**Chapter 96: Draupadi’s Fiery Fury (Continued)**

Draupadi’s bleeding was severe, and the sight of her injured hands was distressing. The Pandavas, their expressions reflecting their deep concern, quickly took action to address her condition.

Yudhishthira, Arjuna, Bhima, and Sahadeva gently washed Draupadi’s hands in cold water to clean the wounds and help stop the bleeding. The cold water offered a temporary relief from the intense pain, but it also highlighted the extent of her injuries.

With careful precision, they began applying bandages to her hands. The process was meticulous, as they worked to ensure the bandages were secure but not too tight, aiming to prevent further bleeding while providing the necessary support to her wounded hands.

Draupadi, exhausted and in considerable pain, found some comfort in the presence of Nakula. As the Pandavas finished tending to her injuries, Nakula gently guided Draupadi to rest her head on his chest. She complied, the warmth and solidity of his embrace offering a soothing contrast to her agony.

Nakula hugged her tightly, his own heart aching for her suffering. His arms were a refuge for Draupadi, providing both physical and emotional support. He whispered comforting words into her ear, trying to reassure her despite the severity of her injuries.

The room, now quieter, was filled with the soft sounds of Nakula’s soothing voice and Draupadi’s labored breathing. The Pandavas, having done all they could to tend to her wounds, took a step back to allow Nakula to offer her the comfort she needed.

Yudhishthira, Arjuna, Bhima, and Sahadeva remained nearby, their expressions a mix of relief and concern as they watched Nakula care for Draupadi. They knew that while they had managed to stop the immediate danger, the emotional and physical aftermath of her outburst would take time to heal.

As Draupadi rested against Nakula, her breathing gradually steadied. The bandages on her hands, though not a perfect solution, provided some relief from the pain. Nakula’s presence was a steady source of comfort, his embrace a symbol of the unwavering support of her family.

The Pandavas, though still deeply concerned, took solace in the fact that Draupadi was no longer in immediate distress. They continued to keep a close watch on her, ready to offer any additional support she might need as she recovered from the traumatic events of the past hours.

Draupadi’s eyes, though still shadowed with pain, showed a glimmer of gratitude as she rested against Nakula. The bond between them, strengthened by this ordeal, was a testament to their enduring love and commitment. The road to recovery would be long, but with the Pandavas’ steadfast support and Nakula’s comforting embrace, Draupadi began to find a measure of peace amidst the chaos.
