Jonathan sighed and suddenly scooped her up in his arms. Despite her struggles and confusion, he cared her to his car opened the passenger door, and placed her inside.

Jonathan grumbled, “Every time I say something you don’t like, you run off faster than a rocket! And this time, you even ran out barefoot Won’t others think you’re crazy?“.

Teresa turned her face away, her voice muffled “None of your business

Jonathan snorted. “With how fast you ran, how did your feet still get cold?”

Teresa replied nothing.

Jonathan took out a medicated cream from his coat, unwrapped it, and began applying it to Teresa’s feet. He had come to the hospital partly to check on her mom and see if there was anything he could help with.

Additionally, he was also worried about her, wondering if her feet were injured from running out barefoot, how she was doing, and if she had any side effects from taking the contraceptive pills.
