Chapter 579: Lean On Me
"What did he say to Mrs Jenkins?" Autumn asked aloud as she watched the doctor glance angrily at Savoy and ask him to leave.
Even as she wondered this, she heard Gabe say," Autumn, you need to let go."
She frowned," Let go? How can I let this go? What are you talking about..."
She heard him grimace even as her eyes remained glued to the screen," Autumn you need to let my hand go... unless you want me to bleed?"
Autumn frowned at that.. Let his hand go? Bleed? It took her a moment to realize but then she looked down and her eyes widened... She’d been clutching his hand and wrist with both her hands in a vice like grip...
Autumn looked down at his hand and gulped. There were crescent moon like marks on his hand.. All ten of them.. And some were even bleeding...
"Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry.I’ll get some ointment right away!"
She jumped up and rushed to the bathroom, her heart pounding with anxiety. How did she not realize she was holding onto him? Gabe watched her go, a small, amused smile playing on his lips despite the discomfort. She looked so horrified as if she’d stabbed him...When she returned, she had a tube of antiseptic ointment and a few bandages in hand.
"Antiseptic is fine, Autumn. I don’t need bandages." He tried to speak up but she gave him a look and quickly grabbed his hand." Just let me take care of that," she said sitting close to him on the couch. He smiled as he looked at her down turned face. She seemed to be applying that with the focus of a surgeon.. Her eyes narrowed and nose all scrunched up.
