Chapter 1197 The Weaker Branch Breaks First
But it was too late. The glass fragment scratched Erica's hand. She cried out, "Ah!"
Blood oozed out from her finger.
Matthew grabbed her hand and walked her away from the broken glass.
But then, Erica stepped on the chocolate, slipped and fell back awkwardly. "Argh!"

Matthew sighed. "Who told you that saliva stops bleeding?"
