Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1226

Debra took the medicine and band-aids, but the atmosphere in the living room suddenly felt awkward.

"I'm going upstairs."

"Can you put it on by yourself?"

"Yes."

"Let me see you do it."

Debra cleared her throat, determined to prove she could do it. She sat down on the sofa, opened the medicine, and sprinkled it on her wound. But since her right hand was injured, using her left hand was tricky, and some of the powder spilled.

With the medicine on her wound, she couldn't move her right hand at all. The band-aid lay untouched on the table. Opening a band-aid one-handed was harder than she thought.

"I rushed it," Debra said, trying to save face. "If I had opened the band-aid first..."

Before she could finish, Andrew had already opened the band-aid and carefully applied it to her finger. His movements were gentle and precise.

"Do you know where Marion went?"

"Probably went to find someone who knows the identity of the mastermind."

"Robert?" Debra was surprised.

She wondered if he had been investigating alone all this time. It was frustrating that he had kept it from her.

Andrew read her mind. "He just doesn't want you to worry."

The next morning, at the Buchan Mansion, Theda was tending to Robert's bruised face.

"Hold still," she said.

Robert didn't dare move or speak.

"You're a grown man, and you still get into fights?" Theda lectured. "I shouldn't have let you live so far away. Fighting thugs in the suburbs at night, you could make international news."

"I'm sorry," Robert muttered, hanging his head.

A maid rushed in. "Ms. Buchan, your family is here."
