Attempting to ease the situation, he mustered a smile and said, "This morning, I had to visit the hospital to change the dressing. Perhaps it's the lingering scent of the nurse's perfume that you're sensing." Lucia expressed her discontent, her dissatisfaction manifesting in fidgeting with her nails, as she grumbled, "That nurse must be exceptionally young and beautiful! You must have found great joy when she attended to your dressing." A chuckle escaped Jacob’s lips, as he playfully cupped her cheek, teasingly asking, "You don’t have to be jealous,my love.I have eyes for only you.” Deeply enamored by Jacob,Lucia’s suspicions were mere fleeting thoughts.
