That scene made Shaun's blood boil, and his heart could not help but clench in pain.
He hurriedly pulled a bath towel and rushed over to wrap the tiny body in it tightly. Then, he picked Suzie up in his arms and quickly walked out of the bathroom.
While Suzie was carried to the bedroom bed, she sobbed. "It hurts... It's so cold..."
Shaun touched her skin, and when he found it icy cold, he checked her body to see a bruise on her elbow.
"Suzie, it’s okay. Uncle will dress you right away." Shaun took the quilt and wrapped it around her. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Sarah, who was coming over with a set of children's clothes.
She looked flustered and aggrieved. "Shaun, I’m sorry.
I didn't know how she suddenly fell..."
"I told you to bathe her, but is this how you do it? You were just sitting there when she fell."
A wave of inexplicable anger welled up in Sarah. It was the first time Shaun could not control his anger towards her.
"I... I didn't mean to. I was so shocked that I couldn’t react in time."
Sarah's eyes teared up at his yelling. She bit her lip and reached out to Suzie. "Suzie, Aunty will dress you."
"No, I don't want you to dress me." Suzie shrank back i n fear, her eyes full of resistance.
"Enough. I'll do it." Shaun took the clothes and quickly helped Suzie put them on.
To the side, Sarah clenched her fists in anger with a pale face.
She could not believe that Shaun had gotten angry at her time and time again because of a child. Was that really necessary? Suzie was not even his.
After getting dressed, Shaun carried Suzie to the next room.
When he took the ointment over, Suzie shrank and hid to one side with tears hanging from her eyelashes. "I don’t want it."
"Be good, Suzie. You'll only get better if you apply the ointment." Although Shaun was very distressed, he had to speak in a serious tone.
