Maureen stood up. “I’ll leave now.”

You’re lucky it’s just minor injuries.”

Sean looked at her with concern.

Maureen remained silent.

She’d seen through Sean’s unpredictable moods long ago.

She quickly applied the ointment. “Mr. Robson, I’m done. May I leave now?”

Meeting the woman’s clear yet distant gaze, Sean’s heart clenched painfully.
