Cedric was focused on chasing after Noelle and didn't notice his footing. He tripped and fell to the ground, letting out a muffled groan.

Upon hearing the sound, Noelle turned and saw Cedric on the floor. She rushed back to help him up. "Are you okay?"

She noticed his hand was bleeding. "I'll get the first-aid kit."

However, Cedric grabbed her hand. "Don't go."

Noelle looked down. "Let's stop the bleeding first."

"I'll go with you." Cedric got up and walked with her.

Jim had been watching the whole thing. When he saw Cedric getting injured, he quickly stepped forward. "The first-aid kit is in my office."

The two of them followed Jim into the office, where he handed the kit to Noelle. "I have something to take care of. You help him."

He left before Noelle could say anything. Noelle had no choice but to open the kit and disinfect Cedric's wound. Then, she glanced at the injury.
