Caleb expression darkened. “But you’re my mate. You have the obligation to take care of me.”
“So what if we’re mates? You’re with Janiya now, aren’t you?”
“We’re not—”
“ALL right, all right.” Brian interrupted our squabble. “It’s just a minor injury. It’s not a big deal. Debra, since you’re his mate, just help him. Otherwise, the wounds might get infected. He might lose his hand if we delay treatment.”
I looked at him in disbelief. Was this some sort of ploy to get me to spend more time with Caleb? On second thought, however, his wounds were bleeding. ©
In order not to aggravate his injuries, I had no choice but to give in.
“Fine, I’UL help you.”
Brian led us to a room. He pulled a table of various medical tools and asked me to help him by handing over whatever tool he needed. @
He had to remove all the pieces of broken vase in Caleb’s wounds with tweezers. Afterward, he would disinfect the wounds.
Before starting with the procedure, he warned Caleb, “It may hurt a little. You should find something to distract yourself from the pain.”
“Okay.” After that, Caleb looked straight at me.
His eyes seemed to contain a lot of unspeakable emotions. I felt uncomfortable under his intent gaze and wanted to get up to leave, but
Caleb grabbed my wrist with his other hand.
Brian scolded him reproachfully. “Don’t move. I’m trying to clean the wounds.”
“Only Debra can distract me from the pain, but she wants to leave.”
Caleb immediately tattled on me.
Brian glanced at me and frowned. “Debra, please cooperate with me here.
I’m very busy. I have a lot of patients. I can only help them once I’ve treated Caleb.”
Then he warned Caleb, “Try not to move this time.”
I had no choice but to sit back down and look into Caleb’s eyes.
This time, we looked at each other for a long time-so long that I almost got Lost in his eyes. His eyes were like two clear green pools.
I could see a reflection of my face in them.
As time went by, the way Caleb looked at me became more and more passionate, as if he wanted to read my mind.
Suddenly, Caleb turned to the doctor and asked, “Doctor, last time when you examined Debra, you said that she might’ve had a major operation five years ago. What kind of operation was it?” ©
