RedNovelChapter 236 Worried Benson had once promised to protect her, but he kept hurting her for the sake of other women.
Theo, on the other hand, truly meant what he said and followed through! Noticing the shift in her mood, Theo didn't press further but instead changed the subject. "You haven't checked your phone since you got on stage. Aren't you curious about what netizens are saying about you now?" Sierra's curiosity was piqued. She reached for it, then paused, remembering her dress had no pockets. She had given her phone to Madison for safekeeping.
Seeing her disappointed expression, he handed her his phone without hesitation. Sierra was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and accepted it.
When Nathan arrived, he was almost in disbelief. The usually stoic Theo held a woman in his arms, their heads intimately close as they looked at the phone.
It wasn't until Sierra heard him and stood up to greet him that Nathan snapped out of it.
"Dr. Cohen, his shoulder was injured in a collision. He's bleeding quite a bit. Could you bandage it for him?" Nathan nodded, placing the medical kit he carried on the coffee table. Glancing at the bloodstained shirt, he exclaimed, "Wow, how did this happen? It looks pretty serious." Sierra looked guilty and uneasy. "Uncle Theo got hurt saving me. I should have been injured, but he stepped in and took the hit instead." Theo held her hand, saying, "I'm glad it wasn't you who got hurt." Nathan looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. "Mr. Gray, I'll need to remove your shirt to treat the wound.

Sierra, however, was visibly nervous, clutching her hands tightly. She craned her neck to watch the process, not daring to blink.
Theo's clothes were stuck to the wound with dried blood, so Nathan had to use scissors to cut the shirt open. Then, he slowly peeled away the fabric using the saline solution.
Throughout the procedure, Theo showed no sign of pain, though the muscles in his arm were visibly tense.
Watching from the side, Sierra felt a pang of his pain. Instinctively, she leaned in and blew gently on the wound.
The warm breath against his shoulder made Theo's back muscles twitch. His well-defined muscles and prominent veins stood out as he held Sierra.
Sierra looked at him, confused, not understanding why he suddenly pulled her into an embrace.
Theo's eyes flickered with helplessness. "Sierra, stop blowing." He was no saint-if she kept blowing...
To avoid an awkward situation, he had to stop her.
Nathan continued his task, stealing glances at Sierra out of the corner of his eye. She wore a black dress with an ill-fitting and mismatched suit jacket draped over it -clearly someone else's.
The closeness and ease between the two of them radiated intimacy.
He couldn't help but wonder who this woman was. How on earth did she manage to win over Theo? Though he found their way of addressing each other a bit odd-was this skind of rich people's quirk? Sierra, still held close by Theo, couldn't resist turning her head to look.
As the disinfectant cleared the blood, Theo's shoulder wound was finally exposed.
A gash about two to three inches long, still oozing blood.

Nathan examined the wound carefully, pressing around it a few times.
"The cut isn't too deep, so stitches won't be necessary.
"The bone is fine, but the muscles and ligaments are injured. Your arm will be affected for the next few days, so try not to strain it.
"I'll stop the bleeding first and give you santibiotics. Make sure to keep it dry for the next few days. "Stick to a light diet-avoid anything spicy or seafood..."
Nathan gave a list of instructions, and Sierra nodded obediently. M memorizing each one.
