Mary quickly shifted her focus from their earlier discussion to Shi Tian's injuries.
"Sit still, Nathan. Let me take a look at your injuries," she said, her demeanor shifting from detached to highly focused.
"It's no worries, Mary." Shi Tian raised his hand and said awkwardly.
"It's just the wounds being agitated and hence the bleeding. I'll just rebandage them myself and I'll be fine," he added, not willing to bother her with his injuries.
If he wanted to receive such concern and care from the start, then he wouldn't have bothered concealing it. He was not a child anymore, and Shi Tian didn't wish to create a reliance on someone.
Sooner or later, there'll be times that he will be alone, with no one to assist him in recovery.
Hence, getting used to it now was an ideal outcome in his mind.
Alas, Shi Tian had severely underestimated Mary.
