Rebecca felt unjust. Upon seeing Ashton leaving, she insisted she didn’t need Joseph’s help carrying her up. While limping, she stared at me and said, “Scarlett, you did it on purpose.”

I uttered, “I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional.” The reason I’d pulled her earlier was that I was panicking.

After Joseph had left with Rebecca, Ashton came out of the office with a first aid kit in his hand. He came and crouched down next to me.

Staring at me, he said, “Give me your hand.”

I pursed my lips and extended my hand towards him. All I could feel was a burning sensation due to the cuts and grazes. I wasn’t aware when it had started bleeding.

At that moment, Ashton took my hand and looked at it. His brows furrowed deeply upon seeing that it was covered in blood. “Bear with me. This might hurt a little!”

I nodded and bit my lips slightly.

The skin’s upper layer was torn apart, exposing the tender flesh beneath it. Feeling the stinging pain from the antiseptic-soaked cotton swab, I retracted my hand instinctively as he was midway cleaning. However, he gripped onto my hand and uttered, “It’ll be fine in a while.”

I raised my eyebrows. “Just bandage it and get it over with.” It would hurt more if he started being meticulous about it.

After he applied the dressing, he looked up and stared at me in concern. “Is your knee hurt too?”

I shook my head, hoping that he wouldn’t touch it. Furthermore, it wasn’t obvious as I was wearing a skirt.

He ignored my words and lifted up the hem of my skirt. A big red patch revealed itself and it was a real eyesore.
