He frowned, seemingly holding back his anger. After a very long time, he looked up at me and said, "You do i t!"
The nurse froze and stopped what she was doing.
She felt a little aggrieved, looking like she was about t o tear up. Theo berated her coldly, "If you can't do your job well, then quit."
After she was yelled at, the nurse trembled and dropped the alcohol-dipped cotton swab on Theo's wound.
Theo frowned, his tone sounding much grimmer. "Let her do it."
I sighed and took the antibiotic ointment from the nurse and tried my best to keep my emotions in control. I said in a warm tone, "Thank you. You can continue with your work. I'll handle it."
The nurse was relieved and quickly nodded.
After watching the nurse dash off, I looked up at him and snapped. "It’ll be more painful if I do it. You'd better shut it if it hurts."
He pursed his lips, his dark pupils overflowing with light. "Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?"
I did not say a word and treated his wounds with a cotton swab. Fortunately, they were merely scrapes, but a layer of his skin had been scraped off, which made it seem a little gory. He did not injure his muscles or bones, so applying antibiotic ointment for a few days would do the trick.
After cleaning his wounds, I got up to clean up the mess and looked indifferently at him. "Why did you argue in the car?"
If they had not argued in the car, the car accident would not have happened. I knew his character well enough.
When I saw him pursing his lips with no intention of saying anything, I could not help but frown. Before I could say anything, someone cut me off. "It's because o f you. It's all because of you. You're a jinx."
Cindy's wounds had been treated, and when she came out of the ward, she looked at me with a face full of resentment as if her hatred could only be relieved after she swallowed me alive.
When Theo saw that she was not badly hurt, he said coldly and indifferently to her, "Go home."
"Hah!" Cindy sneered. "Why should I go back when I haven't even told her your secret?"
