The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
“It’s a mess. Even walking barefoot over gravel would be better than your current state, miss. And though I’m not entirely sure, there were even marks from a paddle.”
Mary was horrified when she saw the paddle marks imprinted on that delicate skin.
Though faint, the severity of the marks made it clear just how hard she’d been struck.
It must have been as forceful as whipping a horse.
Cain frowned.
He knew her foot was injured, but everything else was news to him.
“How old is this wound?”
If the injury happened before coming to the Hastings estate, treatment would suffice. But if it occurred within the Hastings household…
Cain’s eyes glinted fiercely.
“It’s a recent wound.”
Cain scowled.
“Nathan, summon Jane’s maid.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I’ll look into this thoroughly, so you rest, Mary. You must still be tired from your journey.”
Cain looked at Mary, who remained standing beside him.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Sure later Cain wil regret everything he’s done to jane..he only looked the bad side from opposite but never looked inside
