Isabelle looked at his tense face. Her eyebrows raised slightly, and she slowed down her movements while drying her hair.

George was holding back his anger as he saw the girl suddenly reach out and touch his forehead. Her soft thumb pressed gently between his eyebrows and massaged lightly.

He was slightly stunned.

George watched her.

Her thumb was slightly damp, and as she pressed against his brow, the sensation was cold.

George didn’t know if it was the dopamine release or just her touch.

She managed to comfort him.

He quickly calmed down.
