Marguente quickly let go looking down to see a band of purple bruising around Jocelyn’s wrist
“Don’t worry about the water. Let me help you with these wounds first”
Without waiting for a response. Marguente gently pushed Jocelyn onto the couch and sat down beside
her
The smell of the ointment was sharp and distinct. Marguerite warmed some in her hands, then began
to gently apply it to Jocelyn’s arm, “Maam your injuries lock predy severe fil do what I can, but we
should really take you to the hospital”
Jocelyns voice was barely above a whisper “Tm not going. These are just minor injuries. I’m used to it”
Marguere looked at her in disbelief. “You are used to it? Did Mr Powell hurt you?”

Marguente fet a pang in her heart. “Why didn’t you tell Mr. Powell? Wouldn’t he protect you if he saw

Marguente couldn’t help but feel bitter as she continued to apply the ointment to Jocelyn’s wounds.
