Chapter 48

Marco hadn’t noticed Joey’s foot injuries until Sarah bent over to take off her blood-stained shoes. He hurriedly stopped Sarah and said, “You'd better not do that, Miss. Your friend will hurt very much and it will probably tear her wounds open again.”

Sarah took his advice. She turned around to look at him in surprise, “Do you know some medical skills?”

Sarah didn’t realize that she was now in a squatting position and three buttons in her white shirt had been undone when she was hot from travelling on the journey. If she were standing, it would certainly have been all right. But now her shirt was revealing, and Marco, who was standing next to her, happened to see her white and big breasts.

It was the first time Marco had ever seen a woman’s breasts in his life and it was a woman from the city far away from here. Her breasts were white, tender and pink. A peek at them was enough to make his throat tight and his penis rock- hard under his loose robe.

Marco instantly turned around to press it down in embarrassment. His heart was racing fast and he had no idea what was going on with him.

However, having kept an eye on Marco, Sarah undoubtedly caught him having an erection. In spite of her rich sexual experience, Sarah couldn't help blushing. She looked down and saw her bare breasts, which made her realize that it was her who had accidently turned the teenage boy on.

She quickly buttoned her shirt and asked him again, “Marco, it seems you have some medical knowledge. Why don’t you take a look at my friend’s wounds?”

Marco, who had taken care of his personal matter, turned around and said, “I don’t know much about medicine. But I know some medicinal herbs. My grandma hasn’t been in very good health and I often gathered herbs for her. I gradually picked up some medical knowledge. Stay still, and I’ll fetch you a basin of herbal water.”

He quickly ran out of the room and got busy in the yard outside. After a while, he returned with a basin of black herbal water “Miss, soak your feet in the water. I’ll help you take off your shoes in three minutes.” Marco said earnestly.

“Well...”

Joey looked at the water in the basin and it was dark as ink. She hesitated.

Sarah saw Joey’s hesitation. She took hold of Joey’s feet and put them in the water, complaining, “It’s very thoughtful of Marco to prepare the herbal water for you. Just take it. It looks like folk recipe. Don’t you know that folk recipe is often more effective than those expensive Western medicines?”

“Ah!”

Joey was startled by Sarah’s sudden move. Fortunately, she felt cool and comfortable when her feet were soaked in the water. It wasn’t painful at all.

The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me Chapter 47 A strong lad in the village Three minutes later, Marco squatted down to take off Joey’s shoes. He was a muscular and strong young man, but his touches were very gentle.

Joey didn't feel any pain. She assumed that the herbal water was anaesthetic.

After that, Marco quickly and expertly bandaged her feet and gave her instructions. He was serious as a real doctor.

Sarah made some jokes and Marco blushed again.

Joey borrowed Sarah’s phone and tried to make a call. But as she had expected, there was no phone reception in this remote area at all. Joey’s heart was torn with anxiety. Allen would freak out like last time if he couldn’t reach her.

However, on second thought, she believed Allen must have spies in the Walter Group. After all, he had had someone look up her personnel files when she couldn’t find her a couple of days ago. He would certainly know that she had gone on a business trip with John Walter if he wanted to.

It was a comforting thought.

But to Joey’s surprise, a visitor walked into the village at dusk, an urbanite that had travelled long distance with a big travelling bag on his back.

Clearly fatigued with the journey, the visitor’s smile was warm and happy. Joey froze for a second at the sight of him.

Sarah looked up and greeted him with a big smile. She was glad that he had made it. In this case, John Walter wouldn’t have the opportunity to made advances at Joey during their stay at the village even if he intended to do so...
