Anna ran back to her room, panting as she closed the door, her heart beating violently. She covered her face in embarrassment, feeling very sorry for herself. She would not have been so nervous at that moment, and would have acted as if nothing had happened and answered the question calmly.
Anna felt so shy and humiliated that she no longer had a face for Matthew. Anna did not know what Matteo's behavior the night before meant and thought the best thing was to pretend that nothing had happened.
With this in mind, Anna made up her mind: if she pretended nothing had happened and returned to her normal state, all difficulties could be solved.
Anna took a deep breath and found the courage to open the door again. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she saw Matthew standing at the door to her room.
Startled, she took a few steps back and asked:
-What are you doing here?
"Isn't he downstairs talking to Clare? Why is he here?"
-Does she eat so little?
Since Matthew was concerned about Anna's health, the first thing she asked him was why he ate so little.
Anna nodded and replied, -I'm full, I can't eat anymore.
-Eat a little more and then I will take you back.
Anna had not been home all night, and her parents must have been worried about her. In fact, Matthew should have taken her to the hospital last night and sent her home after the doctor's treatment.
But Anna did not want to worry her parents, so she asked Matteo to accompany her to the hotel. Matteo did not want Anna to spend the night alone in the hotel, not to mention the fact that she was still...
Matteo saw the cut on Anna's face, which still had slight red marks even though she had applied ointment last night.
-Does your face still hurt? -Matteo asked again in a gentle tone, reaching out and gently stroking the bruises on Anna's face.
Anna could not help but tremble like a frightened little lamb, and Matteo frowned when he asked:
-Does it hurt? You have to keep using the ointment.
In fact, Anna's wound no longer hurt.
Although the slap had hurt last night, Matthew had given her an anti-inflammatory ointment, and Anna had used it on her face last night and was now almost healed.
However, when Matteo's cold fingertips touched her cheek, Anna could not control her nervous feelings and winced, Anna suppressed her emotions and replied:
-It doesn't hurt, I feel much better.
-What about the medicine the doctor gave you? -Matthew asked.
-It's in the room, I'll bring it to you right away.
-I will bring it to you now.
So Anna took the ointment, went to Matthew and obediently handed it to him. But just as Anna was handing out the ointment, it occurred to her that she had the wound on her face and could have applied it herself in front of the mirror. However, now that she had handed the ointment to Matthew, he would surely help her do so. With this in mind, Anna suddenly tried to stop Matthew: -I prefer to do it myself!
Anna lowered her head, trying to avoid Matteo's touch, but he had already opened the lid and dipped his fingers in the ointment.
-Don't move.
Anna could hear Matteo's breath curling a small lock of hair on her forehead before he sprayed it on her face. Anna blinked nervously as she felt Matteo's slightly warm fingers slide over her face little by little. All the way to the end of the process.
