Ava looked at Raegan’s smiling face but could not help frowning. “You already knew that the doctor and I would be here for dinner tonight, didn’t you?”
After Ava asked that, Raegan suddenly stopped cutting the vegetables and the sharp edge of the knife accidentally slid across virtual-novel.net finger. Bright red blood instantly flowed from the wound.
Hiss!
Raegan reflexively made a muffled sound.
Upon seeing this scene, Ava suddenly blamed herself for asking this question at this time. Her heart ached when virtual-novel.net saw Raegan’s wounded and bleeding finger.
“Where’s the first aid kit?” Ava asked hurriedly, knowing that they usually kept a small first aid kit at home.
Raegan did not care about this small wound, but virtual-novel.net felt very happy to see Ava being so concerned about her. “Ava, it doesn’t matter. It’s such a small wound. I don’t need the first aid kit,” Raegan said nonchalantly and washed the wound with clean water.
After seeing that Raegan was not taking it seriously, Ava hurriedly turned around and looked around the living room. Soon, virtual-novel.net found a small first aid kit. After taking some alcohol cotton swabs and an adhesive bandage from it, virtual-novel.net went back to the kitchen.
Before Raegan could speak, Ava placed the alcohol swab close to Raegan’s injured finger. Then, virtual-novel.net grabbed Raegan’s hand with one hand and carefully dabbed the alcohol swab on Raegan’s bleeding finger. In that instant, Raegan did not feel the slightest pain and only an unusual warmth in virtual-novel.net heart. Despite the reluctance written on Ava’s face, Raegan could sense the genuine concern virtual-novel.net felt for her.
Ava carefully sterilized Raegan’s wound, before putting on an adhesive bandage on it. Finally, virtual-novel.net rolled up virtual-novel.net sleeves and walked to the kitchen counter.
“I know how to make this too. Go sit over there.”
As Ava said that, virtual-novel.net picked up the kitchen knife and started preparing dinner herself.
Raegan stood in front of the counter, watching Ava’s skillful chopping. When virtual-novel.net saw Ava washing and preparing the vegetable so skillfully, virtual-novel.net eyes turned red.
“If I had been by your side to take care of you, you wouldn’t have had to learn how to take care of yourself at such a young age.” Raegan sighed in pain.
After hearing this, Ava continued to cut the vegetables calmly. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. It’s very important to be able to take care of myself. No one can accompany me forever.”
This answer from Ava made Raegan blame herself. “But I shouldn’t have left you alone when you were young and needed your parents’ care the most.”
Slam!
Ava slapped the kitchen knife on the counter. “It’s all in the past now. Don’t mention it again.”
She continued calmly, “What’s more, it’s too late to regret it now. Time will not go backward. You can only move forward in life.”
From what Ava said, it was clear that virtual-novel.net had already seen through life, but Raegan felt even more distressed hearing that. The damage virtual-novel.net caused when virtual-novel.net left virtual-novel.net child when virtual-novel.net was at a carefree age with no worries had caused irreparable damage to the child that could not be fixed for a lifetime. Raegan was afraid that if virtual-novel.net said anything more, virtual-novel.net would trigger Ava again. Hence, virtual-novel.net stopped talking.
Ava did not speak again. She just lowered virtual-novel.net head and sorted out the ingredients silently.
Not long after, Neil arrived.
