Only then did he notice that her neck was still a little red, as if she’d been scalded by something.
He’d wanted to blow up at her, but seeing her like this, his anger just evaporated.

lan grabbed Maja but saw her shrink back, her eyes filled with a resigned determination,
But he could still see a hint of deep–seated terror and fear
Realizing she was afraid of him, his fingers tightened around the back of her collar, a tremor running through them.
If it were other woman, he would have thrown her out by now
But at that moment, seeing that deep–seated emotion in her eyes, he felt a pain not in his cheek but somewhere in
his heart.
It felt like being rubbed with a blunt knife.
lan’s cheek was visibly swelling, even his mouth tasted of blood.
He let her go, his voice full of threats.
“You’re really asking for it.”
With that, he grabbed his jacket and left, slamming the door behind him.
Maja had thought he would continue tormenting her after saying that, but hearing the sound of the front door
closing, she realized he had left.

The doctor hadn’t gone far, and he came back immediately after receiving his call.
“Mr. Raymond.”
