"Of course, I had to come." Joanna said, her heart filled with gratitude as she walked beside him. After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "How does it feel now? Is the wound still very painful?"
Maddox Allenson's burn on the back of his hand was treated as soon as he arrived at the hospital.
Although the medication had been applied, it still looked quite shocking.
Maddox noticed the concern and guilt in her eyes, and his heart warmed, making the pain on the back of his hand seem less unbearable.
He looked at her with even gentler eyes and a softer voice, "The doctor applied medicine just now, and it's much better. It's not so painful anymore."
Mike, standing next to him, moved his lips and wore an unbearable expression on his face.
What does "not so painful anymore" mean? He had been clearly in so much pain earlier that his face turned pale and was covered in cold sweat.
