Revenge After rebirth novel Chapter 16

Anderson hadn't been back for days, so Mayra couldn't seem to figure out why he had suddenly returned. Didn't Anderson say he was going to cut ties with her?

In the past, Anderson would also often get hurt, and she would have to take care of him each time. Therefore, she had already grown accustomed to such occurrences.

Before Anderson had returned to the Barlow family, the money he brought back was all ill-gotten gains. Mayra was aware of this. However, their life back then was truly too difficult. Moreover, Anderson still had to provide for her, so it was exceptionally hard for him.

While she had given up her love for Anderson, she was still grateful to him for raising her. Without him, she wouldn't be where she was today. Right now, all she felt toward Anderson was merely familial love.

Regardless of whether Anderson chose to abandon her or marry Isabel in the end, she would respect his decision.

"I'll go get you the medical box."

Just as Mayra was about to get up and head to the room, Anderson suddenly grabbed her wrist. "It's not my blood."

Upon hearing his words, she paused. She didn't know whether to feel scared or relieved. Did Anderson… do those things again?

After a moment of silence, Mayra finally snapped back into her senses. She took a seat beside Anderson and took a few tissues from the coffee table. With worry etched on her face, she leaned in and began slowly wiping the blood stains off of his face.

Anderson didn't stop her. Instead, he seemed rather used to her touch. This was completely unlike him as he usually never allowed anyone near him.

"Aren't you scared of me, Mayra?"

Mayra met his deep gaze. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "I'm not. I know that no matter what, you'll never hurt me."

She added, "As long as I don't do anything wrong, you'll treat me better than anyone else."
