Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Apply Ointment on His Wound

What was she thinking?

Catalina realized she had been meddling in this too much.

There were so many servants attending to Bennett. Why would she worry about him?

Besides, whether to put on the medicine or not was his own business. After all, he was no child. Was it even possible that he couldn't take care of such a minor injury?

But...

When he acted on impulse, he could be as childish as a little boy!

Finally, after thinking it over, Catalina couldn't help but call Ralph.

"Ralph, it's me,"

Catalina said, while her voice sounded a bit hesitant on the phone.

"Mrs. Shaffer?"

Ralph was pleasantly surprised to receive her call.

"Mrs. Shaffer, where are you now? When are you coming back? Shall I arrange for a car to pick you up right now?"

"No, no, it's fine. I don't think I'll go back again."

Catalina suddenly felt sad as she spoke.

Would she never see Ralph or Wendy again?

What a pity!

She should have said goodbye to them before leaving.

"Mrs. Shaffer, you can be angry with Mr. Shaffer, but please don't say that you are never coming back. It could hurt everyone's feelings, including Mr. Shaffer's."

Catalina let out a deep sigh.

She knew that Bennett wouldn't be upset if she didn't return.

But Wendy would.

She should bid Wendy farewell. Leaving without saying anything was indeed a little cruel.

"Ralph, I just wanted to let you know that Bennett's toe is injured, and he feels sick at the sight of blood. Please tell the family doctor to treat his injury on time."

"Mr. Shaffer is injured?"

Ralph got worried and asked, "Is it serious?"

"Don't worry, it's not serious, but he needs to apply ointment on the injury for a couple of days."

"OK, thank you for reminding me, Mrs. Shaffer."

"It's nothing."

"Mrs. Shaffer, you see, you still care about Mr. Shaffer after all. Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me."

Catalina said with a weak smile, "After all, he got injured because of me."

That's right.

Bennett was injured because of her, so she felt obligated to care about him and make this call.

Catalina reassured herself with this thought.

It wasn't until the evening that Bennett returned to the Lake Compound. Ralph had brought the family doctor along with him.

Bennett, stood barefoot on the white Persian carpet, undoing his clothes as he was preparing to take a bath.

Seeing Ralph and the family doctor come over, Bennett furrowed his brows and asked, "What's going on?"

"Mr. Shaffer, your toe is injured. After you take a bath, let the doctor have a check."

Bennett raised his eyebrow and looked down at his toe that had already scabbed over. He asked Ralph, "How did you know that I get injured?"

He didn't even tell Vincent about it.

"It was Mrs. Shaffer who told me this when she called me this evening."

"Catalina?" Bennett was surprised.

He took off his tie and casually threw it on the sofa. Then he asked, "What did she say?"

Ralph hurriedly repeated what Catalina had said on the phone to Bennett.

Certainly, he skipped the part where she said she wouldn't come back.

He didn't dare to mention it.

After hearing Ralph's retelling, it was noticeable that Bennett's tightly knit brows relaxed.

His sullen mood also dissipated instantly.

Immediately, Bennett felt his mood was lifted.
