Austin quickly took off his gloves and said gently, "Don't move. Let me do it."

He then carefully lifted Suzanne's upper eyelid and gently blew over her eye. After making sure that whatever was irritating her eye was gone, he said, "Done. Try blinking and see if it's still there."

Suzanne slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times. After confirming there was no discomfort, she finally let out a breath of relief and smiled at Austin. "It's fine now."
