The illusion of seeing his ex-wife is diminished slightly by the sight of Emma cringing at the sight of her wound and turning away. While Allison also shied away from injuries on occasion, it was never over something as small as this, never over something that she herself visibly had. Allison's pain came in the form of sympathy before all else, and even then, she knew when to bite back an emotion when it'd better serve the patient to have her calm and collected.
Everyone messed up now and again, but as far as Chase is concerned, Allison was one of the best at keeping it together.
"There won't be any judgment here," he smiles reassuringly, then examines the wound more closely. "Well, it looks like you'll need stitches, at the very least. But the wound itself is nice and clean, so there probably won't be much in the way of scarring if we're careful. I'd prefer to get to this sooner rather than later to reduce the risk of infection, so I can grab some anesthetic and inject it in your hand to make sure you don't feel a thing while I stitch. Are you allergic to any medication?"
