“Hmph! You have to do a hundred push-ups if you’re lying!” Dakota huffed, but her heart felt lighter than before.
Cameron quipped, “A hundred? That’s too easy. Make it a thousand!”
“Dummy,” Dakota playfully scolded. Her eyes gleamed.
“You’re not upset anymore, right?” Cameron smiled.
Dakota shook her head. “Nope.”
“Then, let’s get up and freshen up. I’ll apply the ointment for you later.” Cameron’s gaze softened.
“Okay.” Dakota nodded lightly.
After freshening up, Cameron applied the ointment for Dakota.
After a night of treatment, the bruises on her arm had almost completely faded, with only a few marks remaining on her back. In another day, they

“Dakota, does it still hurt?” Cameron asked with concern.
“Not really.” Dakota shook her head.
“That’s good.” Cameron finally felt relieved.
“Dakota, are you awake?” Jane asked when she heard the commotion as she passed their bedroom.
