Chapter 42 This Was Not Love

Because the lights were on, Lewis saw her wince, and he paused. He grabbed her wrist and pulled up her sleeves. Her elbows were grazed, and he could see a big bruise forming. He then pulled on her collar, her shoulders revealing a patch of green.

Lewis looked at Josephine, who had her eyes shut tight in a grimace. It took her a while to ease up.

“Why didn’t you apply medicine to it?” It was only after Lewis peeled off the bandage that he noticed.

Josephine opened her eyes and tried to hide the pain, gesturing, “I’m fine, it’s not serious.”

She didn’t dare apply any medication, since she was afraid of the effects on her baby. After all, her baby’s life was precarious.

Lewis got down from the bed, rummaging through the drawers. After a while, he came back and asked, “Where is the first aid kit?”

Josephine had always been the one to tidy up the house. It was funny when she thought about it. Lewis wasn’t familiar with his own home.

Josephine shook her head, not wanting to get any medication applied. “We don’t have one,” she gestured.

Lewis frowned and was going to pull her off the bed. “Then, let’s go to the hospital.”

Josephine was taken aback, waving her hands and gesturing hastily, “No need for the trouble, I’ve disinfected the wound. It’s fine, really. There’s a scab forming already. I’m tired. I want to sleep.”

With his eyes fixated on her, he replied, “Are you really not going?”

Josephine shook her head furiously, afraid that Lewis would think otherwise if she slowed down.
