Chapter 92: Treatment and tears
Due to Coco being wounded, she was sent back to her room in the Red Horse Inn early.
"Look, it was just a scratch, I’m fine!" Coco said, trying to assure Jacques and Mrs. Tani for the nth time that evening, watching their every move as they walk around her room.
First of all, she invited the two of them inside out of courtesy, but didn’t actually think they would come inside.
They forced her to take a bath— no, they didn’t take a bath with her, they waited for her to be done before dragging her back to her room and tended to her wounds.
It was strange.
Coco didn’t actually think that the two women would be tending to her just because she was bleeding from the scratches she received from the flying pig’s sharp feathers.
Well, she somehow expected it from Jacques, but Mrs. Tani? Mrs. Tani is only her business partner.
The merchant asked her to be one of her producers and bought the fruits she harvested— yet, Mrs. Tani is scrambling in and out of the room, taking things from the lobby of the inn and bringing it inside of Coco’s room.
"A scratch doesn’t bleed like that, Coco." Jacques said, her voice stern as she dabbed a cotton against Coco’s wound.
Coco grumbled under her breath, her eyebrows furrowed as she flinched, the sting of the liquid that Jacques dipped the cotton in made her want to cuss out everything around her.
"I brought your dinner." Mrs. Tani spoke up as she walked through the door for the nth time, carrying a wooden tray.
