Chapter 376:
“Honey, it’s really nothing,” Kyson said with a smile, yet he still allowed her to rummage for bandages and ointment, yielding to every careful touch. “You don’t have to make such a big deal out of it p>
“How is this not a big deal?” Kailey shot him a sharp look, the rims of her eyes flushed pink. “It already looks bad. If you skip the ointment now, it’s going to ache tomorrow p>
With painstaking gentleness, she spread the medicine over his skin. A quiet ache lingered in her chest—soft guilt blending with muted frustration in every careful stroke. Deep down, she hated the thought of him being injured because of her.
To Kyson, it was nothing more than a minor scrape, yet the sight of her anxious focus curved his lips into an indulgent smile. That earnest, almost stubborn seriousness on her face struck him as unexpectedly beautiful. A playful thought slipped through his mind—perhaps if he ever upset her someday, he might earn another moment of such tender attention.
Unaware of the thoughts running through his mind, Kailey carefully secured the final fold of gauze around his palm and murmured, “You can remove it later. The wrap’s only there to help the ointment sink in. If you keep it on too long, your skin won’t get any air p>
Studying the tidy white bandage circling his hand, Kyson lifted a brow and drawled with lazy amusement, “Honey, who told you wrapping it like this improves absorption p>

“I figured it out myself. Do you see a problem with that p>
“None at all p>
A playful spark flashed in Kyson’s eyes as he prepared another teasing remark, but the sharp wail of sirens suddenly sliced through the air outside. The police responded with startling speed, their vehicles arriving at the entrance in barely five minutes.
When Kailey stepped out beside Kyson, she found Devin already finishing a brisk explanation of the incident to the officers. Trespassing, deliberate assault, destruction of property—each charge stacked heavily against Olivia, and the likelihood of her spending time behind bars was almost certain.
Cold metal cuffs snapped around Olivia’s wrists as officers forced her against the car. She thrashed wildly, hair flying, voice shrill with panic. “Let me go! I didn’t do anything wrong! Why are you arresting me? Kailey, you can’t treat me like this! Aren’t you scared your uncle will come after you p>
Kailey let out a scoff, her eyes flashing with open disdain. “Why would I ever be afraid of him coming after me p>
For a heartbeat, Olivia faltered, breath hitching in her throat before fury surged back into her eyes. “Don’t forget, I’m his girlfriend p>
Closing the distance with unhurried steps, Kailey met her glare with a frigid, unwavering stare that held no trace of sympathy. “Whoever you are doesn’t matter. I’ll see this through to the end. The moment you laid a hand on my husband, you made your choice p>
Olivia ended up in police custody, and Devin trailed behind the officers all the way to the station.
Chaos filled the once lovely yard where Kailey remained standing. The scene around her looked nothing like the careful arrangement from earlier.
Ryan reached her side without a sound.
