobile contact of Liam and Lexy......"
Not saying a word, he took her phone with a cold face and entered his number. In typing the name, he frowned and quietly saved it with 'Sweet'.
After doing all this, the man indifferently handed her the phone.
"Now you have my private mobile number. Don't do such stupid things in the future."
Maria flattened her lips and silently put away her mobile phone. She saw what he used to save his name. Although she would have preferred baby but then 'sweet' also seem nice to the ears.
The atmosphere in the car was silently somewhat awkward. She pursed her lips, just trying to find some topic, then her jaw was buckled by him.
His bottomless eyes stared at the wound on the left side of her face.
"Does it still hurt?"
She shook her head hurriedly.
"It doesn't hurt."
He stared at her again for a moment.
"Turn around and go to Authur's hospital."
Still want to go to the hospital?
Maria hurriedly waved her hand.
"No, it's just a little scratch."
"No."
Xavier refused with a cold face.
"Ria, you must remember that you will be an actor in the future. Your face is important. You can't just get hurt."
In fact, she wants to say that this kind of small injury can be covered with concealer. But this his concern for her, made her bow her head, and there was a little joy and a little sweetness in her heart.
That's... Go ahead.
"Oops this hurt!"
Arriving at the hospital, Authur frowned and looked at Maria's wound.
"This injury is still in time. If only you had come a little later......"
His serious look made Xavier twist his eyebrows fiercely in anxiousness.
"What would have happened?"
Authur sighed.
"A little later, it will heal on its own!"
Saying, he took out a Band-Aid and attached it to Maria's wound.
"It's over."
Looking at Xavier's livid face, Maria couldn't help but smile and bend over.
"You see, I said it was all right."
"Go get the medicine."
Authur casually wrote a name on the paper next to him and handed it to Xavier.
"I prescribed her an ointment, and after the wound was scabbed, there was no trace at all."
Xavier handed it to Kelly with a cold face.
"You go by yourself."
Authur glanced at him.
"Only this way can we have your sincerity."
Xavier looked at him coldly, but he really turned around and left with Kelly at his trail.
After he left, Authur couldn't help but smile and look at Maria and held out his hand to her.
"I'm Authur. I'm a friend to your husband. "
Maria shook hands with him politely.
"Hello."
She had seen this Doctor before, but she didn't expect that the relationship between him and Xavier could be so good.
He was also the first person she had ever seen who dared to joke with Xavier.
"He's really got a thing on you."
Authur turned his head and glanced at the direction Xavier had left.
"Otherwise, how could a person like him be so worried because of such a small injury?"
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Maria.
"Xavier is not very expressive, and he will not take the initiative to tell you many things. But I know him quite well, and if you have any doubts or understandings about him, you can tell me. I will surely know and I'll surely tell you everything I know."
Maria paused, and only then did she understand that Authur had deliberately sent Xavier out in order to tell her these things. Her heart warmed slightly.
"Thank you."
Xavier has such a friend, and she was actually quite pleased.
"Thanks for what?"
Authur waved his hand.
"I should thank you."
"Huh."
"Without you, I would wonder if he would be alone and grow old all by himself. You're the first woman he falls in love with."
Maria's face turned red.
"He...... Is not in love with me."
She couldn't believe what Authur said. Xavier was indeed very good to her, but all this was because she is his wife.
"And."
Maria's eyes darkened.
The first woman he likes should be Liam and Lexy's mother, right?"
"She's not."
Authur directly denied.
"At the beginning, Xavier wanted to give her a home, and after she died, he also swore that he would never marry a wife again in this life."
"It's just......"
Maria frowned.
"Just what?"
"It's just that before the woman died, she asked him to find a mother for her two children. Although he didn't want to accept it, as the two little ones grew up, he slowly felt that they really needed a mother."
So......
That's why he married her only by virtue of his preferences for Liam and Lexy.
"Well, let's not talk about that."
As if feeling that the topic was a little heavy, Authur laughed.
"Let me tell you something very interesting."
Maria hearing this quickly focused.
"You certainly don't know, in fact, that man had a female phobia before. I've been treating him for almost five years!"
Maria was stunned. She never thought the so high and mighty Xavier McCarthy could have such.
"Leprechaun?"
"Yes!"
Authur was overwhelmed.
"Before, there were women in his company who wanted to seduce him, and most of the night wore sexy pajamas to his room. Do you know what he did?"
Maria shook her head.
" He threw them all out without mercy! There was a particular one very pretty... What a tyrannical creature..."
"Then I'll get her back and give it to you."
Before Authur's words were finished, he was directly interrupted by Xavier's cold voice.
The man in the white coat shivered slightly at the suddenness of his voice.
"Back, back."
Authur smiled stiffly and turned his head to wink at Maria.
Maria understood, and quickly stood up and walked to Xavier's side.
"Sweet, let's go back."
She intentionally called him the name he used on her phone.
Xavier looked at Authur coldly and took Maria away.
"What did he say to you?"
Back in the car, he asked with a cold face.
"Nothing, just your feminophobia..."
Seeing that his face turned black to a degree visible to the naked eye, Maria hurriedly spoke.
"Actually, this is nothing. I also had misogyny before."
His brow furrowed at her tightly, obviously in disbelief.
"Really."
Maria looked at him seriously.
"I went to see a psychiatrist so many times and I can't stand any man touching me. I would rather collapse than see it happen."
"And later?"
Her little face blushed slightly.
"I discovered that when I married you, I was healed without any medications."
