Chapter 465 - Again? (6) (1/2)

”You actually hit her?” Alex shouted at Henry.

Nobody in his family had hit me before, choosing to use words instead. Although, grabbing my wrist and dragging me to another place wasn't painless. Luke trembled in anger as he blamed every one of my wounds on Henry. I started to pity Henry as he continued to walk to the infirmary, ignoring everyone around him.

”I didn't hit her!” Henry yelled once he placed me on a bed.

”This isn't water, it's her sweat from starting to burn from another fever,” he tried to point out.

”Do you think we'll believe that?” Shelly narrowed her eyes.

”When I woke up, she was already this injured,” Henry attempted to explain.

”Yea, right!” Sienna glared at him.

”This is too much,” Cillian shuddered.

”She can't even talk from the pain!” Delia added.

”How could you hit Rika? There's no way she'll recover from this soon,” Luke was close to breaking down.

”Do you think I'd actually hit her?” He was shocked by how all his friends acted.

”I already see everything with my own eyes!” Sienna coldly watched him.

”Don't even come closer to her,” Luke warned Henry when he attempted to use heal on me.

”Do you know how hard Rika studied during the last few days to make it up to you?” Sienna continued to blame him.

”Our family won't leave you alone for this,” Alex had a better impression of me ever since I started listening to him.

Although I wanted to defend Henry, more of the pain was starting to come in from the spell. It was hard keeping my eyes open from my black eye. I was glad that once I left the tent, the spell couldn't add to my current set of injuries anymore. While listening to everyone blaming him, Henry started to get angry at them since none of it has been his fault. But he never turned to me for help, knowing how I was too busy from suffering from the pain.

Instead of wasting his energy with Henry, Luke chose to use heal on me as much as he could. Alex made sure to say everything in his place, being ruthless with all the threats he yelled at Henry. Starting from my face, I was soon able to properly blink, all my scars and bruises gone in that area. When Luke switched places with Alex, unable to push himself to use heal on me any longer, he began yelling, ”you know that Rika has a frail body. She could've died today if we decided not to check the infirmary. You're never coming near Rika again. I'm making sure that you won't even breathe the same air as her.”

”Don't you think that's too much?” I spoke after Cillian healed my arms.
