She felt a sharp pain when her torn knee came into contact with the alcohol. She only took a deep breath initially, but she endured it and did not make a sound. Then, she used a cotton swab to wipe the wet stains near the wound.
Qiao Nian nimbly disinfected her wound and applied medicine. She even used gauze to tie up the larger areas.
