Melody followed Rosalie’s instructions and flushed the scalded area with cold water for fifteen minutes. Immediately, she felt that burning pain disappeared.
Rosalie brought the burn salve that she had made, which resembled a moisturizing ointment.
After applying it carefully, she then used a hair dryer and adjusted it to a cold setting to dry the ointment slowly.
Melody felt a soothing chill on the back of her hand.
Slowly, the initially inflamed skin began to return to normal.
This made Melody realize that Rosalie's medical skills are superb. With such an ointment, it would become a hot seller in the market.
"I'll get the soup for the kids. Please rest, Auntie Melody."
Rosalie went into the kitchen and tasted the soup. It was very delicious, so she took bowls and served them up.
Lucian took the initiative to pick up a bowl and handed it to Melody. "Grandma, this is the soup you worked so hard to make. You should be the first to taste it!"
Melody wanted to decline at first, but Benedict said with a smile, "It's rare for you to cook soup for the first time in your life. You should commemorate this and try your cooking!"
Rosalie immediately brought out the second bowl and gave it to Benedict.
Then it was the kids’ turn. Finally, even Byron was called over. The entire family had soup.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the children had to take a bath and go to bed. So, Melody reluctantly bid farewell to the three little kids.
On the way home, Benedict praised his wife without hesitation and encouraged her to keep going. Sooner or later, Rosalie would forgive her.
"I know, but that's also because Rosalie is kind enough. Now, I shouldn't be thinking about being forgiven all day long. What I should be thinking about is how to be a good Grandma and a good mother-in-law. Maybe, I realized too late. Or maybe, it’s a sudden wake-up call."
Melody sighed. She understood that once upon a time when her husband protected her, and she did not suffer too much when she was the daughter-in-law of the Lawrence family.
Benedict did not say anymore, believing that his wife would change.
