Looking at the scars on his shoulder blades, Emily's heart tightened suddenly.
It seemed that every injury on this man was because of her.
Her tears, which had just been held back, blurred her vision again, and she took a breath and began to apply medicine to his wounds.
Even with his back to her, Baron Stuart could tell her feelings were off in those brief moments of silence.
Suddenly, he turned his chair around, facing Emily, stretching out his hand and pulling her into his arms, sitting her on his lap.
Emily was shocked and couldn't understand his sudden move, but then she met a pair of determined eyes and that handsome face.
"I don't like to see you cry," Baron said to her, calmly.
However, this sentimental moment only lasted three seconds. The next second, his playful voice said, "You're not that pretty to begin with, and crying makes you even uglier..."
"..." Emily was taken aback.
