Zoe's Visit

At that moment, the knife in his hand that he was using to peel the garlic suddenly cut into his hand, and blood oozed out.

Nox immediately covered it up as he did not want Shelly to see it. After all, Shelly had just complained that he either had bad knife skills or was prone to cut his finger. Now, he had cut his finger again. 

"Is it bleeding?" Shelly asked.

"It's nothing. It's just a small injury. I used to get injured a lot, so it's nothing," Nox quickly said.

"Let me bandage it for you."

"There's no need to bandage such a small injury. It'll be fine in a while."

"Nox."

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me," Nox urged, not wanting Shelly to look down on him.

Shelly was a little speechless. "In that case, clean the wound. If the garlic touches the wound, it will hurt even more."

"I said it doesn't hurt anymore, so go do your own thing." Nox was starting to get impatient.
