Waking up after her rhinoplasty procedure, Olivia winced. She felt a stabbing pain on her nose that radiated to her head, forcing her eyes closed.
"Take it easy," Maxen murmured. He cupped her elbow and put a little pressure on her hand as he peeled her off the bed.
"My face hurts," she complained, feeling the discomfort exponentially intensify with her every move. Seeing Maxen open a bottle of painkiller, Olivia grabbed his forearm. "No. I can still tolerate the pain. Those painkillers are addictive."
"How did you know?"
"I was sent to rehab because I got addicted before," she deadpanned. Her belly felt ticklish upon seeing Maxen's brows furrow, forming three creases on his forehead. She wanted to laugh but her nose was numb and painful at the same time so she just groaned. "Joke. That's a joke. I researched the medications that I'll be receiving, so please relax."
