Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Sharon handed the milk tea to Wallace, she took a sip of the hot orange. She suddenly ran to a large trash can a few meters away and spat out the hot orange she had just drunk.

Wallace quickly followed behind Sharon and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Is it too bad? Or is it too sour? Or is your stomach uncomfortable?”

Sharon’s mouth hurt and her tongue felt numb. Looking at Wallace’s worried expression, she replied, “Neither. I accidentally scalded myself just now.”

Sharon’s period was coming soon. She was worried that it wouldn’t be good to drink something cold, so she asked for a cup of hot orange juice. However, she didn’t expect the orange juice to be so hot. She sucked it up with a straw and was scalded.

“Is the scalding bad?” Wallace asked nervously.

“It shouldn’t be serious. It’s just that my tongue is a little numb,” Sharon replied.

When Wallace heard Sharon say that her tongue was very numb, he knew that it was quite hot. He quickly ran to a nearby stall and bought two bottles of water. When he returned, he unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Sharon. “Drink this water and keep it in your mouth. It can lower the temperature.”

Sharon listened to him and took a sip of water. She originally felt that although she was scalded, it was nothing serious. She didn’t expect Wallace to be so meticulous.

After holding it in her mouth for a while, she went to the trash can and spat it out.

“Finish these two bottles of water. Keeping them in your mouth for a while longer will reduce the damage.”

“There’s no need for so much water.”

“No, finish these two bottles of water. For normal scalding, you need to rinse the area in cold water for 15 to 30 minutes, or soak it in cold water for half an hour.” Sharon usually didn’t pay attention to such details in these aspects, but Wallace knew about them.

“Huh? Do I have to do it for that long?”

“Be good. You’ll recover faster this way. Otherwise, it’ll hurt when you eat tomorrow , ” Wallace coaxed.

As soon as Sharon heard that her tongue would hurt when she ate, she immediately did as Wallace said. She put the water in her mouth and spat it out when the water became warm. This way, she used up two bottles of water.

“Do you feel better?” Wallace asked.

“Much better,” Sharon said. Actually, it was still quite painful now, but she didn’t want Wallace to worry. Moreover, it was already much better than before.

“When you ran to the trash can to spit it out just now, I thought the drink was too sour. Why didn’t you spit it out immediately when you were scalded?” Wallace’s heart ached. “The distance you ran to the trash can just now was enough to make the burn worse.”

Just now, there were people coming and going around, and everyone was eating. Sharon instinctively felt that she had to spit into the trash can. It was too immoral to spit directly on the ground.

“I’m afraid it’s not good to spit it out on the road,” Sharon said in embarrassment. She also realized that she should spit the drink out immediately when she was scalded.

“The next time you encounter such a situation, spit it out immediately. By the time you find the trash can and run over, you’ll have been scalded. Next time, even if there’s someone beside you, it doesn’t matter if you spit on someone else. Even if you have to spit on someone else, don’t burn yourself, do you hear me?” Wallace said seriously.

Wallace’s heart ached and he was a little angry. He was angry that Sharon didn’t know how to take care of herself, but at the same time, he blamed himself. He blamed himself for allowing Sharon to be scalded even though he was by her side, but such things were out of his control.

Sharon was amused by his words.

“Got it,” Sharon said with a smile.

“Where did you buy this drink from?” Wallace asked. Sharon pointed at a beverage stall not far away and said, “I bought it there.” “I’ll go find them.” Wallace walked towards the stall.

Sharon was afraid that he would talk nonsense and find trouble with that stall.

She felt that it wasn’t easy for them to run a small business. She quickly pulled

Wallace and said, “Hubby, don’t go. I was careless.”

Wallace stopped and said seriously to Sharon, “I touched that paper cup just now. It’s still very hot. The temperature of their hot drink is indeed too high. Moreover, there’s no hint on the cup that says ‘be careful of the hot drink scalding your mouth’. What if the next person who goes to buy it is scalded again? What if a child is scalded?”

Sharon felt that Wallace made sense, so she let go of his arm.

“Don’t worry. I’m just reminding them.

After all, they didn’t do it on purpose..
