Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 221 A Capricious Man

As Lela continued to pass the juice of the herbs into Sylvester's mouth, she raised her right hand. She passed her palm over Sylvester's back. In a moment when Sylvester wasn't paying attention, she quickly pulled out the fragment in his back with force.

Blood immediately spurted out, splattering onto the tree trunk, Lela's fair face, and her hand...

Trenton and Mildred watched this scene, their hearts filled with distress.

"Hum," Sylvester groaned in pain.

Lela, full of distress, left his lips and placed the herbal residue on the wound on Sylvester's back. She then pressed it down.

Sylvester leaned against Lela, his handsome face covered in fine sweat.

Lela felt extreme distress. She held Sylvester in her arms with her left hand while pressing down on the wound with her right hand.

Seeing that blood was still flowing, Lela hurriedly called out, "Mildred, bring the remaining herbs over here."

Mildred didn't dare delay and quickly handed over the herbal medicine. Lela stuffed the herbs in her mouth with force, chewed them into pieces, and pressed them onto Sylvester's wound. Sylvester trembled in her arms. Lela lowered her head and kissed Sylvester's smooth forehead, saying, "Sylvester, don't be afraid. I'm here."

She said before that she would protect Sylvester.

Even death could not snatch him away from her.

Sylvester raised an eyebrow, and a hint of happiness flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to be in pain, saying, "It hurts, honey. Hold me tighter."

As expected, Lela tightened her embrace on Sylvester, leaning her cheek against his forehead. Her silver eyes gradually filled with moisture.

Mildred was initially scared, but even he understood Sylvester was playing a little trick again.

Sylvester had a hard time in the past, which lasted almost for tens of years. He suffered a lot of injuries during that period. Therefore, this small wound was nothing to him. But now...

Mildred thought, 'Ah! He is truly unpredictable. Only Lela would believe it.'

Trenton had never seen Sylvester like this before. He was shocked and gaped at Sylvester. He then turned to Mildred. Seeing the weird look in Mildred's eyes, he knew everything. A smile appeared at the corners of his lips. He thought, 'So this is what Mr. Gomez is like.'

The herb did stop the bleeding effectively. Lela could already feel that Sylvester's back was no longer bleeding, so she slowly released him.

But Sylvester still didn't want to leave her. He even used force with his left hand, holding her tightly.

Her embrace was so soft that he didn't want to leave.

Of course, Lela had no idea what Sylvester was thinking, so she whispered, "Sylvester, release your hand a bit. I will bandage your wound for you." Only then did Sylvester open his eyes. He pressed his forehead against Lela's and said, "Lela."

Lela coaxed, "Be good. I will bandage your wound for you."

Sylvester felt pleased in his heart. He moved away a little from Lela, rested his head on her shoulder, and wrapped his hands around her slender waist. "But I can't move my hands. What if I can't take off my clothes?" Sylvester asked, acting spoiled.

Trenton volunteered to help, and said, "Mr. Gomez, let me do it for you."

Sylvester was a tall man, so Trenton thought that Lela might not be able to handle it all by herself.

As soon as Trenton finished speaking, he received a sharp warning look from Sylvester.

Trenton immediately stopped talking.

Lela knew Sylvester would not accept anyone's touch except hers.

She didn't agree either. "It's okay. I can do it," she told Trenton.

After saying that, she gently patted Sylvester's back. "Sylvester, I can gently take off your clothes. Can you cooperate with me?" she asked, gently. Sylvester smirked and responded with a "yes."

He could move his right arm, so Lela started by removing his clothes from his right hand.

She took off his overcoat and then the black shirt inside.

Her delicate fingers slowly unbuttoned the buttons one by one from the collar.

Sylvester looked down with his deep enchanting eyes. He swallowed...
