Chapter 60: HELPING OUT THE PACK
"Are you sure she is Gerald’s daughter?" A young woman approached Grilla, as she stared at Iris. "Or is she just pretending to be nice?"
Grilla shook her head. "I don’t know," she replied in a small voice, but she intended to look at her closely.
Meanwhile, Iris was not aware of what they were talking about, she only thought that they were mocking or cursing her for being there, which she was already used to and now, she only focused on what she was doing.
Attentively, she removed the bandages and cleaned up the rotten flesh and applied ointment, before she bandaged the wounds again. She had done it thrice before, so the fourth time was much easier for her.
However, the fifth man stirred and opened his eyes. Iris was surprised, but offered him a smile. She just put on ointment and only needed to bandage him again, but seeing he woke up, she offered to give him a glass of water, thinking he must be thirsty after being unconscious for so long.
Iris swiftly washed her hands and poured a glass of water for him.
"Here, you must be thirsty," Iris said warmly, as she brought the glass close to his lips, but to her surprise, he swatted her hand away, which caused the glass to shatter on the ground. It attracted attention from the people around, some patients stirred awake because of the disturbance.
"DON’T TOUCH ME!" The man roared in anger, the way he looked at her, as if he was going to kill her, made Iris jolt and stand up. She took a few steps back out of fear. "Don’t touch me, you monster!"
The last thing that he knew was; he was fighting a monster and got injured, only to wake up and see the daughter of alpha Gerald. His mind was racing back to the days of his slavery and he couldn’t control his emotions, despite his body aching all over.
It was a fact that nobody would ever get over what happened on those dark days.
"GET OUT!" The man screamed and became even more ferocious when Iris didn’t move.
