Bab 458: 458. Help him bandage the wound_1

Adam Jones had intended to say it didn't hurt, but when confronted with his wife's worried eyes, he immediately nodded, frowning as he said, "Yeah, it hurts a lot."

"Bear with it."

Adam Jones: "..."

He had thought his wife would at least comfort him gently, or say "then I'll be gentle," or perhaps "let wife blow on it," but instead, she coldly smacked him down with those two words.

Because of the anesthetic, Elly's stitching didn't cause Adam much feeling, and he watched the woman half-kneeling before him just like that time in the hotel.

But, despite the similar situation, his mood was surprisingly different.
