Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 138

Though Miranda had seen Elian's body before, aware he bore numerous scars, a closer examination today still took her aback.

Previously, she'd only glimpsed the scars, unable to gauge their depth. But now, inspecting them closely, she realized most were life-threatening. Just how much luck did he possess to be up and about today? Many of these wounds, had they been a millimeter deeper, or slightly more off-course, would have ended his life or left him permanently impaired.
