Following the sound, William Cole rushed to the kitchen to find Ruth Dawn crouched on the floor with a pained expression.
There was the overturned oil pan on the floor.
Ruth was wearing short shorts, her fair and beautiful legs exposed, and there was a scald on her calf.
William rushed over, turned off the gas, and picked Ruth up from the floor.
"What are you doing?" Ruth resisted a little.
Ignoring her, William held Ruth around the waist with one hand and her legs with the other and carried her out of the kitchen to set her on the sofa.
He grabbed some ice from the fridge and took out some safflower oil and iodine.
William crouched down at Ruth's feet, grasping her beautiful leg, the skin was cool and delicate, frail and boneless like silk.
An unusual feeling came over him.
But he didn't think too much of it and applied the iodine and safflower oil.
"Ah—it hurts."
Sweat beads appeared on Ruth's beautiful face as she instinctively grabbed onto William's shoulder.
