Athena's hands froze in mid-air.
Byron's subconscious reaction was too intense.
Byron came back to his senses after stepping back and realized that his reaction was too intense and suspicious.
"Honey, it's really okay. I'll tell you if anything is wrong," Byron walked back to her while saying cautiously.
Athena looked at him. "I want to see the wound."
Why didn't she suspect it?
Byron, who would pretend to be suffering before her for a long time if he stubbed his toes while walking, should have immediately run up to her with the razor in hand to complain about the razor and make her feel distressed if his wrist was cut.
But he never showed his wound to her once since he was injured this time, not even if she took the initiative to ask about it.
If it were just some trivial, Byron would not hide it from her.
Byron didn't say anything.
The two faced off silently.
After a moment, Byron lowered his eyes. "I'm afraid you'll get worried."
"I will definitely be worried if you don't show it to me!" Athena said in a deep voice, "Byron, let me say it for the last time. I want to see the wound!"
Byron sighed helplessly.
He rolled up his sleeve, putting the wrist with the waterproof band-aid before Athena.
Athena ripped off the band-aid without any hesitation.
Looking at the slightly red wound that was almost healed, she still gasped in surprise.
Byron was like a child who had done something wrong.
He stood there, desperately wanting to take his hand back in case Athena would see such a twisted and ugly scar, but he dared not to move because he was afraid that he would upset Athena again.
"Are you still telling me that this was an accidental cut with a razor? Was such a deep wound really cut by accident, or was it you..." Athena was frightened by her own thoughts as she choked on her own words. She looked at Byron with horror.
Tears rolled out of her eyes in an instant.
Byron had never seen Athena cry after he was found, except for the reunion.
Byron was completely panicked at the time.
"Honey, don't overthink it. I didn't do this to myself," Byron hurriedly said, "Do you still remember the day I lost my crutches? After finishing the matters, I was going to get back home and have dinner with you, but halfway, the child called me. He ran away from home and slept in the park all night. I was a little worried, so I went over to check on him."
