章 112: Scars

Ryle walked towards Daisy and stopped at a distance of barely two steps from her. 

''I am in pain,'' he said. 

Daisy frowned. This man... Since when did he become so slow? "I will call the doctor,'' she turned around to leave without waiting for his response 

But she had just taken a few steps when strong fingers wrapped around her wrist and pulled her back. this time, she was standing even closer to Ryle than she was earlier and somehow, the proximity had her heart racing faster. 

''What are you doing? Let me go call the doctor if you are in pain. You might get infected if we delay the treatment. You...'' 

''Shhh,'' Ryle pressed a finger on her lips. 

Daisy stiffened, the warmth of his fingers seemed to have suffused into her lips, then spreading into her whole face. She gulped softly. 

Just when she thought that he would do something, the man calmly put his finger down and also released the hand that he had been holding.
