Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1646

When Joan seemed to be limping, Dustin couldn’t help but take a closer look. Only then did he realized she was wearing a pair of slippers with her leg wrapped in a thick bandage.

“What happened to your leg?” Dustin stood up from his chair.

“It’s nothing. When I brought Leslie to the hospital yesterday, I lost my shoe along the way. After that… I accidentally cut myself,” Joan explained.

Dustin’s expression grew anxious. “What? Is that all that happened?”

He came over to support Joan and led her to the sofa by the door. Rolling up her pant leg, he examined her wound. Realizing the awkwardness, Joan subconsciously retracted her feet.

“This isn’t the first time I’m treating you.” Dustin ignored her resistance as he took the first aid kit from her.

“I brought the first aid kit because I wanted to help you treat your wounds. Look at the bruises on your face…”

“It doesn’t matter as I’m a man after all. No man cares that much about his face.”

After unwrapping the bandage of Joan’s leg, Dustin brought out some cotton buds and alcohol to help her disinfect her wound.

As the alcohol burned, Joan retracted her leg by reflex. Raising his gaze at her, Dustin’s eyes felt as if they were giving her the warmth of the sun.

“Does it hurt? I’ll be gentler so just bear with it a little longer. If it’s not cleaned properly, you will be at risk of infection.”

Dustin applied some white powder evenly over the wound. After that, he tore off some gauze and carefully bandaged her leg.

His actions were gentle as he was worried about causing her pain. However, Joan’s heart was flooded with a mix of emotions.
