Looking at James who was silent and lost in thought, Isaac raised his eyebrows and there was a faint smile on his lips.
He didn't say much but handed the medicine to him. "Take this and apply it to Elizabeth three times a day."
James looked at it and reached out to take it.
"When you take off the gauze, you can also use it. There won't be scars."
Looking at the small medicine box in his hand, James rubbed the label on it with his fingers. "Me?"
"Right." Isaac nodded.
The round medicine box was so small. James pinched it in his palm and said lightly, "I don't need that. Just give it all to her."
Isaac listened and looked at him in confusion as if he had seen an alien. "It is really a little expensive, but do you care about the money?"
The three of them had grown up together, and he was the one who cared most about his appearance. If he used this, he would be able to remove the snake bite marks from his legs. Then he wouldn't be uncomfortable with the two small scars.
How could he say that he didn't need to use it now?
"Don't worry about it. Just do your own business."
"I really don't understand you!" After Isaac left, James looked at the medicine box again and smiled gently.
Leave a scar? Then so be it.
A few years later, in the afternoon of the summer, the little baby was so boring at home. He was sitting there in just his shorts. Baby shook him by holding his leg.
Baby touched the small marks on his leg, which was not so obvious as time went by, then asked in a childish voice, "Papa, what is it?"
He held the little baby on his lap. He pointed at the two small marks and smiled gently. "This is the mark of love."

In the high- level VIP ward, Elizabeth was still sleeping. Perhaps because she was exhausted, she was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. Her breathing was calm.
James sat in a wheelchair and looked at her on the bed. He carefully looked at her sleeping face in concentration.
The wounds on her face, after treatment, looked much better than before. Her mouth didn't look that swollen. But it was still thick and looked a little strange.
However, he just frowned slightly and did not feel it disgusting or ugly.
He could still clearly remember her speaking happily to him after chasing the vicious dog away. Her voice was muffled and her swollen lips trembled slightly. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile again.
He raised his hand and slowly approached her lips.
Now, she should feel better, right?
Just as his fingers were about to touch her lips, his fingers trembled and he quickly withdrew his fingers. His fingers curled up and clenched into a fist.
He was an idiot in love. Today, after hearing Isaac's words, he finally understood what he was thinking.
However, he did not feel very happy because of this. Instead, he felt annoyed and depressed.
He thought that he would never fall in love again in his life, but he didn't expect that love crept upon him.
He'd always thought he was a man who was firm in his feelings. Because he had loved someone for twelve years inadvertently. But even someone like him, in just a few months, had fallen in love with another one quietly and unknowingly.
Yes. It's love, not like.
