Nyla pressed her lips together and looked down. “Yes.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Clark glanced at her phone on the table and said calmly, “I believe you. I brought some ointment. Let me help you apply it.”

She took the ointment from him. “Thank you.”

“I’m your husband. It’s my duty to take care of you,” Clark said.

“I’m going to rest now,” Nyla told him.

“Alright, I’ll get back to work,” Clark replied.
