Everett fetched the ointment. He made a special trip to the bathroom to wash his hands before returning to apply it for her.
Dorothy flinched back a bit. Even though they had been quite close before, his sudden proximity made her uncomfortable.
“I can do it myself! It's not like it's in a place I can't reach.”
With that, she reached for the ointment.
Everett didn't hand it over. His eyes gradually hinted at annoyance. “Lean your face over here.”
“Really, I don't need…”
He didn't say anything more. He just stared at her.
Helpless, Dorothy obediently leaned in like a child.
Because they were so close, she could even see the tiny fuzz on Everett's face. His skin was so exquisite that she wouldn't have noticed it if they weren't that close.
Everett carefully spread the ointment evenly on her face. It was cool and comforting.
Dorothy unintentionally looked up at him.
His focused and serious gaze was as if he was dealing with something he cherished very much. He was careful not to apply too lightly, lest it would have been ineffective. But he didn’t apply too heavily either, fearing that it might have caused her pain.
Everett was really good-looking. It wasn't the kind of beauty that appealed to women, but a natural, masculine charm.
His features were deep and three-dimensional, his jawline firm and striking. His eyes were like ink, inviting and captivating, even his eyelashes looked as if they had been grafted on!
“If it's still swollen tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital after work.”
The sound of his voice brought Dorothy back to reality and she lowered her head. “I'm not that delicate.”
It was safe to say that at that point, he was the only one who truly cared about her, which was why she occasionally felt feelings she shouldn't have.
“When you're with me, I allow you to be delicate.”
His words were soft, but his tone was resolute and undeniable.
Dorothy looked up at him, and their eyes met.
Neither of them looked away until he spoke, “You need something from me, right?”
Dorothy didn’t say anything.
