Chapter 43 The Gentle Man
“Where is the medical kit?” “It’s in the drawer under the coffee table.”
Soon, Pierre brought the medicine box from under the coffee table and took Selena’s hand in his. The wound was not long, but it was still quite deep, so Pierre first took the alcohol swab to disinfect it, and then applied the medicinal powder on it.
As he did all this, Selena kept watching his eyes. The first time she saw him, she had felt that this man was an unfeeling and emotionless person. Otherwise, why would his eyes be so cold? They were glacial enough to turn people into ice! But now when she was looking at his eyes that were like two bottomless pools, they had a trace of gentleness within them hidden beneath the layer of mysteriousness. Hence, Selena looked on, mesmerized.
“Done.” Pierre finished bandaging her wound and let go of her hand. His bandaging technique was not as perfect as it usually was. As this was a necessary skill to pick up when he was in the army, he had perfected the skill, but when he was so close to Selena just now, the fragrance of her body kept distracting his thoughts, and his mind kept going back to what happened earlier in the kindergarten.
Besides, he could occasionally see from the corner of his eyes her fluttering long eyelashes that caused his heart to itch with an unbearable urge, so he simply did not have the mental capacity to bandage the wound perfectly.
“T-Thank you.” Selena used her other hand to hold her injured hand, not even daring to raise her eyes to look at Pierre. The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became a little awkward, as Pierre did not want to go out, and Selena did not know what she was supposed to do next. Hence, they just kept standing around like this.
“I’m fine. I still can cook, and I’ve already prepared everything. U-Um… W-Why don’t you go out and wait? I-I’ll call you when it’s d-done,” Selena stammered. However, Pierre did not hear anything at all.
