Chapter 280
Amelia guessed that it was holy water the priests had dropped on her and Killian, but what she didn’t understand was Killian standing calm while it felt like her body was on fire. She was neither a witch nor a demon to be affected by holy water.
"Does it hurt?" Killian asked, inspecting Amelia’s hands, which were turning red. He also did not understand why Amelia was affected by holy water. She was just a regular human unless her involvement with him made her less pure.
Holy water was tricky since it did not just affect demons.
Amelia nodded her head.
Margret took a step forward to inspect what was happening to Amelia, who was trembling. Killian should be the one in pain right now. Her arms were grabbed by a priest who did not want her to get close to Killian. "You corrupted my granddaughter," she said.
Killian ignored Margaret’s words, which were not necessary at the moment. He took hold of Amelia’s hands, causing her to flinch. "Can you make it to the door? I will take care of them," he said.
Killian’s anger had reached a new level now that Amelia was hurt by all of this.
Amelia watched her hands tremble from the pain. Her arms and other parts of her body felt stiff. Why was she caught up in this fight between Killian and the priest? She was the one trying to stop this, and yet she ended up in pain for some reason.
Amelia slowly nodded her head. They weren’t that far away from the door, and no matter how far she had to walk, she wanted to find cold water and jump in it.
Amelia pushed through the pain and walked around Killian to go to the door. She could not think of her grandmother or the priests at this moment. All that was on her mind was finding cold water so she could stop this burning feeling that covered her body.
"You have ruined her" Margaret sneered. There was no reason why Amelia should be affected by holy water. It was what they planned to use to cleanse her once Killian was gone. She believed Killian had done something to Amelia.
