Sophie took the ointment and band-aid, and the living room suddenly felt awkward with the silence hanging in the air.

"Um... I'll head upstairs now."

"Can you manage on your own?" "...Yes."

"Show me you can do it."

Clearing her throat to prove herself, Sophie sat on the couch. She unscrewed the cap and sprinkled the powder onto the wound on her hand. But because her right hand was injured, her left hand felt clumsy, causing some of the powder to spill. With the powder on her wound, her right hand was completely immobilized.

And the band-aid still lay unopened on the table.

Hmm... opening a band-aid one-handed was indeed tricky.

Sophie said, "I was too hasty, got the steps wrong. If I had torn open the band-aid first..."

Before Sophie could further explain, Gordon had already torn open the band-aid and carefully applied it to her finger.

Gordon's movements were meticulous, even the band-aid was placed perfectly.

"Mr. Gordon, do you know what Colby went to do?"

"It's not hard to guess, he probably went to find the person who knows who's behind all this."

"Griffin?"

Sophie was taken aback.
