Chapitre 10: Chapter 10: As If Breaking Into a Corner of the Mortal World_1
The next day, Suzanne Trent got up early.
Last night, before going to sleep, she actually felt a bit guilty. The man hadn't died from falling off the cliff, but what if she had hurt him even more by hitting him?
She quietly pushed open the door of the master bedroom. The room was extremely quiet, and the man, probably named Daniel Turner, was either still asleep or unconscious. She tiptoed over to him and touched his forehead; it was still a bit hot, probably due to his wounds being irritated by his movements over the past two days. But his breathing was even and steady, without any more blood seeping from his bandages.
It shouldn't be too serious.
Suzanne went downstairs to a 24-hour pharmacy and bought some wound medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. She gently lifted the bandages on his body, carefully cleaned the wounds, and applied the medicine.
After all this, the alarm clock in Lily's room went off, and she quickly slipped out of the master bedroom as if nothing had happened.
The man on the bed behind her slowly opened his eyes as the bedroom door opened and closed.
Outside the bedroom, Suzanne could be heard urging Lily to get up and brush her teeth. Lily grumbled while brushing her teeth, "Mommy, my kindergarten teacher said we should have love in our hearts, so you absolutely can't secretly throw Uncle out while I'm at kindergarten!"
Suzanne's displeased voice came through, "Hurry up and brush your teeth, come eat breakfast, or I'll throw you out first if you keep talking!"
It was a simple morning, both lovely and lively.
Mason King, who had grown accustomed to cold mornings abroad over the years, suddenly felt as if he had entered a corner of the mortal world, infused with an inexplicable sense of tranquility.
After Lily left for kindergarten on the school bus, Suzanne hurried to sort out her things.
There were too many things to move from the master bedroom to the children's room, and she hadn't been able to finish last night.
She needed a few of her frequently worn clothes, which were still in the master bedroom wardrobe. Glancing at the time, it was already 8:30. She reheated the porridge she had bought that morning and went to the master bedroom.
She thought he was still asleep, but didn't expect him to be already sitting up.
"Ahem," Suzanne cleared her throat, "I'm coming in to get a few clothes I often wear. I didn't have time to make breakfast this morning, so I bought some porridge downstairs. I just reheated it, do you want to eat?"
Mason looked at the woman who had stuck her head in the bedroom door and said, "Thank you."
Suzanne quickly brought the porridge over and placed it beside the bed, "Well, you eat by yourself. For now, I really don't dare to let you eat other things with oil and salt, after all, your wound is quite severe. I can only let you eat this for the next few days."
"It's already much better," Mason looked at her again, "You saved my life, took care of me these days, and even got up early to help me change the medicine. I'm very grateful."
The man's eyes were deep and captivating.
Suzanne paused, her gaze quickly moving away from him and towards the wardrobe, blinking twice, "It's enough that you remember the hundred-fold compensation you promised. No need to thank me."
She quickly grabbed her clothes and left.
"Oh, I almost forgot." The door suddenly opened again, and Suzanne stuck her head back in, "There's an old phone in the white drawer next to the bed. I threw it in there when I got a new one last year. The charger is also inside. I'm not sure if the phone still works, but you can try. If it works, I'll give you a spare SIM card so you can call me if you need anything while I'm not home. If I'm especially busy, I can ask the clinic's grandpa to come and take care of you."
Mason stood up slowly, despite every movement causing him severe pain. He walked over to the drawer, took out the phone.
Suzanne watched his back and murmured to herself, "If he had asked for her help to get the phone, she wouldn't have minded helping, but did he not feel the pain of his wounds?"
It seemed that he did not like to ask for help from others. Even when he said he wanted to stay here, he mentioned the method of compensation, including eating as well. He was just a tenant or a transaction partner while recovering, without any hint of pleading.
Although he looked like a very handsome, gentlemanly, and polite man, his pride was evident in every little detail, just like Lily's stubbornness.
