Chapter: 1529
The nurse brought ointment for her bruises and explained to Tyrone and Sabrina how to adopt it.
As soon as the nurse left, Tyrone picked up the ointment on the table. He looked at it and said to Sabrina, “I'll run some warm water for you. Can you apply the ointment by yourself?"
Sabrina lowered her head and remained silent for several seconds.
Finally, she murmured in a soft voice, “I can't apply it on my back by myself."
"I'll help you."
When Tyrone realized that she was not shy at the prospect of being naked in his presence, he said, "Go and lie down on the bed."
"Okay."
Tyrone went to the bathroom and fetched a basin of warm water for her. Then, he grabbed a towel and carried everything back to the ward.
Sabrina sat on the edge of the bed and watched Tyrone doing all these.
She closed her eyes as the frightening experience from last night flashed across her mind.
It had only been one night.
To others, those hours were merely long enough to take a nap.
But to her, it was a devastating blow that turned her world upside down.
With her eyes closed, the moment Tyrone showed up and rescued her felt like a dream and she couldn't shake the notion that when she woke up from this dream, she would be back in that horrible sheepfold, tied up like an animal and being beaten mercilessly.
Phantom pain danced across her skin and her heart seized.
Sabrina's eyes snapped open, and her body trembled with fear.
Immediately, she sought Tyrone out and only breathed easily when she saw him. He was here. The rescue was not a figment of her imagination.
But her fear hadn't completely dissipated. She was lucky that Tyrone found her in time. But when she was alone again, would someone kidnap her?
Sabrina decided that she couldn't let Tyrone out of her sight. It was only when he was near that she could feel safe.
Silence reigned in the ward for a while longer as Tyrone got everything he needed to help Sabrina. When he was ready, Sabrina took off her hospital gown and lay on the bed.
