Eric mercilessly shut Chance out the door.
Selena could vaguely hear Eric say impatiently, “Are you done with your homework? If that man is that great, why doesn’t he just float up to space?”
Chance said in a low voice, “I thought only astronauts are able to go to space?”
......
Bang!
The door closed.
Eric came back by himself.
Selena frowned at him and shook her head.
“Do you know why your son never complimented you?”
Eric raised his eyebrows slightly and looked indifferent.
“That’s because I don’t have to pretend to impress others.”
He implied that Zachary was putting on a show and trampled on him.
Selena was shocked by Eric’s thick skin.
Eric sat next to her and opened the first aid kit. When he saw her injured leg, his eyes darkened, and his face tightened.
Some gravel was embedded in her knees. The blood had dried up, and the wounded area that was as big as his palm was mottled and bloodied.
Eric paused. His eyes were as calm as a deep lake.
“Why don’t we go to the hospital to see if there’s any fracture?”
Selena did not want to go to the hospital and make a big deal out of a minor abrasion.
“No need. Just wash and disinfect it.”
Selena sat there and finally showed a smile on her embarrassed face.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Just as Eric was about to make a move, he suddenly stopped.
He straightened up and looked at her, pondering for a few seconds.
“If I help you clean your wound, you won’t think that I’m taking advantage of you and have bad intentions, right?”
Selena did not know what was going on in his mind.
However, she had to be nice since she was in his house.
He would not have to do all this if he sent her back to the bar.
However, besides the servants and Chance, Eric was the only one available.
Selena did not know the two servants well, so she did not want to face their scrutinizing eyes. Thus, she would not seek their help.
Chance was still a child who could not even take care of himself.
Thus, Selena had no choice but to ask Eric for help.
She took a deep breath. She had a bright fake smile on her face as she said, “Of course not! I’m not an ungrateful and petty person.”
Eric curled his lips, obviously not believing her.
“You’re not?”
“Fine. Since you don’t want to help, I’ll just do it myself.”
Selena did not pretend to be meek. Her leg was injured. It was not a broken bone, so she could still move. This was just a skin abrasion, and she had endured much worse than this when Derek Norton beat her in the past.
She was already used to it.
As she said that, Selena was about to get off the bed. However, before her feet touched the ground, she was pushed back on the bed again.
The man looked at her arrogantly and indifferently.
“I’ll just have to believe you.”
After saying that, Eric went to the bathroom and came out with a clean wet towel.
Eric had never attended to anyone before. He sat beside Selena and looked at her injured knees so seriously as if he was facing a difficult cross-border collaboration.
He carefully wiped the dirt on the side and used tweezers to carefully pick out the small gravel embedded in her flesh.
Then, he picked up the disinfectant to clean the wound. He was afraid that he would use too much force. If so, this woman would yell at him and say that he was taking revenge on her.
In fact, he did not care that she would scold him.
He was probably afraid that she would be in pain.
When Eric finished dealing with the wound, he did not notice that he was already sweating profusely.
