The two of them were overjoyed.
After drinking a little water, Annabelle Linton unwrapped Leona Grant's wound to re-dress it.
His wound was deep, caused by a sharp rock on the cliff.
In truth, cuts like that were the most painful.
Annabelle Linton went to look for some herbs elsewhere, intending to apply them to Leona Grant's injury.
After all, he'd gotten hurt because of her, and she didn't want to owe him anything.
Many of the plants here were valuable medicinal herbs, so Annabelle Linton also gathered a few with anti-inflammatory and heat-relieving properties.
Returning to where Leona Grant was sitting, she used fresh water to clean his wound, then applied the herbs.
Leona Grant lowered his gaze, watching Annabelle Linton, who had her head down as she bandaged his wound. A gentle light he himself hadn't noticed flowed in his eyes.
At that moment, he found himself thinking, 'If we can't get out of here, I wouldn't mind staying.'
