All too late for his love

"Bring the goods over in half an hour!"

The goods?

Willow stilled, but almost immediately, she understood what Zayn meant. He wanted her to deliver the item to him and Skyler as soon as possible.

Willow decided to put Zayn out of her mind when Kenan returned with the ointment. She turned to face him. "Thank you. It's getting late. You should go back first. I'll apply this myself."

"But it's hard for you to reach your own back. Let me do it for you!" Kenan's eyes were filled with heartbreak. Worried that Willow would get the wrong idea, he quickly added, "There are no ulterior motives here, Willow. I just want your injuries to be treated properly! I can cover my eyes if you're still worried."

Willow was amused by Kenan's nervousness. "I'm not worried at all. And I'm not lying either when I say that I'm fine. I can do this myself. I've been dancing since I was a young girl. Even though my left arm is out of action, my right arm is flexible enough. So, this won't be a problem."

Kenan still wasn't reassured. He'd prefer Willow to go to the hospital, but he also didn't want her to spend the remaining days of her life there. That was why he didn't force her to go.

"I've already caused you enough trouble today. You should go back and rest."

"I'm going to go mad if you keep this up!" Kenan feigned a look of anger. "This was no trouble at all! I'm willing to help you out, Willow. So, don't think that you're imposing on me!"

He glanced at the damaged door before continuing, "The door's damaged. It's not safe. Why don't you stay with me? It'll be easier for me to care for you too. Don't get the wrong idea; I'm saying this because it'll also be safer for you."

"I know." Willow smiled gratefully. "But you really don't need to do this. I'll call management later. They'll deal with the door. Now that the truth has been revealed, I don't think Matthew will lay a hand on me again either."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Kenan didn't continue to press the matter further after witnessing Willow's stubbornness. After he instructed her on how to care for her wounds, he reluctantly left.

After Kenan left, Willow hastily changed out of her wet clothes. Her back already burned in agony, but it hurt even more when her injuries came in contact with her clothes.

Willow dug up an old shirt and cut the back off. She then layered a loose and baggy jacket over her outfit. That way, her back wouldn't sting as much.

The ointment that Wynn gave her was extraordinarily effective. The backs of her hands had gotten a lot better ever since she applied. the ointment.

After she had disinfected her injuries, Willow began to apply the ointment to the rest of her body. Before she could finish treating her wounds, however, she received a few text messages.

"Get your ass over here, Willow!"

"If you don't give me what I want in the next 30 minutes, then you better watch out!"

Willow could practically imagine the cruelty on Zayn's face as she read the messages. Mentally, she laughed in exasperation. But she still sent a text message back.

"Can I not come over today? I'm really om not feeling well.

After some thought, Willow sent another text.

"Can you get someone else to buy it first? I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"Not feeling well? But you really mean that now's an inconvenient time for you, no?
