Chief Heir Officer novel Chapter 760

“It’ll sting at first and it’ll feel cold after a while, so bear with it.”

The ointment had been warmed by the temperature of Philip’s palm. He dipped it with his finger and gently smeared it on Wynn’s neck.

Philip did his task very seriously. Wynn did feel the irritation at the beginning, but she slowly felt her neck become cold.

Perhaps the medicine was too good or it was purely psychological, but after the application, Wynn felt that the wounds on her neck were less painful. The bruises even seemed lighter.

“Done.”

Philip kept the ointment and subconsciously blew on Wynn’s neck.

With his cool breath combined with the medicine on her neck, Wynn shuddered and felt as if many ants were crawling on her neck.

When it was almost done, Wynn handed a box of tissues to Philip.

“Uh, what’s up?”

Philip did not understand Wynn’s gesture.

“To wipe the sweat off your forehead.”

Philip smiled slyly. “That’s not fair. You should do it for me.”

Wynn rolled her eyes at him, stood up, and said with a smile, “Dream on.”

Philip shrugged and smiled before wiping the sweat off his forehead carelessly.

Wynn walked to the desk, held up the teacup on the table, and took a few sips of tea. Her restless heart finally calmed down and she suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

The situation today was too perilous. How did two killers appear in the research room?

The researchers in the research room were all hired by Wynn from scientific research institutions at a high salary. No one could enter the research room without identity verification!

Why did this happen and how did they get in?

Wynn had to think about it seriously. She wondered who the mastermind behind this was.

Everything enveloped Wynn’s mind like a cloud of smoke.

Were they bought off by someone?

If so, where did their terrifying skills come from?

Was there an insider in the research room?

Wynn was perplexed, and this made her feel cold all over. If she guessed it correctly and the insider was not found out, something big would definitely happen later!

“I’ll go with you.”

Wynn got up. She knew what Philip was going to do and she wanted to see it too.

He shook his head as he looked at her and said, “No, you can’t. Just wait here for me.”

He knew that Wynn was smart. There was a hint of gentleness in his eyes when he looked at her, but there was unquestionable firmness in that gaze too!

“I… I’m worried about you,” Wynn said, her eyes full of concern and worry.

“Don’t worry. Your husband isn’t an ordinary man.”

Philip pressed Wynn’s shoulder and smiled slightly.

“Is it possible that those people are still afraid of you because of the Clarke family on Arcadia Island?”

Wynn suddenly blinked her big eyes, looking at Philip with doubts and concern.

Philip shuddered and stared at Wynn.

How would she know about the Clarke family on Arcadia Island?!

Was it because of his conversation with Cynthia Larson that night?
