Chapter 320:
Annabel conceded helplessly.
He had been hurt saving her, after all.
Trying not to stare at his abs, Annabel took the iodine from the first-aid kit and carefully cleaned Rupert’s wound.
Rupert noticed how flushed her face was, and he couldn’t stop the smile that spread across his own.
After a lot of awkward fumbling and effort, she finally managed to bind his wound. “Now put your shirt back on!” Annabel snapped in a sour tone as she sorted and repacked the first-aid kit.
Rupert did as he was told with effortless grace. Once he was finished, he presented Annabel with the plush toy.
“Annabel, this is for you. Don’t say no, okay?” Rupert’s tone was firm and irresistible.
Annabel was caught up in the romance, and her heart began to beat faster.
The memory of him throwing himself in front of a knife to save her flashed through her mind.
It wasn’t the first time he had saved her.
When the warehouse exploded, Rupert had protected her with his body without hesitation.
When Nina tried to stab her, he had rushed forward to shield her.
Rupert had saved her again and again.

“Thank you, Rupert.” Annabel reached out and took the plush cat.

Rupert’s blood had stained the plush cat. Part of its white fur had turned dark red.
As soon as Annabel took the cat, Rupert chuckled.
“Are you no longer angry?” Rupert said lovingly, pulling Annabel into his arms. “What I told you the day before was from the bottom of my heart. Put your faith in me, okay p>
Annabel smiled slightly and said nothing.
She gently pushed Rupert away. “Let go of me p>
“You smiled. Does this imply that you are no longer angry with me?” Rupert asked in a low, husky voice.
“Does it matter if I’m angry or not?” Annabel patted the plush cat in her hand tenderly.
“Yes, it is very important to me,” Rupert responded in a serious tone while staring at Annabel.
Annabel pursed her lips and remained silent.
Rupert also stayed quiet for a moment before asking, “What happened in the restroom just now p>
“Nothing. It’s just that Annie hates me, so she hired two goons to abduct me,” Annabel stated indifferently.
