Chapter 385 Really Good–Looking

Nathael stayed silent for what felt like ages, not giving any reply.

Maggie began to wonder if he had nodded off. Then she noticed the slow movement of the boy’s slende fingers as he reached for a cotton swab and disinfectant.

Seeing this, Maggie grinned and remarked, “Tll take that’s ay

yes.

“Sure,” Nathael replied, unsure of the importance of this newfound friendship.

But she looked pleased.

Accepting the cotton swab and disinfectant from him, Maggie offered, “Let me help.”

Nathael hesitated, but she had already taken them, so he simply turned away without a word.

Moonlight filtered into the cramped storage room, casting a silvery glow. Amidst the dust particles floating in the air, Nathael sat with his bare back facing Maggie.

Maggie carefully tended to his wounds, making do with the limited supply of cotton swabs. Thankfully, she managed to treat all his injuries.

“Can’t bring yourself to do it?” Nathael asked, turning his head.

But in the next instant. Maggie’s lips covered the wound as she sucked out the pus and blood.

In the quiet of the room, he could feel the warmth of her lips, occasionally sensing her breath on his skin.

Unable to see anything, Nathael turned away, his checks flushing uncontrollably.

He wasn’t clueless, but no girl had ever been this close to him. Whether it was due to this intimacy or a stranger intruding on his personal space, Nathael’s cars turned red involuntarily.

Maggie didn’t think much about it. This method of treatment was simple; every child in the orphanage knew it, and most used this method, so she didn’t think much of it.

However, the smell of pus and blood was rather unpleasant. Maggie spat out the pus and rinsed her mouth several times with cold water before stopping.

Then she disinfected his wound once more, using the remaining medicine powder and applying it to the
