Chapter 9

Akira looked at him all perplexed . His sly smile made her feel even weird . It was like she was running out of luck . "What are the odds?" , she thought . She left a gasp of air but the guilt was starting to build up . Seeing the shadow of guilt all over her face, Raymond started feeling bad . The smug smile that he had on his face started retracting . He paused for a moment and then said,

"Don't overthink . It's nothing serious . Plus it wasn't deliberate" . She didn't say a word and started looking down .

"I should have walked more carefully" . He added .

Akira gave him a faint smile and said,

"Um, you can keep this ointment with you and apply it again after 8 hours . If you apply regularly then it won't cause any scarring . " And she handed him the ointment . She thought of clarifying herself that she was in a rush and didn't see him at all . But then she didn't want to pile on her reasons .
