Chapter 854
Spoiled by the President
Vickie's heart trembled when she saw that he had squeezed out some of the medicine as if he was going to help her rub it in. She even said, "You donât have to do this. I...Iâll just do it myself later."
Gregory paused, looked at her, and sneered.
"Are you sure you can do it yourself?"
Uh...Vickie looked down at her swollen leg. It was indeed a bit difficult to do it herself.
However, she still did not want this manâs help, so she said, "I can ask Andrea to help, or even the doctor."
Gregory scoffed.
"Andreaâs just a maid, she knows all this?"
After a pause, he added, "Do you really think the doctors here have a lot of free time to help you rub your foot? Doesn't she have to see other patients?"
Vickie was stunned.
She was a little confused by his words.
Was this female doctor in the chateau not hired earlier specifically to take care of her injuries?
Was there another patient in the chateau she needed to see?
Vickie did not know and did not dare to assert herself.
Before she knew it, the man had already rubbed the medicated ointment on her leg.
His palm was large and broad, with a slight roughness. It was the kind of roughness that came from years of martial arts training as well as from holding a gun.
The thin calluses slid over her delicate skin and carried with it a numbing tingling sensation.
Vickie did not know why as it was obvious that this man had done nothing, but she still felt inexplicably unnerved.
It was almost as if she had to grit her teeth to barely restrain herself from grunting softly.
Her face flushed red.
As Gregory concentrated on rubbing the ointment on her leg, he also paid attention to her face.
He saw that the little woman's face had blushed as red as two small apples and a smile flashed across his eyes.
In fact, the sensation he felt on his hand had made his heart pound as well.
After all, he was facing the woman he liked. How many men could truly restrain themselves in this scenario?
However, he knew that at this time, Vickie still had not fully accepted him, so he could not possibly do anything out of character to aggravate her.
Gregory quickly rubbed in the medicine for her.
Her leg that was swollen had subsided a bit.
He then put her leg under the covers and held her other leg.
"Was it this leg that cramped up just now?"
Vickie was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
Gregory then held the ankle of that leg and massaged it for her again.
Vickie was silent. She did not want him to continue but thought that if she refused all his efforts, she would seem a bit ungrateful.
Thus, she just let him be.
Gregory rubbed her foot for a while until he was sure that the cramping pain had passed, then he put her leg down.
Vickie immediately retracted both of her legs back into the quilt.
At this time, her entire body had shrunk under the covers and only her small, round head popped up. She looked at him with a wary gaze.
"Now that youâre done helping me with the medicine, you can go, right?"
Gregory choked.
He was silently sulking in his heart.
Then, he sneered.
"Now that youâre done using me, you want to kick me out. Aren't you just a little too heartless?"
Vickie pursed her lips and said, "It's not like I made you come."
She was telling the truth.
Unexpectedly, Gregory became more vexed when he heard that.
He stopped in his tracks as he was leaving, then turned back, leaned down, and braced his arms on either side of her shoulders. He stared at her coldly.
âThis is the first time I've ever seen such a heartless woman. Do you believe that I'll strip you naked right now, then weâll see if you still dare to drive me away?"
Vickie was startled.
To be honest, there was not one bit of fear in her heart.
That was because she knew that although Gregory was not too disciplined at times, he had his pride and would never force himself on a woman.
Therefore, she was not afraid in the slightest.
Not only was she not afraid, but instead, she laughed out provocatively.
"Oh? Well, try it then. Letâs see if I can kick you out before you manage to strip me."
Gregory was dumbstruck.
His chest was a bit stuffy, like a million arrows stabbing at it.
Why did he want a girlfriend who was excellent at judo?
Her brute strength could not compare to his and if they got into a real fight, she might not be a match for him. However, for close combat, he would never have a chance of winning.
Gregory closed his eyes and gently sighed, then he beamed at her.
"Of course, I was rude just now. I'll go out now, so you can take your time to rest. I won't disturb you."
After he said that, he got up, controlled his breathing, and strode out.
Vickie looked at his departing back, and for some reason, the corners of her mouth just hooked up.
She rested for an hour in the afternoon.
When Vickie woke up, she did not want to be bored at home, so she asked Andrea to push her around with her wheelchair.
Vickie had obeyed the doctor's instructions and did not put pressure on her feet again.
Andrea was naturally delighted and immediately pushed her to walk around the garden.
Now that Yuliana Lynch was no longer in the chateau, the happiest person was not Vickie but Andrea.
Andrea seemed to hate Yulianaâs guts and had a big problem with her before, so now that Yuliana was gone, she was naturally elated.
When they got to the back, they strolled to the lotus pond.
At this season, the lotus flowers in the pond were already in full bloom.
The two of them were in a good mood as they looked at the endless field of green lotus leaves and light-pink lotus flowers.
Andrea smiled and asked, "Ms. Vickie, I'll go pick two for you and put them in a vase for your room, okay?"
Vickie nodded and said, "Sure, go ahead."
Andrea then went over to pick the lotus flowers.
The lotus flowers did not grow far from the shore, so she could pick them by simply reaching out.
After she picked the lotus flower, she happily ran back and brought it to Vickie.
âMs. Vickie, look! It's so beautiful."
Vickie nodded in agreement.
She was not particularly artsy and sentimental, so she naturally did not think that picking flowers were being cruel to them.

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 In her opinion, flowers were for ornamental purposes, and if one did not pick flowers, would they pick leaves for decoration instead?
The two of them picked the flowers and left happily.
They did not notice that just a short distance behind them, there was a pair of eyes watching them in the shadows.
Vickie was in a good mood after strolling around the garden.
She went back and asked Andrea to put the flowers up.
They hung out in the room for a while longer until someone came over and told them it was time for dinner. They then went out together.
Gregory had already come down from upstairs at this time, and when he saw her, his original cold eyes became a little softer.
He walked over to Vickie and asked, "Does your leg still hurt?"
Vickie was still fine if he did not ask about her, but when he did, it made her recall the awkward situation in the room with him earlier. For a moment, her face started to blush.
She gave a little grunt and shook her head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good."
The man looked normal as if he did not notice anything.
