Her entire body was aching badly, Iris couldn't even describe what she felt right now, especially her heart. She felt angry, humiliated and helpless.

How could Cane be so cold and cruel toward her when he knew fully well she had nothing to do with her father?

Iris closed her eyes, but winced when he moved her. Even a single movement was so painful, though the beta had tried his best to move as gently as possible.

Helplessly, Iris rested her head against his chest, while tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She didn't have energy to open her eyes or tell Hanna that she was fine when she was not.
