Chapter 87 Kate And Her Superhero

Kate tried pacing herself as her breathing suddenly quickened. She felt her face burn.

This very moment, she felt her heartbeat tripled from the usual speed. She closed her eyes and dared not to even peek.

Alex, on the other hand, was calm. His eyes were fixed only on where they needed to be, focused on the wound. He found the pressure points and pressed them a few times. The bleeding miraculously stopped.

“Missy! This gentleman is indeed a genius! Your wound has stopped bleeding! Look!” the waitress exclaimed excitedly with awe.

Kate was surprised to hear that and quickly opened her eyes. Indeed, the wound that was bleeding profusely just a short while ago had stopped bleeding!

Looking up straight at Alex, she could not see his facial expression behind the mask.

She could only see his clear eyes focused on the task at hand, totally ignoring her beauty.

She felt a little guilty for even raising an immature ruckus and doubting the hero that saved her just now.

All this time, Alex’s right palm was directly pressing against her thigh’s acupuncture points as he utilized his skills to seal off the affected points.

Simultaneously, he was channeling his body’s inner energy through his palm onto the wound.

This is a special healing technique utilizing inner energy – which was one of his hidden skills.

This skill was picked up by Alex from reading the Nine Heaven Scrolls and practicing the instructions therein. Even though it was just a rudimentary skill, it was sufficient to prevent Kate’s entire right leg from bleeding out and causing sequelae later on.

With the constant channeling of energy, Kate felt the numbness of her right leg dissipating, and she could feel her leg again.

However, the most embarrassing part was that while he was healing her thigh, she had accidentally let loose a moan of pleasure.

Realizing the situation, Kate felt a sudden surge of bashfulness. She wished to be spirited away into an unknown, secluded spot where she could just bury herself into the ground…

“Okay, you should be alright now. You can go to the hospital to get your wound stitched. Or if you’re not keen on that, buy these herbs, juice them up and apply them to your wound. It will heal in about ten days,” advised Alex as he listed out the herb names.

Seeing Alex turning to leave, Kate hurriedly asked, “Excuse me, what is your name? Can I have a look at your face?”

Alex was startled, but walked out without turning his head.

Kate stared at his back, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity as if she had seen him somewhere.

“Why does this back view resemble Heather’s useless, good-for-nothing husband? Shush pfftt! How can that trash be measured up to this hero? The very fact that I compare him with a hero is blasphemous in itself. Such a degrading thought! A real disgrace to my savior!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Kate shook her head to get rid of the wild thought. She felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.

Her admired hero sadly did not even leave her any contact nor name. That was something she was deeply disappointed about.

Pulling up her jeans, she got up and generously doled out a dozen banknotes from her LV handbag. She graciously said to the waitress, “Thank you for today from the bottom of my heart.”

“Naww, there’s no need…”

The waitress tried to reject, but Kate grabbed her hand and stuffed the banknotes into her grasp. She accepted them reluctantly.

Kate thanked the waitress and headed towards the exit. Although the wound was no longer painful nor bleeding, she still walked with a limp.

Throwing caution to the wind, she ignored her injury and walked out. She was determined to try to catch a last glimpse of her ‘superhero’.

As she stepped outside, she realized that there was a lot of traffic and pedestrians going to and fro. Her hero had disappeared into the crowd.

She felt disappointed. Hailing a taxi, she headed to the nearest apothecary to search for the herbs that Alex had told her.
