Chapter 15: Physical Examination
What Xenia Lewis mentioned was indeed a very awkward situation. A protected species like this could only be killed only after it had caused hurt or death, to prevent further killings.
However, they really could not kill it before something serious happened.
Then again, wild animals would usually run away when they encountered humans and wouldn’t easily hurt others. Only animals like bears were more courageous and had mixed appetites. They often hurt others.
Unfortunately, it met William Scott today. He was even more ferocious than a bear. Although the bear was ferocious, it was like a little puppy in front of him, allowing him to kick and hit it.
“Good job! William, you can do it!”
“Hehe… Beat it up again. Stupid bear, you really wanted to eat me huh. Do you regret it now?”
“It’s useless even if you scream. Today, I’ll let you know that I, Xenia Lewis, am not that delicious.”
Yoel Quinn was initially flabbergasted when he saw William Scott beating up a bear. However, when he saw Xenia Lewis’s appearance, he could not help but touch his forehead. What kind of person was this niece of his? She was simply insensitive and treated such a dangerous matter as a game.
It was all thanks to William Scott’s strength. Otherwise, this girl would have become a meal for a bear.
Animals bullied the weak and feared the strong. After fighting for a while and suffering quite a bit, it had no intention of fighting anymore. It turned around and wanted to run, but William Scott gave it a few more kicks on its butt before finally letting it go.
“William, are you going to let it go just like that?” Xenia Lewis shouted in dissatisfaction.
Yoel Quinn glared at her and said, “That’s about enough. If it really goes crazy, it won’t be easy to deal with.”
“With William around, what are you afraid of?” Xenia Lewis raised her chin and said confidently.
......
At this moment, William Scott walked over and asked, “Xenia, were you injured just now?”
Xenia Lewis’s expression changed, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She said with a bitter face, “I didn’t feel anything just now, but now that you mention it, I really feel some pain in my chest and back.”
Yoel Quinn immediately became worried. He looked at her from head to toe and said, “Your clothes are not torn, and there’s no blood. There shouldn’t be any external injuries, right?”
“I don’t think so. Just now, William came over and threw himself at me. The bear hit him and I was also hit. William… Even my body hurts now. A-are you really alright?” Xenia Lewis pulled William Scott’s arm and looked at him carefully. She almost lifted his clothes to take a look.
“It’s fine. I’m much more resistant to beatings than you are. In addition, you also absorbed some of the shock, so I wasn’t too badly hit.”
“You’re lying, William… thank you.” Xenia Lewis’s eyes suddenly turned red.
“Alright, this is not a big deal. Look at how lively I am. Don’t be like this. Uncle, let’s go.” He specially mentioned Yoel Quinn because he was afraid that Xenia Lewis would be impulsive again and throw himself into his arms. If that happened, the situation would be awkward.
Yoel Quinn nodded and said, “Let’s talk when we get back.”
As the three of them walked back, Yvette Quinn, Yvonne Shaw, and Larry Zion quickly came up to them.
Yvonne Shaw and Yvette Quinn hugged Xenia Lewis. They were really scared just now. If anything happened to Xenia Lewis, they would definitely be heartbroken.
After Yvette Quinn released Xenia Lewis, she looked at William Scott and said sincerely, “Thank you!”
William Scott smiled. “What’s there to thank me for? I’m your boyfriend. It’s my responsibility to protect your family.”
Yvette Quinn stared at William Scott for a few seconds before smiling brightly. “You’re really brave today! Are you hurt?”
“No. It’s just a little bear.”
Yvonne Shaw also looked at William Scott. Unlike others, she asked Yvette Quinn to check if William Scott was injured. No matter what William Scott said, she was still worried.
William Scott had no choice but to follow Yvette Quinn into the car. He winked at Yvette Quinn and said, “Later, just say that you’ve checked it and I’m fine.”
Yvette Quinn said seriously, “No, take off your clothes.”
“No way…” William Scott’s eyes widened.
“I told you to take it off. Unless you need my help?” Yvette Quinn glared at him.
William Scott finally knew that Yvette Quinn was serious. He smiled and said, “Well…”
“Hurry up!” Yvette Quinn took a step forward.
“Alright, alright. I’ll take it off.” William Scott turned around and lifted his arms, revealing his back.
There seemed to be a red mark on his back, and it was very shallow. There were indeed no other injuries.
“Turn around.”
“Forget about the front. I was only slapped by the bear on the back.”
“I told you to turn around. Why are you dawdling?” Yvette Quinn said. Without waiting for William Scott to turn around, she had already darted in front of him.
“You…” When Yvette Quinn saw William Scott’s chest, she couldn’t help but shiver and look away.
What kind of chest was this? Who knew how many scars were interweaved together like earthworms? It was truly indescribably terrifying.
“I told you not to look at it.” William Scott smiled bitterly and put his clothes down.
“You…” Yvette Quinn was stunned for a while before she recovered from the shock and stuttered.
William Scott smiled faintly. “As a Special Forces soldier, it’s natural for me to be injured when I’m out on a mission.”
The corners of Yvette Quinn’s mouth twitched. “But you… how many injuries have you had?”
William Scott chuckled. He could not help but recall the last mission. His injuries were all inflicted on him during that time. The skin on his chest was almost torn apart. It was truly a miracle that he was still alive.
Yvette Quinn suddenly bowed to William Scott and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be like this. The scars on the soldiers are military medals. I should be paying my respects to you. I apologize for my shock just now.”
William Scott revealed a brilliant smile and said, “As expected of a military family. You really think differently.”
Yvette Quinn smiled. “You really surprised me.”
“Haha, I did well, didn’t I?” William Scott blinked.
Yvette Quinn looked out of the car window and noticed that her parents were a distance away, so they probably couldn’t hear what she was saying. She nodded her head. “You really impressed me. My parents should be fully accepting of you this time.”
William Scott grinned and said, “My mother is also forcing me. In the near future, you’ll have to come over to my house to help me.”
Yvette Quinn bitterly smiled. “You’re doing so well. I suddenly feel pressured.”
