My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 4359

"I'll apply it later," he said.

Seeing the way Calvert was, Harley knew he wouldn't paint later, so he said, "You might as well paint now."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Calvert's face. He picked up the ointment, unscrewed the cap, dabbed a bit on his finger, and began to apply it to his face.

He just couldn't see the wounds on his own face, so he could only apply the medicine based on what he felt.

"Isn't there a mirror here?" Harley reminded.

He lowered his gaze, "The previous mirror was shattered when my father got drunk. We haven't bought a new one yet."

In reality, he simply couldn't afford it. For others, a mirror might just cost a few dollars, but for him, it was money he could save.

After all, he didn't think the mirror was that important.

But in the next moment, Calvert suddenly stiffened. This was because Harley had grabbed his hand, the one smeared with ointment, and was gently applying it to the areas he hadn't reached yet.

"Here... and here..." Harley said.

Calvert looked up, staring at her blankly.

Because Harley was helping him apply medicine to his wound, Harley was leaning towards him at the moment. As a result, their faces were extremely close to each other.

Such close proximity made Calvert's heart pound wildly again!

By the time he snapped back to reality, Harley had already let go of his hand: "Done."

Harley returned home and saw his parents in the living room. He walked up to them, gave his father a hug, and then buried his face in his mother's embrace.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Valda looked at her daughter who was clinging to her. Ever since her daughter had grown up, she rarely held onto her like this.

"I just feel so lucky to be your daughter," Harley said softly. Even though she's always known how fortunate she is. Being a daughter of the Hart family, with parents who love each other deeply, such a birthright is a blessing that others might not achieve in several lifetimes.

However, after Harley saw how Calvert's father treated Calvert today, this feeling became even more pronounced.

Valda chuckled, patting her daughter's head, "Did something happen?"

"Moms always know their daughters best," Harley nodded, "I recently met a classmate. We're not in the same major. His life is somewhat difficult, and his father isn't very kind to him. So, I want to help him."

"Of course, there's no problem if you want to help someone," Valda said. "As long as you believe they're truly worth your help."
