MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 45

Nina came to her senses and said firmly, “I’m not afraid of pain.”

When she was learning martial arts, she often got injured and did not complain. Little scabs on her feet were nothing.

“I won’t laugh at you if you flinch. That’s normal,” Noah chuckled. ‘What a stubborn girl,’ he thought.

“This will hurt, but I’ll try to be gentle. Just soldier on.” Noah proceeded to moisten a cotton swab with alcohol to clean Nina’s wounds.

On the other hand, Nina sat back and tried to relax.

As soon as she relaxed herself, Noah started treating her wounds. When the cotton swab made contact with her torn skin, she pulled away. She accidentally kicked the cotton swab off Noah’s hand, and it fell to the floor.

“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Noah turned his head to look at Nina. “I haven’t done this to a girl before, so I don’t know how to do it. I’m sorry. I’ll be gentler.”

“No, no. It doesn’t hurt. I was just startled.” Nina grinned. This time, she took the initiative to stretch out her foot, pursed her lips, and made a small suggestion. “Could you please get a small fan for me? The alcohol really stings.”

Noah chuckled. For some reason, he found Nina cute just now.

“I don’t have a small fan. It’ll only sting for a second anyway. Just put up with it.”

“Okay.” She had to bear the pain. John was looking for her, and she could only ask for Noah’s help. It was impossible for her to be taken care of by others as if she was in C Island.

Noah took out another cotton swab and moistened it with alcohol. As he dabbed the cotton swab on Nina’s wound, he blew on it gently. His breath with the alcohol felt cold against her skin, neutralizing the pain. She felt relieved.

“Does it still hurt?” Noah stopped blowing and looked at Nina.

Nina shook her head. “No, it doesn’t hurt. Thank you. You are much smarter than my brother. He actually spent a lot of time and energy looking for a little fan.”

“Really? My aunt taught me this.” Noah proceeded to clean the wounds on Nina’s feet.

“I met your aunt earlier tonight. She’s lovely, passionate, and kind.” When Kristina asked her about the lollipops earlier tonight, Nina found her to be a little overbearing. But at the same time, her toughness was coming from a place of love, and Nina appreciated that.

“My aunt? Does that mean you already know who I am?” Noah paused and thought about the moment when he saw Nina running out of the Ye family’s garden.

She was wearing a dress, and he was sure that she had attended Vivian’s birthday party.

Noah had no plans of returning home, but when he heard that Vivian was going to be engaged to John, he thought he ought to be there as Vivian’s step-brother.

He had just reached there when Nina came to him and asked for help. He turned the car around and drove away. Nina leaned forward and said, “You’re a member of the Ye family, and you work as a policeman. And I admire you for that.”

Noah was born to inherit a vast fortune. Honestly, he did not have to study and work to become a policeman. He could just sit around and still have a large sum of money to his name, and countless girls would be lining up to seduce him.

He could be just like John. Wherever John went, he was the focus. Countless women looked at him and admired him, especially Vivian.

Nina then recalled John refused to let Vivian call him Brother John anymore.

She pursed her lips and smiled. She did not expect that John would remember the nonsense she talked about when she was drunk.

Also, she could not forget how John announced their relationship earlier at the party. “Nina is my legal wife.”

John’s gentle and firm voice still rang in her ears as if he were still making the announcement next to her.

‘Wait!’

The smile on Nina’s face slowly receded. How could she think of John, that liar?

John had known who her husband was, but he did not tell her. He even threatened her every day with twenty million dollars’ worth of compensation and made fun of her.

Now he wanted to take her back to North Yard as if nothing happened?

‘How can you miss him?’ Nina told herself.

How she wished she could slap herself across the face. ‘Why are you thinking about him right now? You want to divorce him, right?’

“There’s nothing to admire. I just do what I love. To be honest, I admire you. You left C Island, left your family, and came to Lexingport City by yourself.” Noah did not know much about Nina’s background.

According to Nina’s temperament, calmness, and martial arts skills, he could only guess that she was from C Island and was not from an ordinary family. And there had always been something unusual and hidden in her eyes. She was unlike ordinary girls.

Noah thought that Nina had many secrets.

“Really? I just don’t want to be controlled by my family.” Nina curled her lips.

Talking about her home and her family was still a little difficult for her. Even if she had willingly turned her back on them, she still missed them.

“Me, too. My aunt has always wanted me to take over the family business. But I prefer my current life. It’s very meaningful to me.” At this time, Noah had finished cleaning Nina’s wounds. He set her foot gently on the sofa and took out some hemostatic medicine from the medicine box. After hesitating for a while, he put it back.

“What’s wrong? Can’t that medicine be used?” Nina asked suspiciously.

“It can be used. In fact, I usually use this medicine. But you’re a girl. This medicine can’t eliminate scars. Wait for me to call a doctor for you.” For men, it was not a big deal to have a scar, but for women, it was not good.

Noah stood up and went to the balcony. He called his private doctor and told him about Nina’s wounds.

When he was about to put away his phone, he received some news. He turned his head to look at Nina who was sitting quietly on the sofa.

Noah just heard that Nina was John’s wife.

Putting his phone in his pocket, Noah walked toward Nina and comforted her, “The doctor will be here soon, Nini. We’ll just have to wait for now.”

“Why are you being so kind to me?” Nina blinked her bright eyes. When she smiled, her white teeth showed, and it was a pure and beautiful sight.

“I’m your senior. I’m supposed to take care of you.” Noah smiled gently. He could tell from the expression on Nina’s face that she was missing home, although she would not admit it.

He turned around and poured a glass of water for Nina.

Nina could not help feeling a little touched. She took the glass of water from Noah’s hand and drank it, feeling much more relaxed.

“I may have to stay here to hide out for a while.” What happened tonight left her mind in such a mess.

She was worried.

“You can stay for as long as you want, Nini. But won’t Mr. Shi be worried?” Noah then decided to tell her the truth. “After all, he has just announced your marriage to the public.”

When he said this, he felt something heavy in his heart.

“What?” With a shocked look on her face, Nina went still.

Noah took out his phone again, clicked on the hot headlines, and handed it to Nina. “There are also photos of your marriage licenses.”

“What the hell?” Nina could only stare at the photo on Noah’s phone. “Did he release the photo to the public? Doesn’t he care about his reputation?”

She clearly remembered the photo. John was not exactly dashing in that photo.

However, when she took a closer look at the photo, she found that the photo she saw on the phone was different from the one she had seen earlier.

“John, you shameless bastard!” Nina bellowed. He was absolutely brazen. He had his photo retouched to make himself look handsome.
