When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 110 Keeping Her Around

Leo ran back and flung the door open. The first thing he saw was Elyse clutching her hand in pain, and shards of glass were scattered all over the ground.

Elyse sniffled, tears glistening in her eyes. “I was going to get a glass of water, and then the glass exploded in my face.”

The ground was covered in steaming water. The glass must have exploded in her hand.

She put her hand down, revealing her scalding arm.

He quickly approached her and placed her hand under the faucet. Then he turned it on and cleaned her wound with cold water. At the same time, he called the doctor.

It didn’t take long for the doctor to arrive. He cleaned her wound and dabbed some salve on it. Elyse put on a look of agony throughout the whole ordeal. She leaned closer to Leo, biting her lip tightly. And tears welled in her eyes.

“It’s not a serious burn. And I got here in time. Should heal in three days.” The doctor bandaged the wound and adjusted his mask. Then, he left.

Leo created some distance between him and Elyse. “You heard him. It’s not serious.” He picked the blanket up and covered it over her.

Elyse stared at him intently, a frown creasing her forehead like she was in great pain. “But my hand hurts a lot. Feels like a ton of ants are biting away at it. Can you stay for the night? Please?”

He pursed his lips and stared at her bandaged hand. Well, she did stay by my side when I was blind. And he nodded. “Very well.”
