He looked me up and down again to confirm that I really wasn’t injured.

Brian also helped me explain.
“Caleb, you shouldn’t be so impulsive.
Debra isn’t injured, but Gifford is. He’s been badly poisoned and needs to be treated as soon as possible.”

Caleb breathed a sigh of relief, finally convinced that I was okay. But when his gaze Landed on Gifford’s hand, he raised his voice again.
“Why are you holding Debra’s hand?” Caleb’s eyes were so sharp, they pierced right through us
I felt so helpless. How could he be so childish?
Rubbing my temples, I had no choice but to tell him the whole story
“The poison is from the Yellow Ridge Pack, and it’s very potent. It counters the effects of anesthesia, so Gifford has to endure the operation without it. He asked to hold my hand to distract him from the pain.”
“Oh, is that so?” Caleb asked icily.
“If that’s the case, hold my hand instead.” ©
He made Gifford sit back down and said calmly, “Gifford, let go of
Debra’s hand. If you feel uncomfortable, let me know. You can hold my hand whenever you want.”

Gifford rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Unwilling to give up, Caleb forcibly pulled my hand from Gifford’s.
Then he held Gifford’s hand tightly.
“What the-?”
Gifford’s confusion quickly turned to anger, but there was nothing he could say.
Pretending not to notice the man’s obvious distress, Caleb smiled at me.
In the end, there was nothing Gifford could do but turn his head away from us.
“Gifford, I’m starting the operation,” Brian announced calmly.
I couldn’t help but admire Brian’s professionalism. He seemed completely unfazed by such a ridiculous scene and concentrated on dealing with Gifford’s wound.
Gradually, a hush fell over the room. Aside from the sounds of Brian’s instruments, the room was completely quiet.
Gifford clenched his teeth and refused to cry out in pain.
Still, the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed how he truly felt.
