章節 22: A marking

This was her reality.

Leona continued struggling on the bed, her fingers clenched the sheets.

Her eyes turned red and her body seemed to be breaking inch by inch under the excruciating pain. 

She almost passed out from the unbearable pain but just as her eyes started closing, she endured it stubbornly and clenched her fists as she turned her face to the side. 

And in the next moment, she was astonished as she the reflection of a golden glow hovering around her body in the window glass. 

Her eyes turned wide in disbelief.
