38 Getting Stronger with Her

Magee woke up earlier and she prepared for his breakfast. Its sauteed red beans and boiled cassava.

"You really followed Albrecht's menu board." He commented.

"I have no choice, he tied all the stocks and exposed only the food due in a day's meal."

"By the way, thank you for peering and for taking good care of me last night."

" Its nothing. Here, have a sip of this soup, its not on his menu board so better go dip immediately your spoon, otherwise he might catch us stealing his assets in the kitchen. Luckily, I found these three pieces of quail eggs on his winnow. To make the taste more dramatic so I put a small amount of water, garlic, onion, a little garlic and lemon grass. Try it!"

"Haha, you're really humorous. Sure, let me taste it. Wow! it tastes better, you get some and let's eat together."

There was a balloon of silence and they just see each other like there was never any war happening.

" How's your wound?" She asked.

" I'm getting stronger with you as my nurse. But seriously its getting healed. He naughtily smiled at her.

" So what's gonna happen today, ha."

"I'll teach you some physical works, hmm, self-defense, do you like it?"

" Wow! is that final? She sounded excitingly.

" Yes, of course."

She quickly fixed the utensils used for meal and promptly took a bath. When she's done she stood up outside his place and looked at him locating for the kit. Then later.

"Oh! for a while, I'm dressing my wound."

"I'll do it. Come, we'll ckean it at the triage area."

" Triage? you're a whole lot knowledgeable even in our medical terms and in so many things. But wait, why should I go that far when I'm already here?" He pouted.

"Okay, you clean your wound." Then she proceeded to her place."

" Haha! I surrender, let's go to the long table; at the triage area." He seriously agreed.

" Whoah! Its almost healed. Good boy!" She glanced at him and smiled.

" Hmm...I suddenly looked like a boy now, haha! Ah! ah! why you pressed my wound?" He gently asked.

" Its because you're very noisy. Shh...keep quiet, don't move - just stay still." Then she ran to the kitchen and boil a water.

" What's that?"

" You sterilized the dagger?"

" Magee!"

" Hey, keep quiet, there's a bigger pus I need to remove and afterwards let's have it with hot-compressed. I don't know the logic but its how Ina Lolita was doing when my siblings have burns and wounds. Lolo Sibal taught him a lot. Hmm, you want me to nurse a nurse, so here I am, happy to have served you." She smiled.

" But its not the proper tool. It must be scalpel to cut the part you want to open, not that dagger, I feel like a chicken."

" I won't cut any part. I'll just press the swollen part in order for the pus to come out."
