Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation

Chapter 41 Are You That Strong?

Did the power go out?

Clara hurriedly turned on her phone’s flashlight. Through the windows in the hallway, she saw that the

streetlights were still on. Then she heard Donny’s voice from downstairs saying that a circuit breaker

had tripped and that he would go and check it out.

There was still time tomorrow, she would give him the suits then.

Clara was about to take them back when she vaguely heard movement in the bedroom.

It sounded like something had been knocked to the ground.

She was afraid that circuit breaker tripping so suddenly had caused Ethan to bump into something. She

knocked on the door and asked, “Ethan, are you okay?”

“Mr. Preston?”

“...”

After knocking on the door a few times and not hearing Ethan’s reply, Clara got a little anxious.

Just as she was about to kick the door open, Ethan’s muffled voice finally came out, “The door is

unlocked, come in.”

“Okay.” Clara felt relieved when she realized that he was okay.

She entered the room using her mobile phone’s flashlight, but the flashlight only made a small circle of

light in the large room, and she didn’t see Ethan.

She soon noticed the bathroom was closed and walked over, “Ethan, are you in the bathroom?”

“Yes” A tall figure could be seen through the bathroom glass door. “When the power was cut, I found

that I couldn’t open the bathroom door. Try and see if it can be opened from the outside.”

“Okay, wait a minute.”

When Clara shone the mobile phone flashlight on the bathroom door, she saw that a floor towel was

stuck under the door.

“Ethan, I think you accidentally disturbed the floor towel while you were closing the bathroom door.”

Clara tried pulling it, but she couldn’t pull it out no matter how hard she tried.

She stood up, “Why don’t you step back, and I’ll try to break the door open.”

“Are you that strong?” Ethan was skeptical.

“...... I’ll try.”

She put her mobile phone on the chair, letting the light shine on the bathroom. Then she took a deep

breath, and then slammed her body hard against the bathroom door.

The first time she threw herself against it, her shoulder hurt, but she didn’t break the door open.

Ethan keenly heard her sucking in the chilly air. She was obviously in pain “Don’t try anymore, call This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Baxter to help.”

“It’s okay, I’ll try again.” Clara rubbed her aching shoulder, changed her angle, and threw herself

against the door using her left shoulder.

The door suddenly opened. She hadn’t held the door handle, and her body losing its support, fell into

the bathroom.

Ethan used the dim light from outside to reach out a hand and prepare to help Clara, he didn’t expect

her to crash into him, knocking him back a few steps.

Clara didn’t know how the shower turned on, but water sprayed out from the shower head on the

ceiling and instantly drenched the two.

Ethan’s back had suffered a violent impact. His wound opened and he groaned in pain. He fumbled

behind him with his hand and quickly turned off the shower.

Clara was shivering from the freezing water. Under the light, she could see that Ethan entire body was

wet, his black hair was stuck to his forehead and his expression was dark and grim...... and very ugly.

“So... Sorry, I didn’t hold on to the door handle. “ Clara took the towel from the shelf and handed it to

him with trembling hands.

She hurriedly helped him out of the bathroom, “Wait, I’ll call Baxter up......”

“The medicine and gauze are in the cabinet, you do it.” Ethan stopped her from running outside, and

scrunched his eyebrows, “I’m afraid he’ll be careless and hurt me.”

Clara thought of Baxter’s careless attitude and thought that it was indeed possible.

She took the medicine and bandages from the Ethan’s cabinet and made Ethan turn his back to her as

she carefully unwrapped layer by layer his bloody bandages. Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом

Although the bandages were wrapped several times, they weren’t in any way waterproof. When Ethan

had gotten drenched just now, the bandages had also been thoroughly drenched.

After removing the gauze, Clara saw that the wound had opened and turned pale from soaking in the

water.

She couldn’t help but blame herself, “I’m sorry...... I should have listened to you just now and asked

Baxter to come up and help.”

If she had done so, she wouldn’t have fell into the bathroom and bumped into him, causing his wound

to split open.

Ethan just said lightly, “Apologizing is useless. Since it has already happened, just avoid it next time

and help me deal with my wound.”

“Okay.” Clara pursed her lips.
