"Are you all right? "
Alex whispered in her ear. She nodded. But her mother's handprint was on her cheek.
Avery was trying to calm herself down with a long sigh. Seeing her in such a state, Alex quickly picked her up and laid her on the bed. He gave her water to drink.
He put the glass on the table after she drank the water. Sara didn't expect Alex to have that kind of behaviour after that slap. She hadn't thought about anything before slapping him very hard, but she still thought that At least he would yell at her after slapping him but didn't happen anything like that.
The skin on Avery's cheeks was a bit peeling due to Sara's strong slap. Alex took the ointment from a nearby drawer.
