Caroline could see him twitch when her lips landed on his bare skin. And for a moment, she stood still, not knowing what to do next.
But he didn't move. He just slightly turned his face, watching her from the corner of his eyes, and asked, "Is it done?"
"In a second!" She muttered, hurriedly putting the plastic tag into her mouth and pulling it hard. But unfortunately, in the process, she cut her lips instead.
"Ouuchhh!" she muttered and immediately clutched her lower lip.
"What happened?" He immediately turned toward her.
"Ugh… Nothing... Nothing!" She said, covering her mouth as she could taste the metal of blood inside.
"Dr. Caroline! Please let me see."
Upon hearing his insistent voice, she removed her hand but sucked onto her lower lip, expecting him to see that everything was fine. But she should have known that he was someone who cared a bit too much for her.
