A Miracle Fault

Chapter 17 Got Wounded

Behind her there was a big tree, it was then she noticed that she was left no room to step back.

Before she could take action, the wolf suddenly pounced on her. She mustered up courage to hold the tree and ran around to dodge the attack. Her legs were rendered so feeble that she couldn't run even a bit faster.

However, the wolf missed the attack. He turned around and pounced on her again while his sharp claw scratched her shoulder.

The cloth on her shoulder was immediately ripped off. And she started to bleed.

Emmeline held back the great pain and stepped back out of instinct. But she stumbled again because of another rope behind. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

When smelling the blood, the wolf seemed to be thrilled even more. He pounced on her for several times but she still managed to dodge. However, the wolf still had no intention to give up.

Emmeline was rendered frightened and feeble. The wound on her body felt like burning. She slumped down beside the tree.

When the wolf pounced on her again, she closed her eyes. She was so weak that she no longer had enough strength to fight this wolf.

'Just kill me! Everything will be over!'

"Pes!" suddenly, a roar of a man sounded.

When the wolf was about to initiate another attack, he suddenly turned around when hearing that. Then he saw a man in black standing behind.

The wolf went over and rubbed his head against that man.

"Go back to your nest!"

Emmeline tried hard to open her eyes. She only saw that a man in black walked over and bent over to hold her up. Then she fainted away.

A few minutes ago, the alarm of the basement in the villa suddenly sounded. Paul hurried to check what was going on. He suddenly saw Emmeline go into the forest, where the wolf, Pes, was kept.

He immediately reported it to Stefan.

So Paul grabbed a mask and rushed out to follow him.

Stefan ran so fast that he soon reached the spot where Emmeline encountered Pes. If he had arrived a bit later, she could be turned into the dinner of Pes.

What a bold girl! She even dared to step into the forest on her own. If it weren't for the fact that he made a warning alarm here, no one knew that this timid girl would actually break into this horrible place.

Stefan took her, who was wet by blood all over, back to the villa. He called his family doctor here.

Her clothes were ripped off and her wounded skin was exposed in the air. Blood kept dropping down. Her face still looked pale. And she missed one of her shoes.

Stefan was quite surprised that his heart actually ached when he saw that. He couldn't help letting out a mocking smile, 'She belongs to Frank, doesn't she? Why should I feel sorry for her? Am I out of my mind?'

However, when seeing the bed sheet getting horribly red because of her blood, he looked agitated, "Stanch her wound, right now!"

The doctor was rendered frightened when seeing his face. He hurried to stanch her wound.

Soon, the doctor turned around and said to Stefan, "Master Stefan, it was just a mere wound on her skin. She fainted away because of fear. I have bandaged her wound. She will wake up after sleep. And I injected her with a dose of antidote. After all, Pes lives in the forest."

"Okay." Stefan still frowned while looking at her.

After the doctor left, he also rolled the wheelchair to leave the room.

Emmeline was suffering a high fever in the middle of the night because of wound and scare. As the doctor had left, Stefan told Madison to help her get changed.

He stood beside the floor-to-ceiling windows while smoking. He stared at the night sky, feeling agitated. He turned around and entered the room of Emmeline.

Her face looked illy red under the dim light. Suddenly, he saw her trembling in the quilt.

'What happen? It's April now. It shouldn't be cold.'

He tiptoed forward and saw her face burning red and she was still trembling.

He reached out his hand to touch her forehead. It felt burning hot.

She had a fever!

However, Emmeline felt like being thrown into a pool of freezing cold water. Feeling dull, she seemed to notice that there was someone nearby. But she felt great pain on her wound.

"I am cold…I am hurt…Dad!" Emmeline was rendered sick. Stefan immediately lifted the quilt and was about to hold her up to go to the hospital.

However, he was stunned, 'Why should I care about her so much?'

He then tucked her in again and was about to notice the family doctor. Suddenly, her little hand grabbed his.

"I feel cold…"

Emmeline grabbed one of his hands. She mistook him for her dad as she was still faint. She kept telling herself that only her father would stay by her side when she was sick.

She grabbed his hand hard and leaned into his arms. Her body was still burning hot.

Stefan didn't come with his wheelchair. He sat on the bedside. When Emmeline approached, he hugged her tiny body out of instinct.

She was wearing neat pajamas. Her hot body clung to his chest. Stefan couldn't help stiffening. His mind suddenly went blank.

"Dad…I feel cold…and it hurts…" Emmeline grabbed his clothes while murmuring.

Stefan hugged her and covered her with quilt. He then turned on the heater. But she still clung to his arms, saying that she felt cold. He had to lie down while hugging her. Though she was still burning hot, she kept saying that she was chilled.

Stefan kept his lips pressed and hugged her tight. But he tried not to touch her wound. He lifted the quilt and covered her gently. He looked incredibly warm.

He frowned and had no idea why he was so softhearted.

He kept telling himself in his mind that she was the girlfriend of Frank.

However, he still couldn't help protecting her. Her pure and innocent eyes really impressed him every time he saw her.

He couldn't believe that this girl was Anayah Campbell, the spoiled one.

'Dad? Why do you call me dad? Do I look that old?'

Emmeline finally fell asleep when feeling the warmth. Stefan looked at her tiny little face. Her delicate face was red while her forehead was covered with mere fluff.

He could smell the scent of fragrance from her body. It felt so good.

Soon, Emmeline started to sweat and got wet all over.

He let go of her. He was about to ask Madison to get her changed again. However, it was 2:00 AM now. He frowned and slowly got himself out of the quilt.

He went to the closet to get another suit of pajamas. He lifted the quilt and took off her wet pajamas.

He thought to himself, 'Though she was the girlfriend of Frank, now she is my wife and she is sick. I should help to get her changed.'

When he stripped her off, her fair body was revealed in front of him. Her body was attractive. The wounds were still clearly seen as if plum blossoms fell on fair snow, which rendered him intoxicated.

He couldn't help but swallow. Of course he had encountered a lot of ladies and girls. However, he had barely seen any naked ones.

Actually, Jaiden had presented a lot of girls in front of him for several times. But he didn't even touch anyone of them.

Once there was one of those girls stripping off and she stood nakedly in front of him. He still showed a poker face.

He just deemed those girls pieces of flesh even though they stood in front of him with their naked bodies.
