Chapter 57: Jade
Chapter Fifty-Seven – Jade
It was the morning of the third day since Prince Asher’s Lycan attacked. Yet the wolfsbane aftermath, scaly marks, won’t completely heal. They irritated Sorren.
Stefan covered his back, when his brother looked away. "Don’t worry. I’m not like you who worry about scars. I don’t care how many I get."
It wasn’t just the scarring. Sorren replaced the medicines in their box. "This wolfsbane had been tampered with. It somehow reduced the burn effect but it’s slow to heal."
"Or you’re just impatient." Stefan smirked. "It just has to heal till it doesn’t hurt anymore. I’d be fine."
Sorren held the medicine box and made to leave, but he stopped. "It was a cook, Jessika, who brought you in."
"I will thank her. I can’t forget that."
"Thank your mate as well. She had spotted you, then called the cook’s attention. If she had left you there..."
"If anything had happened to me, it’d affect her too. She knows that." Stefan retorted.
His younger brother smirked, turning to him. "So you do acknowledge that you two have a bond? She will feel your pain, and that’s probably what attracted her there."
Was his question if he could feel hers? Then he’d answer honestly. "Laurel doesn’t feel any kind of pain. Emotional or physical pain. Perhaps mental, but that’s all..."
"Isn’t it sad? Maids speak of how she was maltreated by her father, so your deeds are an addition to the suffering her father gave her. What makes you different from the man you killed?"
