Ellen did not say anything and just shook her head.
Soon, Jamie came back with the ointment. When he saw that the distance between the two remained the same, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jamie handed the ointment to Kenyon and asked, "Do you want to put Ellen on a drip first or apply the ointment?"
Kenyon handed the ointment to the nurse and said, "The ointment will be applied after you go back. I will put her on a drip now."
Jamie raised his eyebrows. "Don't you apply the ointment for her?"
Kenyon looked up at Jamie and said lightly, "No. If you need help, you can turn to the nurse."
Jamie raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "I will apply it to her personally."
Kenyon acted as if he hadn't heard anything. Seeing the nurse put Ellen on a drip, he went back to his desk outside.
Jamie rolled a cigarette between his fingers and stood a few steps away from the desk to size up Kenyon.
