Olivia went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she looked in the mirror, she was a mess. Her hair was tangled and messy. She could even grab a fistful of hair. That woman was ruthless.
However, Brittany was also a mess. Olivia had yanked off a lot of her hair, and those punches on her face were hard. That was for her showing off! Moreover, Brittany was Lily's love rival. Helping her friend manage her romantic rival was, therefore, acceptable.
Thinking of this, Olivia felt righteous and great. She brushed her hair in front of the mirror, washed her face and neck, and then walked out of the bathroom.
"Sit down." Edward pointed to the seat in front of him.
Olivia pouted, "No need! It's just a small injury."
"The injury may not be big, but the number of cases of tetanus infection due to a small injury every year is about 1 in 600,000, and the cases of death due to tetanus infection are..."
"Fine, I'll put the medicine on, all right?"
At first, Olivia's impression of Edward was that he was dull. Then she realized that he was hard on the outside and soft on the inside.
When she thought Edward had trouble expressing himself, he would babble high-sounding truths until everyone was left speechless. At the same time, when thinking he could talk a lot, they could sit together for the better part of the afternoon without him even opening his mouth.
He was a combination of extreme contradictions. Frankly, he treated Olivia quite nicely.
When the cotton swab was dipped with medicine and wiped on the cut on her face, Olivia could not help but gasp, "Ouch, it hurts!"
"Why’d you fight with her?" Edward asked while carefully applying the medicine.
"You should know that she hit me first! I just retaliated in self-defense," Olivia said confidently.
