Adam Jones had intended to say it didn't hurt, but when confronted with his wife's worried eyes, he immediately nodded, frowning as he said, "Yeah, it hurts a lot."
"Bear with it."
Adam Jones: "..."
He had thought his wife would at least comfort him gently, or say "then I'll be gentle," or perhaps "let wife blow on it," but instead, she coldly smacked him down with those two words.
Seeing his astonished expression, Elly Campbell averted her gaze, her lips curving slightly as she began to tend to his wound.
Because of the anesthetic, Elly's stitching didn't cause Adam much feeling, and he watched the woman half-kneeling before him just like that time in the hotel.
But, despite the similar situation, his mood was surprisingly different.
That time, he deeply felt like Elly was going to leave him for good, and that feeling of losing the whole world in an instant made him profoundly understand what 'living in pain' truly meant.
