Lindsay responded with a nod.
Ste suddenly remembered the untouched dishes.
She said, “Why didn’t you have dinner tonight? Didn’t you like the food cooked by Erin? What do you want to eat? Tell me.
I’ll cook it for you.
”
Lindsay shook her head.
“It’s not because of Erin.
I just have no appetite.
”
“What’s wrong? Does the wound hurt so much that you can’t eat?”

“No,” Lindsay said in a low voice.
Ste’s hands didn’t stop moving, but she noticed the disappointment in Lindsay’s words.
She raised her head and was about to ask more.
But she was stunned when she saw the tears in Lindsay’s eyes.
When she came to her senses, Ste immediately stopped what she was doing and asked in a panic, “I’m sorry.
Did I hurt you?”
As soon as she said this, tears streamed down Lindsay’s face, making Ste panic even more.
Lindsay wiped the tears off her face and forced a smile.
“No, it’s not it.
Don’t mind me.
I’m just too weak.
”
Ste sat next to Lindsay and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Is there anything that makes you unhappy?”
“No.
I’ve actually been very happy these days.
I’ve been abroad for a long time, and no one has cared about me like this.
I’m just so moved that I can’t control my emotions.
”
Ste breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
She sighed solemnly and said, “I understand how you feel.
”
Ste picked up the cotton swab again and continued applying medicine to Lindsay’s wound, recounting her past.
“I used to study abroad alone.
My grandfather was old, and I didn’t want him to worry about me.
So, I only told him the good things and hid the bad ones.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
At that time, I didn’t have many friends, either.
There was almost no entertainment.
I could only use my studies to numb myself every day.
Such a life was really hard and lonely.
”
Because of the robbery incident, Ste grew closer to Lindsay.
Noticing Lindsay’s sorrow, Ste wanted to offer somefort.
After a long conversation and bandaging her wound, Ste reassured Lindsay, “Don’t worry too much.
Now that you’re back in Seamarsh, you have family and friends nearby.
If you ever find yourself in trouble, you can always ask me and Matthew for help.
”
“Okay, I will,” Lindsay replied, managing a smile through her tears.
Ste handed her some tissues.
“Here, wipe your eyes.
They’re quite swollen.
You don’t want them looking rough tomorrow.
”
Lindsay took the tissues and dabbed at her eyes.
“Grandma was right about you.
You’re truly kind.
She always said I should spend more time with you.
I’ve decided to take her advice.
I hope you won’t mind.
”
With a warm smile, Ste responded, “Of course not.
I don’t have many friends here in Seamarsh.
It would be nice to have someone to talk and shop with.
”
Lindsay seemed less down than she was earlier.
ncing at her watch, Ste said, “You haven’t eaten yet.
Are you hungry? Maybe we could grab something to eat downstairs? Even if you’re not feeling hungry, you shouldn’t skip meals.
It’s not good for your health.
