A Love Trap

Andrew walked towards Ashley with the antiseptic and some bandages. He told Ashley to raise her hand which she immediately obeyed.

Andrew rolled some cotton and dampened it with alcohol. He then dabbed it on Ashley's wounds gently.

"Hiss." Ashley let out a sound of distress as her wound bubbled. The pain surged from her hand as the alcohol disinfected it. Ashley shivered as she tried to tolerate the agony.

Andrew was stunned by Ashley's painful reaction. He frowned and stared at Ashley's hand. He felt sorry about the pain she felt.

"Hang in there. It will be over soon." Andrew lowered his head and whispered to Ashley's ear. It was out of character for him to say such words but he really wanted Ashley to calm down.

The awkwardness in his voice must be because of the fact that he had never said such warm words to anyone.

Ashley was surprised by Andrew's heartfelt attempt to comfort her. Her eyes widened because she never expected Andrew to use such tender gestures.

Ashley stared at Andrew as he wiped her wounds. She noticed that his ears reddened and his hands slightly shook as he tended Ashley's wounds.

Ashley was dazed when she realized how Andrew cared for her. She felt conflicted about her emotions as she looked at Andrew's face. Ashley saw the pain in Andrew's face. She was the one who had a wound but Andrew looked to be more in agony as he stared at Ashley's hand.

She felt relieved when she saw how Andrew watched out for her safety. Andrew had already sterilized her wounds so he grabbed an ointment from the medical kit.

Andrew spread the white medical cream around Ashley's wound. The coolness from the cream lessened her pain and made her more comfortable.

Andrew reached for the bandage to wrap Ashley's wounds. However, when Ashley saw what he was about to do, she stopped him and said,"I don't think a bandage would be necessary. The wound cannot be covered by it."

Ashley thought that her hand was ugly enough without a bandage. It would look even worse and inconvenient if he put a bandage on her hand.

Andrew was frozen because he didn't know how to put a bandage to the wound. He then decided to follow Ashley's request and return the bandage to the medical box.

"Andrew, tell me, will my hand be scarred?" Ashley inquired with a sorry face. She frowned as she stared at the back of her hand which was inflamed. She then raised her head and looked at Andrew. Her eyes were filled with misery and pain.
