Chapter 110 Keeping Her Around

Leo ran back and flung the door open. The first thing he saw was Elyse clutching her hand in pain, and shards of glass were scattered all over the ground.

Elyse sniffled, tears glistening in her eyes. “I was going to get a glass of water, and then the glass exploded in my face.”
