Crystal had no choice but to walk out while sniffing. She sat on the bench and waited.
Roy seemed to always be like this. He had been protecting her since she was a child.
As long as she was with him, no matter what danger she encountered, she would not get hurt.
She looked at the hospital’s snow-white walls, unsure how much time had passed.
Eventually, Roy emerged and spoke to the doctor treating his burns: “The burns are extensive and some are severe, but luckily
you sought medical attention promptly.
Remember to apply the ointment twice a day and take the antibiotics. Even though it’s already autumn, the temperature can still
be high during this period, so it’s important to prevent infection and avoid getting the wounds wet.”
Crystal nodded and finally asked, “Doctor, will there be a scar?”
The doctor paused and smiled while saying, “As a man, what does it matter if there are scars on his body? With such extensive
burns, scarring is inevitable. However, if he really minds, he can consider a skin graft surgery.”
“There’s no need for it, doctor,” Roy said in a gentle voice. “Thank you.”
The doctor nodded and said, “Remember not to get the wound wet.” Then, he left.
Crystal’s eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was also red. She squatted beside
Roy’s wheelchair and said, “Roy, I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, there’s nothing to apologize for,” Roy sighed and stroked her furry head. “Besides, if all that hot soup had
splashed on you instead, you would have been disfigured. A young girl like you who loves to be beautiful would have cried for a
long time.”
“But...”
“That’s enough.” Roy took Crystal’s hand and said, “I really don’t think it’s a big deal.
Even if there’s a scar, no one will able to see it under my clothes.”
Crystal curled her lips and said in a tearful voice, “But it will hurt a lot.”
Roy was stunned and then said softly, “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt very much.” He slowly wiped away Crystal’s tears and said, “I
can’t bear to see you cry. Don’t make me feel bad, okay?”
It seemed that Roy rarely spoke to people in such a gentle way. Crystal wiped her tears and said, “I won’t cry anymore.”
“If you’re really sad...” Roy smiled and said, “Shall we go to another store to have breakfast? I’m really hungry.”
Crystal quickly nodded. After taking the medicine, she pushed Roy to a high-end restaurant nearby. Perhaps the price was too
scary, so there were not many customers. However, Crystal was afraid that something might happen again, so she did not dare
to go to the restaurant on the side of the road again.
The waiter came over to order, and Crystal casually ordered a portion of fried dumplings-the price of fried dumplings here was
ten times that of the previous shop, and the food presentation seemed to be no difference.
After breakfast, Crystal counted on her fingers and estimated that she needed at least four digits to pay off her debts. She felt a
little sad and thought to herself that it seemed she wouldn’t be able to repay Antony’s money this month. However, Antony was
very wealthy, so she thought she could pay him back next month.
As she was lost in thought, the waitress came over with a smile and brought a serving of double scoop ice cream, saying, “This
is a small gift.”
Crystal thanked her and said, “I’ll pay the bill.”
The waiter glanced at Roy and said, “This gentleman has already paid the bill. This ice cream is a small gift for paying the bill.”
Crystal looked at Roy in shock. “Why are you doing this? We agreed that I would treat you to breakfast.”
Roy slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said gently, “You paid me for the medicine, so you don’t have to pay
for breakfast.” Crystal was speechless
