"Help me to the sofa. I'll tell you." said Max calmly, a small smile on his face which he put on to help Vivian relax a little.
But he underestimated just how much she cared for him and as a result, how worried she would be to see him wrapped in bandages.
Swoosh!
She rushed over, her eyes already wet with tears, and looked at him up and down, her lips trembling.
"T-This… How did it happen?"
Max sighed inwardly and repeated his words, "Help me in and I'll tell you. And don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks."
"O-Okay." Vivian nodded and very gently, she put his hand over her shoulder before wrapping her arm around his waist and taking him over to the sofa.
She was extremely careful and walked very slow, worried that she might hurt him if she walked just a bit faster.
This made Max smile wryly, but he was also touched.
A minute later, he finally reached the sofa, and sat down.
