All the small pieces had been taken out. Isaac asked Alaina to put some iodine on his palm again and cover it
with an antiseptic dressing, "Now you only need to bandage it."
Alaina nodded, took out the gauze roll and began to bandage the wound.
Her movements were very light, and she was skilled. She bandaged the wound in a clean and tidyway, and it was not messy at all.
In the end, she paused and looked at the small part of gauze in front of her. She simply pulled it over and made a random knot.
Looking at what she had made, Alaina breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay now."
As soon as she looked up, she saw Isaac looking straight at her. Her eyes were so intense. It seemed that there were many emotions in his eyes.
Alaina's heart skipped a beat as she quickly lowered her head, "What's... wrong? Did I do anything wrong?"
Isaac looked at his own hand, "No, you did a good job."
He was too close to her, so she could smell the pleasant smell on his body. When he spoke, she could even feel his breathing. She clenched her fists, put away the medicine chest in a hurry, and then rushed into the kitchen to take a towel to clean his blood.
Isaac didn't say anything and just looked at her actions. He looked at her seriously, but some complicated emotions flashed through his eyes.
When Alaina cleaned it up, Isaac stood up, "Thank you for not minding what I have done to you and helping me. It's late. Go to sleep."
As soon as Alaina stood up, she widened her eyes when she heard this, "What did you say?" Her heart beat so fast that she felt that she might die of shock and disbelief at any time.
"I said." Isaac sighed, "You can go to sleep now."
Alaina swallowed with difficulty, "Do you mean... you want me to... sleep here?"
"I think that I have made it clear to you."
"Well..." Alaina panicked, "I want to go home. If I... don't go home, my brother will be worried. So, I must go back."
Isaac's expression did not change, "You have his phone number. You can tell him that you're not going home today. Well, from now on, you'll live here.'
"No! I have to..."
Isaac glanced at her. The look in his eyes rendered Alaina speechless, because his eyes were threatening.
Alaina suddenly wanted to laugh. In fact, she really laughed out loud, "Mr. Bai, you... I remember that I helped you just now."
"Do you want to say that I can't go too far? Or are you going to say that I shouldn't force you for the sake of your help?"
Alaina nodded, "That's right!"
"But." Isaac raised his eyebrows, "I have never asked you to help me." After that, he shook his head, "No, that's not right. I asked you to help me get the medicine chest. Other than that, it seems that you took the initiative to do those things."
Alaina was stunned. For a moment, she did not know how to refute.
After a long while, she said tentatively, "So, you mean that I asked for it?"
"No. To be more precise, you're kind and willing to help others."
Alaina couldn't be angrier, "You..." She thought for a long time before saying, "You sanctimonious hypocrite!"
