Chapter 173 The Helicopter Is Ready 

Chapter 173 The Helicopter Is Ready 

Is he really the same Mr. Whitethorn I hold in such high esteem? He’s actually kneeling before a woman as if he’s surrendering at her feet

Nathan even had this odd impression that any moment now, Julius would lean down and plant a kiss on the top of the woman’s foot

Ah, Mr. Lamorde!Quinn turned to look at Nathan with an awkward expression. I accidentally spilled some coffee on my shoes earlier, so” 

Nathan quickly hid his shock and put on an understanding face

Quinn tried to pull her foot back, but Julius was still holding it firmly

I’m fine,Quinn assured Julius

Your foot is still a bit red,” Julius said, promptly scooping up Quinn in his arms

Both Quinn and Nathan were dumbfounded

Inside the office, there was a small bathroom separated by a wall. Nathan watched as Julius carried Quinn over to the sink, turned on the faucet, and rinsed her foot with cold water

Meanwhile, the executives following Nathan saw that he hadn’t come back out after entering the office. So they gently pushed open the door and asked, Mr. Lamorde, is Mr. Whitethorn in there?” 

Yes, butNathan replied, unsure of what to say

The executives suddenly became alert. Their minds went back to the time when Julius was in danger in the underground parking lot. They wondered if something had happened again

One executive quickly stepped into the room, pushing the door open. The others followed behind

What they saw left them speechless

The dignified Julius was actually washing Quinn’s foot

Seeing everyone pour into the room, Quinn felt her headache get worse. All right, I’m really okay now!” 

She was worried that more people might show up just to gawk

Julius looked at her right foot. The redness had faded under the cold water. Finally, he stopped, took out a handkerchief, and gently dried her foot. Then he helped her put on a spare pair of shoes from the office

Nathan and the executives were completely stunned. Their feelings couldn’t be described with a word like surprised.” 

You guys must be having a meeting, right? I’ll step out then.Quinn was about to leave when Julius suddenly held her back

You can stay here.” 

I’d rather sit outside for a while,” Quinn insisted. The way everyone was staring at her made her feel awkward. The seating area outside the office sounded much better

1/3 

After a moment of hesitation, Julius finally said, All right then.” 

Then he picked up two boxes of medicine from his desk, glanced at his watch, and said, In seven minutes, take your medicine. The two pills need to be taken five minutes apart.” 

Nathan and the executives looked on in disbelief. The same Julius who was usually brief and serious in meetings now sounded more like a chatty old lady

All right,Quinn said, taking the medicine and leaving the office with Nathan

Ms. Bridger, Mr. Whitethorn treats you really well,Nathan commented

Julius acted in totally different ways around Quinn compared to how he behaved with Marley

Quinn gave a soft laugh. She already knew how kind Julius had always been to her

Being with him made her feel truly treasured

Over time, he had become more and more important to her without her even noticing. She wanted to kiss him and protect him, even when it wasn’t part of a mission. She even wished she could one day help him heal from the pain of his past

It seemed she had fallen in love with him

Ms. Bridger, it’s time for your medicine,” Nathan said, handing her a glass of water

Thank you,Quinn replied as she took the water and got ready to take her pills

The two medicines were just for boosting her immune system and helping with blood replenishment. In Quinn’s opinion, it wouldn’t matter much if she didn’t take them

But for some reason, Julius was convinced she was physically weak and insisted she needed proper care

After she took her pills, her phone rang. After a quick call, she turned to Nathan and said, Please let Julius know later that something came up. I need to head over to Bridger Group.” 

With that, she hurried off

When Quinn arrived at Bridger Group, she ran into Marley

Seeing Quinn, Marley furrowed her brows. What are you doing here?” 

What I’m doing here has nothing to do with you,Quinn said, trying to walk past Marley. But then a voice called from behind

Marley, why did you call Quinn and me over?” 

Quinn turned and saw Sidonie and Trent walking into the building. Trent’s right hand was in a cast

I didn’t call her. She came on her own!Marley quickly said, rushing toward Sidonie. You’re finally here. The helicopter is ready. We’ve been waiting for you to come and help with the rescue!” 

Something had gone wrong at a project site on the island, and they needed immediate help. The police had already been contacted, but calling a helicopter through them would take hours

Bridger Group had its own helicopter, so Marley had asked Sidonie for help

2/3 

After all, the incident happened because Marley had pushed too hard to speed up the constru schedule, which led to missed safety checks

So, you want me to help save someone?Sidonic said, looking smugly at Quinn. Then tell Q apologize to me and to Trent first.” 

What?Marley was taken aback

Quinn narrowed her eyes, locking eyes with Sidonie, whose look was full of malice
