Sean carefully applied the medicine to Patrick's face for a while, and the doctor breathed a sigh of relief when Sean was finished.
However, just as the doctor was about to pack his medical briefcase and leave, Patrick stopped him. "Wait."
"Were you hurt elsewhere?" The doctor asked.
"No," Patrick was suddenly grinning evilly. "Sean's nose is swollen. I can help him with it too."
As Sean stared at him, he shrugged. "Just returning a favor."
With that, he took out the disinfectant and the antiinflammatory medicine from the doctor's briefcase and started to shove it up Sean's nose.
It stung Sean, but he gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound, knowing that Patrick was just getting back at him.
Patrick frowned.
He wasn’t being gentle at all, but Sean wasn’t fighting back?
As such, he went even harder, and Sean's nose reddened further when it wasn't before.
However, Sean never once made a sound; Patrick actually wondered if the former had issues with his senses. "Doesn't it hurt?"
"I'm not a kid, unlike you."
Patrick scowled, speechless.
"Are you done?" Sean asked him.
