Reaching the river, Liam first focused on carefully cleaning the wound on his thigh.
He made sure to properly wash out every trace of dirt, dried blood, and remnants of the herbal mixture that had been packed into the puncture earlier. The process took a decent amount of time because he had to avoid irritating the damaged tissue too much, even though he was about to heal it completely soon anyway.
Cold river water continuously flowed over the injury while Liam carefully worked around the deeper sections of the wound with steady fingers.
Every now and then, pain would flare through the muscle whenever the water reached sensitive tissue, but Liam ignored it and continued cleaning the wound thoroughly.
He wasn't about to waste a healing potion because of carelessness.
After several minutes, he finally cleaned the puncture to the best of his ability under the circumstances.
Only then did Liam finally take out the small glass bottle Charlotte had given him earlier.
