Chapter 358 Tending to Her Wounds
Vania felt like she could get used to being cared for like this. She nodded and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
For some reason, she was in low spirits today. Perhaps it was because Melanie had caused yet another scene, or maybe the attempt to kidnap Morales and Morgan had dredged up harrowing memories of her past.
Either way, she was feeling rather vulnerable right now, so when Hanson tended her wounds, it caused quite a stir in her heart, and her eyes reddened.
When Hanson noticed that her mood was dipping, his movements became a little more forceful without him realizing it, as he wanted to grab her and hold her in his arms.
“Ouch…” Vania winced.
Hanson accidentally pressed down too hard which caused her to yelp in pain. He hurriedly moved his hand away. “I pressed down too hard.”
Vania shook her head. “No, I was just too nervous.”
Hanson held her hand once more. This time, he moved ever so gingerly that his hands began to tremble. “If it feels painful, pinch my hand as hard as you can, okay?”
“That’ll just leave you in pain too.”
Hanson chuckled despite his worry. “I can take it. All I want is for you to not feel any pain.”
Vania seemed a little dazed as she stared at Hanson. He stared right back at her, and the two exchanged a look of deep affection.
April, who had been standing at the side all along, began to feel goosebumps after hearing their conversation and seeing the way they looked right now. Can’t they rein it in a little while they’re still in my office? He was still single, but he was determined to find a pretty woman to console him for having to put it with this couple today.
Seeing how they were still locking gazes with one another, April cleared his throat to snap them out of it.
Hanson did indeed snap out of it. While disinfecting the wounds on Vania’s hand, he kept blowing on it as well to make her feel better. He was extremely focused and he moved so carefully that sweat began to form along his brow. Anyone could tell how worried he was.
Vania steeled herself too. “It’s alright. You don’t need to be so careful. It really doesn’t hurt.”
Even so, Hanson continued to move very slowly. He spent half an hour just on disinfection alone.
Following that, he began to wrap the bandage around her hand, and by the time everything was done, it had been a full hour.
Now that Vania’s hand was completely bandaged, Hanson sighed in relief and wiped the sweat off his brow. He stuck his hand out and said, “Look, we even have matching bandages now.”
Vania chuckled. “Let’s go home now.”
“We’re leaving,” Hanson said to April before heading back to Haling Villa with the two boys.
Once they arrived home, the four boys immediately spotted Vania’s bandaged hand. Their expressions turned grim as they asked, “Mommy, what happened to your hand?”
Vania gave them a quick summary of the day’s events, and the four children gasped in shock. They glanced at Morales and Morgan and thought to themselves, Is there something we don’t know about this?
The four boys made a mental note about this. They were going to use their laptops to dive into the truth behind everything.
All of them turned their gazes back to Vania’s hand.
James was very concerned. “Mommy, let me take a look at your hand.”
“Is it serious? Does it hurt?” Jack’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Jacob and Jude were also waiting to hear Vania’s response.
Vania stuck her hand out and assured them, “Don’t worry, it’s been tended to now, and it’s not a serious injury.”
The four children studied Vania’s hand carefully and did not feel quite as convinced. James declared, “Mommy, you’re not allowed to do anything until your hand has healed completely.”
