A moment of intense pain made Aldana Candi clearly perceive it even though the anesthesia in her legs hadn't worn off.
She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, looking at her powerless legs with blood slowly seeping through the bandages,
dyeing the cloth that had only faint bloodstains into a vivid red.
It hurt, hurt so much, hurt so much that cold sweat broke out all over her body, pain so intense that it made her soul tremble.
Sitting on the floor, she slowly raised her head to look at Steven Balance, who stared at her with a somber face not far away. Trembling, she asked hoarsely, "What exactly... did you do to me?"
Steven Balance attempted to lift her off the ground, but Aldana Candi refused to let him touch her, forcefully pushing his hand away.
She anxiously tried to untie the bandages wrapped around her feet, wanting to figure out what they had done to her legs.
But Steven Balance stepped forward, gripped her hands tightly, and dragged her back to the bed.
