Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 706

Halfway through, Scales wanted to lend a hand, but his offer was turned down. Mamie quipped, "You think I can't handle this?"

Scales looked at her determination, and with both his hands already full with two large grocery bags, he conceded.

He didn't expect, though, that after climbing up to the seventh floor, Mamie was drenched in sweat, looking like she'd just run a marathon in the middle of summer.

In contrast, Scales seemed just fine, a bit more flushed than usual but breathing easy, only his heart rate slightly elevated.

Roseanne came to open the door for them.

She had already prepared slippers for her guests.

The doctor had said that Roseanne's injured foot was healing well and technically she could walk on it, but to be safe, he recommended she avoid exerting too much pressure and keep her movements to a minimum.

So, as soon as the door opened, Scales and Mamie saw her hopping on one foot, carefully setting down her injured foot without putting any weight on it.

"Oh, Roseanne! Take it easy!" Mamie rushed over to support her.

Scales followed Mamie's lead, lending a hand on the other side.

Seeing their cautious demeanor, Roseanne couldn't help but chuckle.
