“Thankfully, electronic payment is an option here, saving me the awkwardness of having to ask random strangers for cash.”

As he spoke, he tore open the antiseptic package, intending to apply it on Lysander with a cotton swab, naturally squatting down in the process.

A smile tugged at the corner of Lysander’s mouth. “I’ll still have to find a chance to explain.”
