Eevonne threw herself into Kingston's arms immediately and cried in extreme fear. "They beat me up. I'm in pain all over my body. My head was rubbed on the concrete pavement and it hurts like hell. It's so painful..."
"I know. I know it all," Kingston said while feeling heartbroken.
When the doctor was administering antivenom to Eevonne, he did a full body check for her as well. Her organs were fine, but there were quite a few soft tissue injuries. There were injuries all over her scalp. Kingston could not help but feel emotional that both parties are families, they were cousins, but her cousin unexpectedly could beat her up so violently. However, when he gave it another thought, was this not how it has always been? Master Sebastian's brothers had also exhausted all the ways to kill him back then, had they not? Humans have always had an evil side.
"Get some sleep. Nobody would come and beat you up again," Kingston coaxed Eevonne gently. She then closed her eyes again. This time, she slept very soundly. There were not any nightmares anymore throughout the night. In the morning, Eevonne was the first to wake up. She had a great sleep the night before, so she was feeling refreshed at that moment. She saw that Kingston was sleeping soundly on the bed opposite hers, and she did not wake him up.
The man’s face looked very proper when he slept, which did not look like he was sound asleep. However, he was breathing consistently and snoring softly. Which part of him was strange then It was after she observed him for a while that she realized his muscles all over his body were tensed up. His leg, his arms, and all...
Was he on a war footing? Eevonne could not think of a good way to describe it. She just felt that Kingston was a person who was ready for combat when he was asleep. Could it be that because he was in an unfamiliar place, so he was very alert when he slept? Eevonne just looked quietly at the man in deep sleep, who was just like an elder brother.
It was nearly half an hour later that Kingston woke up. Out of habit, the man opened his eyes and sat up straight on his bed abruptly at the same time. In an instant, he saw that the girl's two clear eyes were staring straight at him without blinking at all. The girl looked very funny. Her head was wrapped up in bandages and
there were even eye boogers in both her eyes. It was not that obvious during the day yesterday, but at that moment, one side of her cheeks was obviously bruised and a little swollen from being beaten.
Also, the corner of her lips...
The girl, who was in such a sorry state, just sat very seriously on the bed while looking at Kingston. He suddenly laughed. That was the only time he had laughed so happily from the bottom of his heart in the past couple of years. He was thinking there truly were not many perfectly flawless beauties in the world. However, how could this girl, who was extremely ordinary, has plenty of bad habits, almost became a psycho, and was so ugly be so cute and lovable?
"Y-You're awake? What are you...smiling at? " Eevonne asked him awkwardly while scratching her head.
Kingston was finally unable to hold back and laughed out loud. "Look at your saliva at the corner of your lips. It almost went into your ears. It's such a long stain. That's really ugly..."
The girl suddenly laughed. "Don't look at me!"
She got out of bed quickly and rushed toward the basin outside the ward. As soon as she saw the way she looked, she laughed once again. The girl cleaned herself up, but she still took a longer time than the man. After Eevonne cleaned herself up and returned to the ward, she saw that Kingston had already finished washing up and had already ordered breakfast.
"We can only have porridge these two days.
After we've recovered, I treat you to something good and let you have some good nutrition. Look how thin you are." Kingston pushed the porridge toward her.
Eevonne was so touched that she was a little teared up.
"What's the matter?" Kingston asked.
