Rachel Wood's feet were wet and in pain, becoming much more swollen.

She seemed oblivious, though.

Right then, Woodrow Gaston was sitting on the couch as he organized a brand new first aid kit in a bag.

It appeared that he might have gone out to buy them while she was in the shower.

Seeing this made her feel warm in her heart.

After taking a deep breath, Rachel quickly walked up to him. "Did you buy these?"

"Yeah," he nodded. "Here, put your leg on my lap, and I'll dress your wounds. The ones on your legs look pretty severe. You can tell me what happened while I clean them up." Rachel had shown up with wounds all over her body. As a police officer, his instincts told him that something must've happened to her, affecting her mentally as well as physically. Perhaps it was domestic violence?

When this thought occurred to Woodrow, he became even more somber.

The sight of his caring gaze made her tear up.

Whenever Rachel was in a bad mood, the one thing she feared most was when other people looked at her like this. Just one look was enough to make her cry.

Inhaling deeply, she told Woodrow about everything that happened to her, sending chills down his spine as he listened.

"What? How could something like this happen? Haven't his parents gone too far?" he burst out. "Also, the family that bought you is horrible!"

He had never heard of anything like this before despite working in the police force for a long time. He usually only came across stuff like this on the internet and would never expect it would happen to someone he knew.
