Chapter 972

"Hang on!" Sherilyn's face tightened with concern, "I'm going to find a doctor!"

She quickly got up and hurried out, returning soon with a doctor in tow.

"Doctor, can we give him something for the pain?"

"Just a moment..."

After a thorough inquiry into Gilbert's condition, the doctor asked, "Mr. Harrison, can you bear the pain?"

"Why would you ask that?" Sherilyn was getting impatient, "Just because he can bear it, does it mean he should suffer?" "Ms. Gomez."

The doctor explained, "Mr. Harrison has had a finger reattached. Pain medication, while easing the pain, can also numb other sensations... This could interfere with monitoring his condition and his recovery. As a rule, we avoid pain medication when possible." Sherilyn was taken aback, her gaze shifting uncertainly to Gilbert.

"It's okay." Gilbert offered her a weak smile. "Let's listen to the doctor. I can handle it."

Sherilyn was at a loss for words, eventually nodding in agreement.

What else could she say? It had to be this way.

After the doctor left, Sherilyn sat beside Gilbert, wondering what else she could do for him.

"Shall I get a damp cloth for you?"

Wiping his brow seemed like a small comfort.

"No need."

As she stood, Gilbert caught her hand.

Sherilyn looked down at their hands, her brow furrowing, tempted to pull away.
