It was clear how powerful Ashlyn's kick was.
Yvette felt a mix of heartache and shock.
Is Ashlyn that strong?
At this moment, Ashlyn had already brought Lucas back to his room in Section Six.
She rolled her eyes, then began to unbutton the man's dress shirt.
Lucas suddenly grabbed her hand. “Honey, if you're this proactive, I won't be able to control myself.”
“Stop changing the subject.” Ashlyn wriggled free from his large palm as she continued to unbutton his shirt. “Go take a cold shower while I'll find the medicine for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was taken aback by what she saw.
A large area of the man's chest was flushed red. On his usually firm muscles, there were several spots where the skin was peeling off, and a few blisters had formed from the burn.
It was indeed a shocking sight.
He's seriously hurt. I can't believe he still manages to smile and joke around with me.
Ashlyn felt her eyes stung. “Why did you intervene? I could have dodged it on my own or even solved it with a backflip. Why did you stand in front of me? Do you think you're Iron Man?”
She raised her hand, intending to pound on his chest, but when her hand was just a short distance away, she hesitated.
She didn't dare to touch his scalded skin, knowing it would cause him pain.
“Don't come into contact with water or the wounds might leave scars.” Ashlyn glared at him.
Lucas' lips curved as he held her hand. He reassured her, “I'm a strong and resilient man. A little burn won't affect me much. I'll be fine in a few days.”
Ashlyn found herself at a loss as she tried hard to tamp down the emotions that welled up in her heart.
She found some burn ointment and dragged him to the couch.
She took out a cotton swab, meticulously dabbing it with ointment before gently applying it to the man's scalded and reddened skin.
Her movements were especially tender and delicate when she treated the blisters.
She was careful not to hurt Lucas.
