The man ignored her and continued walking forward, leading her by the hand.
After buying the medicine, the two returned to his car.
Ashton Heath rolled up the car window, opened a tube of ointment, and gently applied it to her face with a cotton swab.
"Hss." Even though his touch was gentle, Joanna Lawrence winced in pain.
Ashton immediately stopped, looking worried, "Did I hurt you?"
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt that much now."
It was painful when the ointment was first applied, but soon Joanna felt a cooling sensation on her face, and the pain subsided significantly.
"Should I continue applying the medicine?"
"Mhm."
Ashton picked up the cotton swab and continued to apply ointment on the swollen area of her face. This time, his gestures were even gentler and more cautious.
It was as if he was treating a priceless treasure.
As he applied the ointment, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
