My hand was still held in the man’s palm.
She felt a bit uncomfortable, but when she tried to move a little, the other person held on even tighter.
“I’m fine, just two days and I’ll be okay.”
Jeremiah glanced sideways at the girl, who was now hanging her head like a guilty child.
He sighed silently, gently squeezed Paulette’s fingers, and said softly, “Listen, even if it’s nothing, you still need to put on some medicine. What if you get rabies?”
Rabies… So you’re saying Patricia was a dog?
Paulette blinked, and then looked up.
But the man next to me was dead serious, didn’t feel like he was cursing at all.
The neighborhood isn’t far from the bustling area of Litchton. The driver parked the car in front of a pharmacy, and Jeremiah finally let go of her hand.
“You wait for me in the car, I’ll be right back.”
Paulette nodded and watched him get out of the car.
She wiped her sweaty palms twice and took a deep breath.
I never used to feel this way before…why do I feel a bit nervous talking to

Jeremiah this time?
Paulette finally put it down to long time no see, just need to get more familiar again.
In less than ten minutes, Jeremiah came back with the medicine.

His bony fingers opened the packaging, got the cotton swab ready for Paulette to hold, and then wiped the iodine and applied the medicine for
her.
From Paulette’s perspective, she could only see his high nose bridge, afraid of hurting her appearance, as if she was also a cherished treasure.
“Okay…”
Jeremiah looked up, and our eyes met unexpectedly.
Paulette saw her reflection in those pitch–black pupils, and she suddenly froze, forgetting to react.
After a while, a soft sigh was heard.
The man raised his hand to cover her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Paula, don’t look at me like that.”
“Oh.”
That was so rude.
Paulette thought Jeremiah was offended, so she quickly turned her head to the side and awkwardly said, “Thanks, Jeremiah.”
Jeremiah looked at her obvious evasive look, feeling both cute and a little sad… It seems Annabelle was right, The road ahead is long and far to go, Paulette, it will probably take some time to truly accept this relationship.

Jeremiah came back in a hurry, the old house was not cleaned up, so he had to stay in a hotel temporarily.
But since Paulette had already decided to leave now, there was no need to tidy up.
Jeremiah took Paulette back to the Chapman’s mansion, got out of the car with her, took off his scarf and tied it around her neck, and said gently, “Go back and rest well, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t touch water with your left hand as much as possible, it will heal
faster.”
“Okay.”
…
Jeremiah stared at her cute face for two seconds, then stuck out his tongue and smiled.
Paulette didn’t understand the situation, “Jeremiah, why are you laughing?”
“I just… just thought of all the crazy things Paulette did when she was young, those people, probably just got fooled by her innocent face, thinking she was a goody–two–shoes.”
In reality, he was actually a little fox who always repaid a grudge.
Jeremiah rubbed her hair and said, “It’s nothing, just go inside.”
In December, the night wind carried the cold air. Paulette went upstairs and went straight to the window, pulled back the curtains and took a look, unsurprisingly seeing Jeremiah still outside in the yard.

She quickly pulled back and patted her heart that was pounding loudly.
After calming down for a while, I pretended nothing happened and sat back on the sofa. I sent a message to Jeremiah: I’m going to bed now, you should also rest early when you go back.
Jeremiah: Okay.
After a while, he sent another message, saying that Fromond took Paulette to meet someone.
Paulette thought he was a friend, but after a reply, he just kept collecting things.
She didn’t have much luggage, so the main concern was how to say goodbye to the Chapman family.
Just said in a hurry to go back and handle the entry procedures.
As for getting married, Paulette was planning to take it slow.
The next morning, Maxine came upstairs to call her for breakfast. When she saw the suitcase by the door, she knew what was going on. She sighed and said, “Paula, you said you and Nelson were fine. How did things suddenly turn out like this?”
Paulette put her arm around her shoulder and comforted, “Maxine….. I really didn’t argue with Dad.”
It’s just that we couldn’t get along peacefully anymore.
“I was in a hurry to get back to work. This was my first job entering society, so I had to prepare well.”
