Lifting his gaze, Nathan Leafcastle saw Vera Wave facing Kris Cooper, looking at Kris's face with deep concern.
Kris Cooper feigned pain, all while shooting Nathan a look mixed with provocation and smugness.
Vera Wave stared intently at his face for a good while but found no signs of redness or swelling.
"Your face looks fine. It's not red or swollen. Where does it hurt?"
Kris Cooper frowned, pulling the young woman into his embrace.
"He must have given me internal injuries! Ouch... my heart aches so much!"
Hearing the tone of his voice, she knew he was perfectly fine. Annoyed, Vera Wave punched him on the chest.
"You're terrible! You scared me to death!"
Kris Cooper lowered his head and kissed her hair. "Mmm... much better now!"
Realizing Kris Cooper was doing all this deliberately, Nathan Leafcastle seethed with anger, yet felt utterly powerless.
