Sitting at the edge of the bed, Ivan watched as Spencer walked into the room.
Jennifer put her hand on his shoulder, indicating that he shouldn't ask any question now. She thought they had time for this later. The priority now was to treat Spencer's wounds.
Under Rowan's instructions, Spencer had to sit on another bed in the room. "Be smarter next time. It's not worth it taking the knife for someone else."
Ivan looked over at him. Did he mean he wouldn't feel grateful for him at all?
Jennifer immediately said to Rowan. "Check for him now." She was trying to ease the tension. Meanwhile, she was really worried about Spencer.
"Yes." Robin knew what she meant and started to check for Spencer.
Jennifer bent over and whispered in Ivan's ear, "Will you lie down on your side and have a rest? Let me help you."
Ivan indeed felt a bit tired because of the loss of blood.
He nodded and let Jennifer help him lie down.
Spencer got really jealous when he saw how careful Jennifer was with Ivan. Were they showing off their love? Why couldn't Ivan lie down by himself?
Rowan had gotten the equipment ready and looked over at Spencer. "You should lie down too, so that I can do an overall examination for you."
Spencer sat there still and didn't look at Jennifer after a while, "Will you help me lie down too? My body aches all over."
Jennifer raised her eyes and their eyes met.
She had just helped Ivan lie down and was tucking him in. Therefore, she didn't answer immediately.
After tucking Ivan in, she walked around the bed to Spenser's side. She put her arm around his back and held his shoulder. "Be careful." Spencer lay down with a smile.
Ivan felt awkward seeing this.
However, Spencer was delighted.
After helping Spencer lie down, Jennifer stood by the bed and watched as Rowan was checking for Spencer.
A while later, Ivan's voice came. "Honey, I want some water." He must have called her "honey" on purpose.
Jennifer looked over. "Okay." Then she went to pour him a glass of water.
Right after that, Spencer, who was receiving examination, spoke, "Jennie, I'm thirsty as well."
