CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 604: APPLYING MEDICINE FOR SOMEONE ELSE

Unexpectedly, the man laughed, his brows and eyes relaxed like stars at the horizon, and he spoke: "Miss, you misunderstood me. I’m not with them."

"Then why are you following us?"

Ivy Kensington said, not letting him think she hadn’t noticed, from when she and the homeless men walked to this area without surveillance, the man quietly followed behind her.

Leo Sherman chuckled: "I saw you coming out of the hospital so late at night all alone and then walking with these people along the way, worried that you might be deceived, so I followed. If I inadvertently caused any trouble, I apologize."

After speaking with a gentle tone, Leo Sherman also advised: "Miss, it’s so late. You should head home sooner, or else your family will worry."

Then, he prepared to turn and leave.

But unexpectedly, one of the homeless men, who had been taught a lesson and couldn’t even crawl off the ground, suddenly grabbed a stone from the ground and hurled it toward Ivy Kensington.

"You vile woman, dare to deceive us, see if I won’t beat you to death!"

The stone was as big as a grown man’s fist; hitting Ivy Kensington would definitely be unpleasant.

The homeless man’s movements were quick, while Ivy Kensington was still talking to Leo Sherman, she didn’t notice this man’s actions for a moment.

By the time she reacted, the stone was about to hit her on the head.

At the critical moment, Leo Sherman, who was about to leave, rushed over and shielded her.

He was tall, and the stone hit his back.

With a heavy "thud", Ivy Kensington heard the sound of the stone hitting the back and then falling to the ground.

She came to her senses, first kicked the stone far away, then quickly supported Leo Sherman.

"Are you okay?"

She truly hadn’t expected a stranger she met just once would take a hit for her.

Although his back was a bit swollen and painful, Leo Sherman didn’t show it, only politely replied: "I’m temporarily fine."

"I’m sorry."

Ivy Kensington apologized, "I didn’t expect you to get hurt."

Then she quickly pulled him away from this place of trouble, luckily it was near the hospital, with many pharmacies around.

Ivy Kensington quickly bought some medicine for swelling.

"Apply this medicine."

It was Yunnan Baiyao spray.

Leo Sherman took it, still smiling gently: "Thank you."

Seeing his good attitude, Ivy Kensington’s guilt deepened, "Would you like to sit down, and I’ll apply the medicine for you?"

After all, the injury was on the back, hard for him to apply.

Leo Sherman raised an eyebrow, giving Ivy Kensington a deep look, as if seeing through her to another person.

In the end, Leo Sherman did not refuse.

It was a summer night, he was wearing a short sleeve, and following Ivy Kensington’s suggestion, he took off his shirt.

Ivy Kensington didn’t look around; instead, she found the injured spot on his back, opened the spray, and applied it.

A light medicinal scent filled the air.

Leo Sherman said: "Miss, let’s be friends. My surname is Sherman, given name Leo."

Only after finishing applying the medicine, Ivy Kensington returned to the topic: "Mr. Sherman, you can call me Ivy Kensington."

With that, she handed the spray to Leo Sherman.

"Thank you for tonight. If you’re still uncomfortable later, you can find me."

She was responsible for the injury, she had to see it through.

Leo Sherman looked at her with a gentle smile, "Okay."

Ivy Kensington nodded at him, then turned and headed back to the hospital.

After this incident, she calmed down, realizing that Sebastian Blackwood had hidden his daughter away, not wanting her to meet him, so she definitely wouldn’t see her.

Right now, she shouldn’t confront Sebastian Blackwood; discussing it properly with him is the only way to resolve the issue.

Thinking of this, Ivy Kensington lifted her eyes, and saw that familiar figure, tall and standing against a dust-sucking tree across the road not far from her!

Sebastian Blackwood’s handsome face was dark, his expression grim!
