Because of Jen's loving care, Lucas' bruise had faded faster than expected. Even he was surprised by how quickly the bruise was fading away. Jen would make sure to apply the ointment twice a day and she would put a cold compress on his nose every morning and night after his shower before his daily dosage of ointment.
He cooperated because Jen would let him put his head on her lap as she did this, so he did not complain. In fact, he wished his bruise stayed a bit longer because he had come to enjoy those moments a lot.
"It's healed up quite a lot, I think you can go to work tomorrow," Jen said as she applied a thin layer of ointment on his nose.
Lucas grunted in acknowledgement but kept his eyes closed and stayed still as she carefully spread the cream on his skin.
"Don't go back to sleep once I leave, you should have your breakfast" Jen nagged at him, but he really didn't mind it and even smiled in response
