Chapitre 128: 128. Please stay...

"It may hurt a little." Hayford gave a warning and gave her one last look before slowly bringing his hand close to the wound, ready to pull the shard.

"Wait! You're not going to put on gloves?" She was a nurse and they never worked on any patient with their bare hands.

"What?" He looked back at her face.

"I mean, for any... I mean, you will stain your hands with my blood..."

"I dont mind, Elaine." Hayford just smirked at her and focused on the wound again. He got hold of the shard.

Her stomach fluttered even amid the pain. This always happened when he mentioned her name.

"It will hurt a little." He said and slowly pulled the shard out. Elaine who tried as much as she could to not wince, gave out a low hiss which did not go unnoticed by Hayford.

"Sorry." He said and pressed his thumb of the now open wound which was bleeding to stop the bleeding. Thankfully, the bleeding was not much.
