Wang Duo didn't know how to comfort Seow Seow, who had already regained her spirits. Accompanied by Wang Duo, she walked straight to a room on the side of the kitchen and soon came out with a wooden box.
She asked me to sit on the sofa and then took out a bottle of transparent liquid from the box, along with some cotton swabs and gauze.
She carefully unwrapped the cloth tied around my arm, then had Wang Duo roll up the sleeve of my shirt. Not knowing whether it was intentional or not, he touched my wound, causing a sharp, penetrating pain.
Seow Seow opened the bottle containing the transparent liquid, which was when I realized it was alcohol.
Seow Seow gave me a gentle smile and asked me to bear with it. Before I could react, some of the alcohol from the bottle was poured onto my wound. I bit down hard, and beads of sweat immediately formed on my forehead.
