Chapter 116

Jocelyn’s chin and palms were in pretty bad shape after her tumble, and the nurse had to wrap both her hands after tending to the

wounds.

Her knees were swollen too, but thankfully, there were no scrapes or breaks in the skin.

“Keep it dry and steer clear of spicy food, the nurse instructed as she packed up her kit. “Change the dressing once a day as prescribed.”

Jocelyn peered down at her bandaged hands, frowning. How on earth was she supposed to face school tomorrow looking like this?

Before leaving, the nurse turned to Melvin. “You’ll need to look after her until her injuries heal, or it’ll get infected. And no showers for a couple of days. You don’t want to get those bandages wet.”

Jocelyn frowned, wanting to clarify her relationship with Melvin to the nurse.

Melvin carried her out into the night, where it was now quiet and empty.

“What if you fall again? Melvin made it clear he wasn’t going to comply with her requests.

Jocelyn didn’t dare to argue, simply letting him carry her out of the hospital.

When they reached his car, he carefully set her down and opened the door.

“I don’t need a ride. I’ll get a taxi,” Jocelyn insisted. Remembering her purse and phone were in the back seat, she reached for the door to grab them.
