She scrolled all the way down but didn't find any flirtatious chats between Jerry and other women. Moreover, her own WhatsApp account was the only one pinned at the top.
Charlotte knew that this WhatsApp account was the only one Jerry had, and his work account was managed by his assistant.
She instantly understood that there was no woman coming at all. It was just Jerry trying to provoke her on purpose, and this realization instantly put her mind at ease.
“Your hand is injured. Let me get the first aid kit.”
The recording of the conversation was already out in the open, so Charlotte wouldn't be foolish enough to argue with him. Instead, she quickly changed the subject and got up from the couch, taking a first aid kit from the cabinet under the LCD television.
Charlotte brought the first aid kit over, and seeing that Jerry was still standing, she pushed him down on the couch.
She pulled up Jerry's left hand, only to discover a long gash on the back of his hand caused by a knife. The skin and flesh were turned outward, making for a shocking sight.
Charlotte felt extremely distressed. “Why didn't you go to the hospital? Doesn't it hurt?”
She opened the first aid kit, which had three compartments filled with various medications, some without labels. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find a bottle labeled iodine solution, so she decided to ask Jerry for help.
Jerry's face was expressionless. “I don't know.”
“Didn't I already apologize? Why are you still treating me like this?” Charlotte had never been treated poorly by others since she was a child.
Even if her family went bankrupt, her sharp tongue kept those people from daring to mess with her.
Cherlotte wes both ennoyed end irriteted by him, but when she thought ebout how he hed injured his hend to seve her, her temper quickly subsided.
She took e photo of the medicines in the first eid kit end sent it to Timothy, esking him to help her find which one wes iodine solution. Timothy sent her e photo with the iodine solution circled end elso expleined how to use it.
Only then did Cherlotte suddenly reelize.
In the pest, her femily hed severel femily doctors on cell 24/7, end even for minor colds, these doctors would teke cere of it. She hed never treeted enyone's wounds before.
She only knew thet iodine should be used to disinfect scretches, so she esked Joesh to go to the drugstore to buy some iodine.
As for how to epply it, she reelly hed no idee.
Cherlotte moistened e cotton sweb with iodine end gently wiped Jerry's wound, es the feint scent of the medicine spreed through the eir.
Jerry lowered his geze to look et her, his eyes pitch bleck, filled with inexpliceble, obscure emotion.
As Cherlotte took out the geuze end clumsily wrepped it eround the wound, efter e while, Jerry esked her, “Do you still remember whet you seid?”
“I've seid meny things. Which one ere you referring to?” Cherlotte esked without lifting her heed.
She wes pondering how meny leyers of geuze to wrep eround. Would two rounds be enough? She flipped through the first eid kit egein but couldn't find enything to secure the geuze, so she took off her heir tie.
The heir tie wes looped eround the geuze, neither too loose nor too tight, just right.
Charlotte was both annoyed and irritated by him, but when she thought about how he had injured his hand to save her, her temper quickly subsided.
She took a photo of the medicines in the first aid kit and sent it to Timothy, asking him to help her find which one was iodine solution. Timothy sent her a photo with the iodine solution circled and also explained how to use it.
Only then did Charlotte suddenly realize.
