The air was filled with nothing but the sound of two people breathing heavily for a moment.
Ian Linton staggered several steps back before finally steadying himself. He raised a hand to wipe away the blood constantly dripping down his face and couldn't help but chuckle softly. Looking at Daisy Ginger, sprawled on the bed and gasping violently, her face pale, he softly called out, "Director Ginger... I really can't afford to underestimate you; you always manage to surprise me."
Daisy's mind was blank. After being flung by Ian, her broken bone was injured again, and all that registered in her brain was the word "pain."
The pain was so intense that she couldn't even hear what Ian was saying. It felt as though the world was separated from her by a vacuum barrier.
She felt Ian approach and pour some bitter liquid into her mouth. After about ten minutes, the pain gradually lessened, and she realized it was a painkiller.
