He merely looked down at her and kept mum.
However, Sigrun soon heard a set of footsteps walking down the stairs.
Around ten minutes later, both of them were seen taking the dog out for a walk. From a distance, one could see both their elongated shadows under the streetlights on both sides of the road.
"Ian, where shall we go today? We went to the east side yesterday."
"Let's go to the west, then." Although Ian's tone was monotonous, there was a hint of warmth.
Susan was overjoyed when she heard that.
She then held on to the leash and patted the dog on its head. "Lotus, let's have a competition, shall we? Let's see who arrives there first."
Ian remained silent.
"Woof!" the dog barked.
With that, it lifted its legs and ran into the distance.
Left behind, Susan chased after it and shouted, "Hey, Lotus! How could you just run away? stop right there! stop!"
At that moment, the whole street could hear her shouting.
Ian was utterly perplexed, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. How silly can this woman be?
He ran after them as well, but when he finally caught up with her, the dog was nowhere to be seen. As for Susan, she was seen bending down and rubbing her knee.
"What happened? Did you fall?" Ian asked.
"What?" Susan didn't dare to raise her head. This is so humiliating!
With her head still lowered, she suddenly saw a shadow in front of her. Ian then squatted down in front of her and looked at her trousers.
Susan was stunned.
"Bear with it for a while.” Ian reached out his hands and rolled up her trousers. Right then, he saw the wound on Susan's knee.
In fact, the injury was quite serious.
As Susan was gasping in pain, she saw Ian's gaze turned gloomy.
"Are you a pig or something?"
"What?" Susan was dumbfounded, and she was at a loss. Pig? Did he just call me a pig? Am I not his aunt? How dare he call me a pig?
When Susan raised her gaze toward him, she could feel her heart pounding.
"All right. Let's head back and deal with your wound." Ian stood up and got ready to help her walk.
