Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Zed heard Jean let out a scream in the kitchen following a crackling sound. He didn't know what had happened, but a bad feeling overcame him. He immediately put down the magazine he was reading and rushed to the kitchen.

Zed saw Jean laying on the floor with fragments of bowls and plates scattered everywhere in the kitchen.

It was not difficult for Zed to guess what had happened to Jean. Jean's hands were badly cut by those sharp fragments when she slipped. The cuts kept bleeding, resulting a rather gory scene. Zed was startled. He felt his heart ached when he saw those wounds. How she fell down? Was she hurt badly?

Zed came to seconds later. He quickly carried Jean out of the kitchen. After placing her on the sofa. He went to fetch the first aid kit. He squatted in front of Jean and tended to her cuts.

But the cuts were too deep, the bleeding didn't stop. So Zed simply disinfect them and bandage them carefully before driving Jean to the hospital.

Jean leaned her head against the car window, holding her hands tightly in attempt to relieve her pain. Tears were welling in her eyes as the sharp pain continued to assault her.

Zed sped. Luckily, it was already nine o'clock and there were fewer cars on the road. Zed drove to the nearest hospital and carried Jean in.

The doctor examined the cuts carefully. He then looked up to Zed, "The cuts are pretty severe, she'll need stitches."

"What? Stitches?" Jean was shocked. Her face, paled for losing too much blood, became even whiter after hearing what the doctor said.

Zed looked down to see Jean's worried face. He frowned and asked the doctor, "Will you be applying anesthetic?"

"We only have general anesthetic now, local anesthesia will be stocked up tomorrow. This young lady has lost so much blood and the cuts are serious. If they are not treated now, they will be infected. If she lost any more blood she'll go into shock and anemia." The doctor explained patiently.

"No..." Jean clenched her teeth in pain. She would rather bare with the pain than having stitches done without anesthetic. Having to feel the needle going in and out, hole by hole, was just too much! She couldn't handle it, she turned to Zed and shook her head frantically.

Watching her face grew paler, Zed's heart was held by an unknown force and it pained him.
