Henry was finally assured once he saw the seriousness in Kate's eyes. He slowly released his grasp on her hem and watched her intently, ensuring she didn't leave through the front door.
Luckily, she went to the bathroom and returned with the first aid kit.
Kate was horrified by the amount of blood dripping from Henry's nose. She yelled at him as she tried to open the first aid kit, "Go pinch your nose and open your mouth, Henry! Your nosebleed is bad!"
"Oh—okay—" Henry followed Kate's instructions. He pinched his nose and opened his mouth to breathe. He went to the kitchen sink and spat out the blood that collected in his mouth. Kate then told him to sit, and she treated him with antibiotic ointment inside his nostril and then used an ice pack to compress his nose bridge.
Since his forehead was also bruised, Kate grabbed another ice pack and gave it to Henry, "Here, put this on your forehead to reduce the swelling. You can do that, right?"
