Chapter 556

"Ssshh-!"

Sophie yelped as the hot casserole dish burned her hand. She sucked in a sharp breath of air as she quickly grabbed her earlobes to cool down.

"What happened?" James hurried into the kitchen. He noticed Sophie get hurt and immediately grabbed her hand to run it under cold water.

Sophie glanced at James, then back at the hand he was holding.

Realizing his action might have been too abrupt, James withdrew his hand. "You... do it yourself."

Sophie calmly rinsed her hand under the water, leaving James looking somewhat sheepish. He said, "I'll go find some burn cream for you."

Then, he left the kitchen and rummaged through the living room to find the first aid kit.

Sophie didn't speak and just watched James from the kitchen, saying, "Don't bother if you can't find it."

Indeed, the first aid kit was devoid of burn cream. James frowned while Sophie, unconcerned, walked to the kitchen, took out a new tube of cream, and applied it to the wound.

James immediately called out to Sophie. "What are you doing?"

"Toothpaste can also relieve burns. You don't have to look for burn cream."

Sophie spoke lightly, leaving James to examine the tube of toothpaste in his hand more closely.

Toothpaste for burns? He had never known that.
