Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 72

I became easily tired and longed for sleep. Perhaps it was due to me getting further along. I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep during the drive home until Dawn woke me up. That was when I finally opened my eyes in a daze.

"Are you tired? You should go home and get some rest."

"Okay." I nodded. I deliberately took a day off to get the divorce procedure done, but it only took me half a day to do that and go to the hospital. There was still half a day left, so it was perfect for me to grab some shut-eye.

After I saw Dawn drive off, I headed straight upstairs. Just as I was about to open the door, the door across from me suddenly opened.

"Tom? What are you…" I was puzzled when I saw him here at this time of day, but I couldn't resist glancing at the wound on his arm.

"Didn't you get it treated?" I frowned slightly and added in a worried tone, "Bacteria and germs could easily get into your body through the wound. Then, it'll get infected."

However, Tom merely lowered his gaze and glanced at it dismissively. "I'm fine. It's just a flesh wound."

I couldn't stand it anymore. Then, it occurred to me that I still hadn't finished the medicine I bought. So, I immediately said, "Give me a minute. I'm going to get the first aid kit and bandage you up."

At first, I thought Tom would get annoyed. To my surprise, he was actually still waiting by the door when I came back with the first aid kit.

"I hope it's not too much trouble for you, Grace." Tom's lips curled into a grin. Then, he gestured toward his house behind him with his chin. "If you don't mind, we can take this to my place."

"Sure."
