A door opened as a woman was changing a cold compress on her waist. She was wearing only her sports bra, which surprised the man who opened the door.
"Kylie?! Sorry, I didn't know you were changing your compress," the man said.
"Yes, I was changing it. Why are you so surprised, Damian?"
"Ekhem... I was just reflexively surprised. Why are you changing it by yourself? I used to do it for you." Damian took Kylie's compress and wrapped it around his lover's back.
His eyes narrowed sharply at the puncture wound Kylie had gotten a month ago during their mission to the remote village.
When they were about to leave the place, one of Veronica's followers, who did not accept Veronica's capture and still believed the other woman was a demon, suddenly ran to stab Kylie.
