Chapter 16: Can I Kiss You?

Seeing this familiar burn wound, Gwenda could not help but recall the memory from her previous life where she had to redress the burns of her own disfigured face.

At that time, forty percent of her face had been burned. Every time she had to go to the doctor to redress her burns, she would cry for some time because of the pain.

The doctor always comforted her, saying that she just had to bear the pain for a bit.

But she knew that such pain was not something that you could endure just because someone asked you to.

That was why Gwenda soothed Olivier, saying, "If it hurts, you can just let it out." because she could empathise with the pain that came from a burn wound.

Olivier smiled faintly. "Alright."

Thus, Gwenda began the process of redressing his wound. Her face was screwed up in concentration, her movements gentle so as to not cause any unnecessary pain.

Looking down at Gwenda, Olivier felt unconsciously drawn to her.
