Book TRK
Chapter 302
As a gynecologist, providing medical care to women was more than
common for Emmanuel.
Even though Claudette was soaking wet with her clothes tightly clinging to
her body, displaying the most delicate curves and contours of a woman, he
wasn’t the slightest bit aroused.
Hé merely skillfully applied professional techniques to the young lady’s chest.
Pfft! Claudette coughed up some water after Emmanuel pressed her chest
firmly twice.
That said, she still didn’t regain consciousness.
In order to save her, after assessing the situation, Emmanuel had no choice
but to pinch her nose and prepare to perform mouth–to–mouth resuscitation
on her.
Fortunately, the young woman’s originally pale face gradually regained color
and vitality after a few light coughs, and Emmanuel stopped at once.
In the next moment, Claudette sat up nervously. Feeling a cool sensation
throughout her body, she crossed her hands over her chest, but when she
saw that the man in front of her was Emmanuel, not only did she relax her
guard, but she also pursed her lips.
“W–Were you the one who saved me, Dr. Lowe?” Claudette’s face grew
increasingly red. She believed Emmanuel had performed mouth–to–mouth
resuscitation on her.
Doesn’t that mean my first kiss has been stolen?
“I did. That was a close call just now.” Emmanuel, on the other hand, was
nearly expressionless. He even took off his jacket to put it on Claudette.
After that, he stood up and observed their surroundings.
Meanwhile, Claudette wrapped her hands tightly around Emmanuel’s jacket,
smelling the faint scent on it.
His scent was pleasant, unlike how other men smelled. It was not a woman’s
smell either, but it was warm and captivating.
“How did you revive me just now, Dr. Lowe?” Claudette couldn’t help asking as
she gazed at Emmanuel’s towering figure.
“Just the normal chest compression. I was also about to give you
mouth–to–mouth resuscitation…” Emmanuel answered while searching for
wood nearby.
He knew they wouldn’t be able to go back up for at least a while. Hence, the
important thing now was to get their clothes dry, or things would turn
troublesome if Claudette fell sick later.
Alas, words can be misinterpreted sometimes. Emmanuel didn’t explain it
clearly, and Claudette genuinely thought he had kissed her.
Moreover, it was likely that he didn’t only do it once! Yes!
Regardless of whether she ended up with Emmanuel, she could rest in peace
knowing she had given her first kiss to the man she liked.
Watching Emmanuel’s busy and reliable figure, Claudette smiled happily.
“Ms. Lenoir, the fire is lit. Come sit over here!”
Emmanuel’s survival skills in the wilderness were simply astonishing. In just a
few moments, he had ignited a small fire. Unfortunately, though, his
somewhat cold tone was rather perplexing.
However, Claudette didn’t mind it. Emmanuel’s perplexing demeanor was
also an attractive quality to her.
She preferred insensitive men like him rather than someone
smooth–tongued like Jonathan, who was repulsive to listen to. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She quickly stood up and walked toward the bonfire, wondering if she could
snuggle up next to him and warm herself by the fire. It would be more
romantic than any dance!
Alas, Emmanuel stood up as soon as she approached.
“You should warm yourself by the fire first. Don’t catch a cold!” he said as he
picked up a few sticks from the ground and went to build something in
another nearby cluster of trees.
Claudette was curious and also admired his incredible hands–on skills.
A short while later, he had actually built a wooden rack and then created a
pile of fire. He took off his shirt and placed it on the rack to dry.
His solid abs fascinated Claudette.
What kind of training has this man gone through? His abs are different from
those of gym trainers. They don’t appear disproportionately large, but it’s
evident that he’s incredibly strong!
Emmanuel’s face finally showed a hint of unease when he noticed Claudette
sneakily eyeing him. He smiled somewhat bashfully and asked, “Ms. Lenoir, I’d
like to dry my clothes first. Could you please look the other way?”
