After some time, she heard Dr. Russells voice. Were done!
The sharp tingling on the back of her hand subsided, and Grace breathed a long sigh of relief before opening her eyes.
Brians forearm immediately caught her eye.
Grace finally realized she had been grasping his forearm and immediately let go. Im sorry!
Its fine. I asked you to grab it in the first place, said Brian as
he withdrew his hand.
Dr. Russell said to Grace, Alright, come again this time next
week. Be careful and dont touch water for three hours after
you get back. Dont lift anything heavy with your hands either.
Okay, said Grace.
When they left Dr. Russells small clinic, Brian said, Ill drive you home.
I can take the bus myself, she said, turning to leave,
He stopped her and said, Sending you home doesnt mean you have to promise me anything. You dont need to avoid me like this.
I just dont want to give you any more trouble. She pushed his hand away, making him groan with a frown.
She was a little surprised. She had not pushed his arm away with much force! Just then, Grace suddenly stared at Brians sleeve.
Hes wearing a white shirt today, but now theres a faint tint of red on his forearm near his wrist, Is that
Grace suddenly thought of something and pulled Brians sleeve up, exposing the injury on his forearm.
There were obvious scratch marks on his forearm. He was bleeding faintly.
Is this because I grabbed on to you just now? Grace remembered how hard she had grabbed him when the pain was intense.
Im Im sorry, she apologized again.

Its nothing you should apologize for. I did it on my own accord. You dont have to feel bad about it, he said, calmly lowering his sleeve. Besides, its only a scratch. Its no big deal
However, the more he downplayed it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Im going to ask Dr Russell if he has any adhesive
back to the small clinic behind her.
Moments later, Grace came running out with an adhesive bandage in her hand.
Standing in front of Brian, she said, Put your arm out first.
He smiled faintly and held out his right arm as she had asked.
It was only a minor injury, but seeing her so serious put him in a good mood.
It was as if she cared about him!
Grace lowered her head and carefully rolled up Brians sleeve. Then, she put the adhesive bandage on his arm. Dont do that again. I cant control my strength when Im in pain.
He said, It was of my free will! It was only through that I could experience how much pain you were suffering. However, I only experienced a small part of it. The pain you suffered during
the treatment must have been far greater than this.
He could not bear that pain for her, so suffering the pain with
her was probably a good idea.
