CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1591

“This powder is a blood-clotting agent. Its function is to repair the blood vessels and help the wound heal,” Stanley explained.

“Got it,” Joyce replied while checking out the description on the bottle.

It was not written in Ustranian but in a foreign language that she could not read.

However, she had already learned that the powder was a blood-clotting agent.

“Mr. Quinn, what should I do next?” Joyce asked after placing the cap back on the bottle and putting the bottle down.

Stanley pointed to her left and said, “That bottle contains some gel. Scoop some using a spoon and apply to your father's wound. After that, cover the wound with gauze, and you're done.”

“Gel?” Joyce picked up the bottle and saw a faint yellow gel-like substance that emitted a strong smell.

She had expected the bottle to contain pills instead.

“What's this gel for?” she asked, wrinkling her nose.

Suddenly recalling something, she quickly waved her hands and said, “Sorry, Mr. Quinn. I didn't ask that on purpose. You don't have to answer.”

Jeez, how could I have forgotten how much he hates our Rivers family? He's already being very kind by teaching me how to treat Dad's wound.

Joyce could not help but feel upset with herself for asking unnecessary questions.

However, Stanley did not disregard her question.

Instead of ignoring her, he explained, “This is a new medicine that was only developed last year. It contains a substance that promotes skin growth. As its production costs are low, it's commonly used in hospitals and clinics to treat external wounds.” Instead of ignoring her, he explained, “This is a new medicine that was only developed last year. It contains a substance that promotes skin growth. As its production costs are low, it's commonly used in hospitals and clinics to treat external wounds.”

“I see.” Joyce nodded in understanding.

At the same time, she was in slight disbelief that he had actually answered her.

He doesn't seem as bad as Dad, Mom, and Nat described him as.

He seems very patient with me.

What's going on?

Joyce tilted her head in confusion.

Moreover, she did not get the feeling that Stanley resented her or the Rivers family.

She knew that it could be her mind playing tricks on her. After all, her parents and Natalie would never

Besides, her fear toward him was real.

She was certain that he must have done terrible things to her and her family previously, and he was merely trying to conceal it.

“Why are you in a daze?” Stanley asked when he noticed that Joyce had lowered her head and was deep in thought. Pursing his lips, he continued, “The blood-clotting powder is going to dry up soon. If you don't apply the gel now, its effects will be diminished. For optimal results, the powder and the gel have to be used together.”

Upon hearing that, Joyce snapped back to her senses at once. She smiled in embarrassment and replied, “Sorry, I'll do it right now.”

She picked up the spoon and scooped a large piece of gel before applying it carefully to Jonathan's wound.

“Dad, does it hurt?”

“No. My heart feels so warm.” Jonathan pointed at his chest with a benevolent smile on his face.

Truth be told, it was impossible for it not to hurt, as the chemicals in those medicines worked to stimulate wound tissues. In fact, Jonathan had been clenching his teeth throughout the entire process.

Even so, he couldn't have felt happier as his daughter was applying medicine for him and was worried that he might be in pain.

While looking at her father's smile, Joyce noticed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and his graying hair. A pang of pain hit her heart.

Ignoring the grudge between the Rivers family and the Quinn family, Joyce knew that her love for Stanley over the past few years had taken a toll on her parents' health.

Even though she was currently unable to remember the things she had done when she was in love with him previously, she knew that at the same time she was hurting because of him, her parents were hurting as well.

In other words, in addition to their own hatred toward Stanley, her parents had to be tortured by their daughter's feelings toward a man she shouldn't have fallen in love with.
