"Are you up?" Dexter's cold voice came from the armchair not far away, at least five or six steps away from her. There was a certain chill in his tone, making her heart feel inexplicably uneasy.

"You're undergoing acupuncture. Don't move," he explained.

Angela understood now. No wonder her entire body felt uncomfortable. Still, this was fine. At least her personal boundaries had been maintained.

"You hate me so much that you'd rather risk harming yourself than..." Dexter's voice trailed off, his words tinged with confusion.

Angela froze for a moment, but she didn't respond. Her silence spoke for itself.

"As for Grandpa, I'll explain everything to him. Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again," Dexter said after waiting a while for her answer that never came. Then, he stood and left.

The spacious room quickly fell into silence.

Angela felt a faint sense of loss, but it didn't matter. She told herself there were plenty of fish in the sea; she didn't have anything to fear.
