“Why didn’t you pull your hand back?”
Christina hurriedly pulled the door open with a worried frown and rushed to check Nathaniel’s hand. His fingertips and palms were red and swollen.
“Mr. Hadley, are you okay? We should go to the hospital in case there are fractures,” Sebastian interjected with concern.
“All right. Let’s go now!”

“Don’t touch water, and make sure to take the medicine three times a day. Remember to wrap the gauze properly. You’ll be fine in a week or so.” After giving these instructions, the doctor told them to settle the fees.

Christina hesitated for a moment. Realizing she was the one who caused Nathaniel’s injury, she had no choice but to agree.

Right after entering the house, Christina walked into the kitchen. “Are you hungry? I’ll make you some
