Chapter 28

“Rose…..”

She slowly mumbled, grabbing her left forearm with her bloodless fingers.

“May I see it for a moment?”

When she nodded helplessly, Ian carefully unbuttoned her collar and lowered her dress.

Her left shoulder was deformedly positioned under her neck, which looked as pale as a dead body. As if the blood flow was blocked, accompanied by progressing necrosis.

She bit her lips when she saw the growing blaze in Ian’s eyes.

As if they were saying, ‘How dare you, Rose!’

Laritte asked quietly.

“Do I look fine……?”
“I think we need to fix it right now.”

Ian continued hesitantly.

“……It’s going to hurt a little. Will it be all right?”

Pain. She was used to it.

Even when she was whipped, she didn’t groan or shriek even once. She naturally thought she was fine with it.

However, before she could stop herself,

“It hurts……”

She muttered.

Well, she didn’t really care about herself.

Ever since she was born and learned how to speak, she had always repeated over the same words every time she was being hit.

‘It does hurt. It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt. I’m fine, I’m fine……’
‘It doesn’t hurt.’
‘I’m alright.’

Tears welled up in her eyes again.

“If it hurts…..”

But it was so unlike her. The Laritte from the past would have frowned at her right now.

She had been tainted by her husband.
