Maggie began to wonder if he had nodded off. Then she noticed the slow movement of the boy’s slende fingers as he reached for a cotton swab and disinfectant.

Nathael hesitated, but she had already taken them, so he simply turned away without a word.

Moonlight filtered into the cramped storage room, casting a silvery glow. Amidst the dust particles floating in the air, Nathael sat with his bare back facing Maggie.

Maggie carefully tended to his wounds, making do with the limited supply of cotton swabs. Thankfully, she managed to treat all his injuries.

However, there was one spot on his back that seemed particularly troublesome. It was oozing pus and blood and was visibly swollen.

After a brief silence, Maggie cautiously probed the area with the cotton swab.

Nathael tensed, feeling more discomfort compared to the other injuries.

Without waiting for Nathael’s reaction, Maggie leaned in from behind and said, “This spot is swollen and filled with pus. Should I open it up and drain the blood? It would hurt a lot though.”

Maggie knew that leaving it untreated could lead to further complications.
