"What do you have with you there?" Barry snapped back to his senses when he saw Selah come inside. She was cradling a package between her hands.
"Gauze bandage, a wound tape, and a hemostatic agent,"
she answered and sat by the foot of the bed. Barry hesitated briefly. He then reluctantly extended his hand so she could treat it.
Selah carefully unraveled the gauze that covered his wound. She frowned when she saw fragments of glass inside it.
"It hurts me when people like you are reckless," she expressed angrily and carefully took out the pieces of glass using a pair of tweezers. She cleaned the wound with sterilized water. "You're so lucky. You have such a healthy body."
Barry wanted to argue, but thoughts of Ray came to him. Ray had weak eyes. He couldn't help but notice the tinge of resentment in Selah's tone as she spoke. Barry sensed that it must be because she was thinking about her son. She was a good mother.
Barry felt angry at himself as he reflected. It was crazy what he did, asking Selah to be his woman.
But crazy or not, he couldn't let her go now. He was determined to make Mary feel pained about everything. Maybe she would come
t she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't get some sleep until the latter half of the night.
The next morning, Barry got up early and prepared to go to work.
He was somewhat surprised to find Selah sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed.
He couldn't believe that they had slept together peacefully the night before. Wow. It was incredible when he realized it.
Barry slowed down the putting on of his clothes and wondered if he had been too harsh on the woman. He quickly pushed the thought away. It was all her fault! She always managed to make him angry. Or maybe it was he who constantly took out his anger on her. Barry found that he often lost his temper easily when he was with her.
"It's only for a while, Selah. After this is over, I'll let you go. I'm sorry," he said to her sleeping figure quietly.
After breakfast, he was in a good mood.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu." At the gate, Jaime greeted him.
"So early?" Barry smiled. "You are here to pick Selah up. You care about her very much, don't you?"
"Well, it's my duty." With an embarrassed smile, Jaime asked, "By the way, Mr. Gu, do you wish to make your relationship with Selah public?"
