The man stripped her down to her undergarments before wiping her down with a hot towel. As he did so, he asked, “Did anyone else touch you while I'm away?”

“Huh?” Francesca was momentarily taken aback. When realization dawned upon her, she promptly saw red. “You're such a b*stard, Danrique!”

While she spoke, she tried shoving him away. “Buzz off! Don't touch me!”

Danrique grabbed her hand, so she wanted to shake him off. Amidst their scuffle, one of them accidentally touched her wound. At once, such excruciating agony flooded her that she broke out in a cold sweat. Even her face drained of all color.
