Chapter 134 Applying Topical Medication On Her Again
When Shaun saw the large bruise on Arissa’s arm, he gasped in shock. “Who did this to you?”
Just as he was about to check her injury, Arissa’s face was contorted with pain.
Noticing her reaction, Benjamin, who was standing at the side, frowned and shouted at Shaun, “Be gentle!”
His action brought a small smile onto Shaun’s face.
“Since you don’t bring her to the hospital for an X-ray, I can only perform a physical assessment on her,” Shaun explained. “She has to endure the pain. If I don’t do this, it is impossible to know if she has a broken bone.”
Benjamin’s dashing face turned sullen and grim upon hearing that.
Cold sweat trickled down Arissa’s forehead while Shaun continued on with the physical assessment. It was so painful that the corner of her lips started to twitch.
“Does she have a fracture?” Benjamin asked coldly.
“Nope. She is fine,” Shaun answered with a grin on his face.
Upon hearing the good news, Benjamin let out a sigh of relief.
Arissa rubbed her injured arm gently, trying to relieve the pain.
“You need to apply some ointment on it. Make sure you use enough of it. Do it every few hours, and you’ll recover in a few days,” Shaun reminded.
“Thank you,” Arissa answered politely.
Shaun took the ointment and wanted to apply it for her. However, before he managed to do that, Benjamin grabbed the topical medication away from him.
Feeling amused by his action, Shaun backed away.
“Give me your arm!” Benjamin took a glance at Arissa.
Noticing Shaun’s teasing gaze, she felt embarrassed and wanted to reject Benjamin. “I can do it myself.”
Despite that, he grabbed her arm and started to apply some ointment on her.
“Ouch!” She gritted her teeth and screamed in pain. “It hurts so much! Please be gentle!”
Standing at the side, Shaun wanted to burst out laughing.
Arissa wanted to retrieve her arm, but she was stopped by Benjamin. The way he applied the ointment was so painful that she broke out in cold sweat.
Is he applying medication for me or trying to hurt me?
“Mr. Graham, I can do it myself. You’re hurting me!” Arissa yelled, suppressing the urge to berate him.
“Don’t move!” Benjamin raised his voice at her sternly.
It was so painful that she started to get misty-eyed. “Can’t you be more gentle?”
Upon hearing her pitiful tone, Benjamin was startled and cast her a glance.
“Does it hurt a lot?” He smiled faintly when he saw the tears brimming in her eyes.
“Of course!” she muttered.
Meanwhile, Shaun was regaled, expecting that Benjamin would be angry.
“Benjamin is doing this for your own good. It will help your bruise to disappear faster.” Shaun tried to comfort her.
Arissa was bemused.
“Bear with it a little! It’ll be over soon.” Benjamin tried to apply the ointment gently, causing her heart to skip a beat.
However, the sharp pain jolted her back to her senses. All she wanted to do was scream.
Even though Benjamin had reduced his force, it was still causing her pain.
“Hi, beautiful! Why haven’t I seen you around before? How did you get to know Benjamin?” Shaun turned to Arissa, feeling eager to know about her.
“I came back from overseas recently, and now I’m working at Mr. Graham’s company,” she replied.
Shaun nodded and looked at the duo, his gaze ambiguous. “So both of you are colleagues? Why are you here then?”
Arissa felt awkward. “Something happened to me, so Mr. Graham brought me here for my safety.”
“I see…” He smiled. “You’re spending the night here?”
She was rendered speechless by his question.
“You’re not needed anymore. Scram!” Benjamin stared coldly at Shaun.
Shaun stared back at him in disbelief. “Are you chasing me out after all the help I’d given you?”
“You did nothing to help me!” Benjamin retorted as he finished applying the ointment on Arissa’s arm.
Leaning against the couch, she heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed her injured arm.
It hurts so much!
The corner of Shaun’s lips twitched. However, before he managed to say anything, Benjamin cut him off. “Edwin, see him out!”
Shaun was struck dumb.
