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

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