Chapter 690 Jimmy Needs Resting
In the hospital room, Jimmy lay quietly on the bed, his pale face almost blending in with the sheets.
When Martha pushed open the door and saw him, her heart ached. She stumbled over to sit by hisbedside and gazed straight at him.
Thank goodness Jimmy was okay.
Melissa and Eden stood at the doorway, watching Stefan's and Martha's concerned eyes fall upontheir son. Their eyes grew moist as they exchanged a glance before silently leaving the room.
Outside in the hallway, Melissa let out a soft sigh. "Thank goodness Jimmy is okay. OtherwiseMartha would blame herself very much."
As Martha's best friend, she knew how much her son meant to her. He had always been herspiritual pillar since they ever lived abroad.
That was why Melissa knew that if anything ever happened to Jimmy, Martha would feel like losingpart of herself.
Eden reached out to pat Melissa's shoulder gently. "It'll all be alright soon enough," he saidreassuringly.
"Hmm," Melissa murmured softly but inside she still felt shaken up from everything that hadhappened so far today.
Just then an image flashed through her mind, causing her brows to furrow slightly, but itdisappeared too quickly for her to make sense of what she'd seen...
In Jimmy's hospital room, Martha had calmed down somewhat. Stefan turned around and headedtowards the door, intending to call for some disinfectant tools from one of nurses outside when hesaw Melissa standing there holding a medical tray looking dazedly at him.
Their eyes met briefly before she handed over what he needed, saying, "Here you go. Everythingyou need is here."
Melissa had noticed earlier how badly bruised up Martha's palm was from saving Jimmy, but hadn'tbeen able do anything about it earlier. Now she managed to get hold of these disinfectant toolswhich included bandages too.
But then something caught Melissa's eye: Stefan's hand looked just as bad!
"Never mind," said Melissa, withdrawing both hands holding the medical tray, "I'll take care of thismyself."
With that said, she walked into Jimmy's room, leaving Stefan standing there...
She placed the medical tray in her hand on the bedside table and sat next to Martha, looking at thewoman beside her with concern.
"Martha."
"What's wrong?"
Martha turned her head absentmindedly and glanced at her friend before looking back at Jimmylying on the bed.
Melissa sighed silently, reached out and gently grabbed Martha's wrist. "Your hand is injured. Letme take care of it for you."
Martha suddenly felt a sharp pain in her palm when she heard this.
She thought of Stefan and turned towards him who was standing not far away.
Stefan met her anxious gaze, gave her a reassuring look, and said softly, "I'm fine. Get your woundsdressed first. I can handle mine later."
"Okay." Martha whispered softly as she reached out with her right hand towards Melissa.
The bloodstains on her hand had coagulated. However, they still looked particularly shocking now.
Melissa's pupils shrank as she looked at Martha with pity. "It hurts badly, doesn't it?"
"I'm okay," replied Martha with a pale smile while showing signs of fatigue in between eyebrows.
Melissa sighed helplessly and picked up swab dipped in alcohol to disinfect Martha's wound.
As soon as the swab touched the wound, Martha took a cold breath through gritted teeth whileshrinking back from pain.
At that moment, Helen who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, "Melissa, let me do this?"
All four people present focused their attention on Helen making even herself shrink involuntarily.
Then Helen hesitantly continued, "When I was homeless, I often got hurt, so I learned how to treatmy wounds myself, which is why I think I am more skilled than Melissa."
Before Helen could finish speaking, Melissa interrupted her firmly, "No need."
"But..."
Melissa cut her off again. "Jimmy needs rest."
Helen fell silent upon hearing that statement, while Melissa bent down, carefully wiping off all tracesof blood before applying medication and putting a bandage around Martha's wound.
"Try not to use your hands these days. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll help you do it."
Martha lowered her head and glanced at the bandage in her hand, nodding slightly.
"Okay, I understand."novelbin
Melissa put down the scissors in her hand and turned to Eden. "I'll leave Stefan's injury to you."
"Okay."
Eden nodded lightly and walked forward to pick up the medical tray, placing it on the sofa.
Stefan obediently followed his pace and sat at the other end of the sofa.
Eden picked up the tools on the tray and began to bend down to help his buddy clean the wound.
After watching for a while, Helen's resentment flashed in her eyes as she stood up and got a glassof water from the nearby water dispenser.
She took the water and a cotton swab to the bedside. "Martha, Let me moisten Jimmy's lips."
Martha glanced up at her.
