Reborn, Its Time To Save My Family And.. My Enemy!

The words fell in her ears but it did not register in her brain. Her mind refused to work. She could only hear the sound of her pounding her in her eardrums, making her feel hot and burning. His hands started to slide on her hands. She knew she should pull away but as if a spell had been casted, she could not move. Her body temperature slowly seeps through. It made her whole body tremble.

"You are burning too. You are sick." he announced with a frown. She followed his gaze and noticed there was a red mark on her arm just above her elbows. Edward had held her tightly earlier but she had not realized that it had left a mark.

How did he know? He was not in the room? But the way he was looking at it, her eyes started to burn and sting again. The desire to cry started to envelop her again.

"You taught him a good lesson!" he whispered softly, "you are a brave girl!" his fingers brushed the wounds softly leaving a shiver on her skin. Could a simple touch be felt like that? Her mind was in a daze and her cheeks flushed red. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt dizzy.

She did not even notice that he had taken out an ointment at some point until he applied it on her bruised arms.

"I promise it will never happen again." when he let go of her hands, she felt a strange coldness and emptiness. She looked at his hand biting her lips. But shook her head and concentrated on her hands instead.

He had applied a cooling ointment.

"Do not cover it up for the time being. It will be better by morning." Olivia nodded, not at all worried about the bruise. Her mind was in turmoil.
