Why did she get so worked up? She was the one in pain, not Tobias.

Sometimes, she had to learn how to match her actions to the situation.

Tobias stared at her small and swollen, yet pale hand, and his eyes darkened.

He scooped some ointment with his fingertips and applied it to Natalie's hand.

Natalie felt as if an electric current penetrated through her whole body from her hand.

Tobias' movements were very gentle, but Natalie felt numb all over her body.

She had been staring at Tobias' hand, applying the ointment on hers.

Tobias' hand was beautiful, slender, but powerful. When his finger touched the back of her hand, Natalie felt a strange sensation coursing through her body.

Finally, he was done. Natalie let out a breath and sighed in relief.

Tobias' hand left hers. Natalie felt that the strange sensation in her body had also disappeared. She then shifted her focus to her hand.

Her hand felt much better after applying the ointment. Her wound was burning before. However, that feeling was now replaced with a cooling sensation as all traces of pain were gone. "This ointment is really effective." Natalie couldn't help but exclaim.

Tobias glanced at Natalie and replied faintly, "Be more careful next time."

"By the way, why didn't you give me the ointment earlier? Why did you only give it to me after you were done enjoying your meal slowly?" Natalie suddenly thought of something.

Tobias' tone was bland. "For someone who only thought of washing her scalded hand with cold water, I thought that she should suffer a little longer to teach her a lesson."

Natalie was struck dumb.

Well, it turned out that Tobias had his reasons.

As it was getting late, Natalie went to bed.
