Chapter 72
I became easily tired and longed for sleep. Perhaps it was due to me getting further along. I didn’t even realize that I had fallen asleep during the home until Dawn woke me up. That was when I finally opened my eyes in a daze.

“Are you tired? You should go home and get some rest.”
“Okay.” I nodded. I deliberately took a day off to get the divorce procedure done, but it only took me half a day to do that and go to the hospital. There was still half a day left, so it was perfect for me to grab some shut–eye.
After I saw Dawn drive off, I headed straight upstairs. Just as I was about to open the door, the door across from me suddenly opened.
“Tom? What are you…” I was puzzled when I saw him here at this time of day, but I couldn’t resist glancing at the wound on his arm.
“Didn’t you get it treated? 1 frowned slightly and added in a worried tone, “Bacteria and germs could easily get into your body through the wound. Then, it’ll get infected.”
However, Tom merely lowered his gaze and glanced at it dismissively. “I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound.”
I couldn’t stand it anymore. Then, it occurred to me that I still hadn’t finished the medicine I bought. So, I immediately said, “Give me a minute. I’m going to get the first aid kit and bandage you up.”
At first, I thought Tom would get annoyed. To my surprise, he was actually still waiting by the door when I came back with the first aid kit.
“I hope it’s not too much trouble for you, Grace” Tom’s lips curled into a grin. Then, he gestured toward his house behind him with his chin. “If you don’t mind, we can take this to my place.”
“Sure.”
At first, I thought our houses would have similar layouts. However, when I opened the door, I came to realize that Tom’s place was much more spacious than mine.
Moreover, his living room was surrounded by glass that allowed us to take a gander at the wetland reserve. I could even see the most iconic and tallest building in Fuvine in the distance.
The views were splendid everywhere I looked, and it felt like I was standing on top of the clouds. I sat on the couch and looked around me, only to find that everything felt surreal to me.
I knew very early on that this neighborhood catered to the rich, and I also thought my place was quite luxurious, measuring 2,400 square feet. It never occurred to me that Tom’s place was much bigger and better.
“Have a glass of water.” That was when Tom poured me a glass of water and put it down in front of me.
I quickly thanked him. I voiced up when he sat on the couch next to mine. “Can I start treating your wound now?”
Tom rolled up his sleeve, revealing his firm muscles and the wound on his arm, before giving me a sidelong glance. I quickly took some sterilized cotton swabs and dabbed them with lodophor. Then, I started disinfecting his wound.
“You went to the courthouse for the divorce procedure, didn’t you?”
I instinctively raised my gaze, only to find myself meeting his eyes. I hurriedly averted my gaze and nodded. “Yeah. It’s all done now, I’ll get the divorce certificate it Gavin doesn’t go back on his decision during this one–month cooling–off period.”
Tom nodded subtly and let out a small chuckle. It was a soft sound, but it was lingering. With that said, there was a sense of carefree ease about it. His voice sounded considerably seductive when he asked, “If that’s the case, don’t you think it’s time for you to repay me?”
