Kapitel 32: rejected Samuel

Adriana left Valerie's room, headed to the living room, and saw Samuel sitting quietly, while Hannah on another couch held the first aid kit, realizing she hadn't treated Samuel's injuries.

"Hannah, why didn't you treat him immediately?" she asked.

"Um..." Hannah swallowed, glancing at Samuel, who turned to Adriana.

"I'm fine, it's just a bruise," Samuel said.

"Oh, maybe you prefer Valerie to treat you," Adriana replied with a little smile.

Samuel smiled shyly. Hannah frowned, seemingly displeased with Samuel's response.

"Maybe Valerie is taking a shower; you should go home if you can't wait. Dating a mum requires extra patience," Adriana suggested, subtly urging Samuel to stop waiting for Valerie.

Samuel nodded. "It's fine... I'll wait."

"Okay... I have to go."

Adriana left the living room while Samuel immediately looked at Hannah.

"You should help Valerie take care of Daniel. That's your job!" he said curtly.
