"What?". He asked squinting his eyes a little.
I cleared my throat and finished unwrapping the bandage from his arm. "You didn't reject or stop me from attending to you". It came out in a low whisper but I guess he heard me.
He didn't respond nor did he react in any way so I guessed he didn't have any option as to who would treat him plus I worked in his quarters as his slave.
"It's late, you can go". He said immediately I was done cleaning the wound and covering a bandage over it.
Wow! He did want to get rid of me real quick.
"I don't need anyone to spend the night here watching over me". He added. "I know Hattie put you up to this but let her know I don't need all that".
"Al…"
"And if I do need anyone, I'd let Marcy know"
"But she…"
"I need rest. Please shut the door on your way out".
