Grabbing Ethan's hand, Olivia checked his wound only to realize that there was a long line of slits adorning it.

"I'm fine.

I get hurt often.

It's nothing." Unbothered, he withdrew his hand.

"Give me a second." She quickly brought a medical kit over to stop the bleeding.

"Alright.

Make sure the wound stays away from water these two days.

I'll help you to the bed." "It's alright.

You don't have to."" He shoved her away before dragging his body toward the bed.

Although he wanted to stay close to her, she was too smart for him to do that.

It would take a single mistake for her to find out about it.

Hence, he could only control his impulsive thoughts by pretending that they were strangers and distancing himself from her.

Frowning, Olivia said, "There's no man or woman here but a doctor and a patient.

If you insist on distancing yourself from me, I won't care about the poison in your body anymore." Ethan hung his head low.

"Sorry." She brought over another bowl of porridge.

"If you wanna get better soon, do as I say." "Sorry for the trouble," he apologized again.
