Chapter 2812

However, Tia's legs were still a little wonky and unsteady from all the heavy drinking. She simply stood there, swaying for a moment, before nearly tipping over again.

"Ah!" Tia cried out as a sharp pain shot up her ankle.

Catching this in a split second, he quickly reached out and grabbed her before she could fall. "What's wrong?"

"I think I twisted my ankle," Tia said.

The sudden pang of pain soon sobered her up, and Stanley was left to crouch down and examine the injury in Tia's foot.

"Ouch!" Tia flinched in pain.

"You've sprained it," Stanley informed.

Feeling sorry for her, he stood up and proposed, "Let's get you back to your place. I'll apply some medicine for you."

"Thanks," Tia thanked softly.

As Tia attempted to limp her way back home, Stanley decided to pick her up.

Instinctively holding onto Stanley's neck, Tia looked at him in surprise and asked, "What are you doing?"

"You shouldn't move when you're injured," Stanley reminded Tia, and held onto her even tighter.

Upon looking up, she saw Stanley's visage hovering over her. She bit her lip, feeling a cocktail of complex emotions about the situation.

For the first time ever, she truly felt that he was by her side. They were so close together, and in that moment of closeness, she felt that he could truly be relied on. She could even feel his strong heartbeat alongside her own, which seemed to be racing faster with each passing second. Then, she quickly averted her gaze, afraid to look at him any longer.

After taking Tia back to her room, Stanley grabbed the medical kit from the other room, came back, and brought the ointments out.

"I can do it on my own, thanks," Tia said in an attempt to stop him.

She felt very uncomfortable seeing him crouching over and helping her out with her twisted foot.

In response, Stanley glanced at her and explained, "This isn't just about applying an ointment to the affected area. You have to massage it as well. It will heal your injury quicker that way."
