No Mercy, No Forgiveness

Seeing his hand approach, Maureen instinctively flinched, thinking he meant to strike her.

The ointment landed squarely on Sean’s knuckles.

“Sorry.”

Maureen stood up. “I’ll leave now.”

Realizing her misunderstanding, Sean explained, “I was just trying to help with the ointment.”

“Thanks, but no need.”

Maureen moved toward the door.

Not wanting further misunderstanding, Sean blocked her path.

“Geoffrey said you should wait for him here.”

She looked at him, her eyes cold. “I’ll wait outside.”

Watching her like this twisted something in Sean’s chest.

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you again.”

Don’t be afraid?

Won’t hurt me again?

It sounded like the biggest joke. He’d said those exact words before to lower her guard.

“Could you please step aside?”

Whether he’d hurt her or not, she refused to engage with him.

Sean remained planted at the doorway.. “Apply the ointment first. Then go.”

Uncertain of his motives but wary of his volatile temper, Maureen decided to comply–better not provoke him.

“Don’t be so reckless next time. Jumping from a moving car?

You’re lucky it’s just minor injuries.”

Sean looked at her with concern.

Maureen remained silent.

She’d seen through Sean’s unpredictable moods long ago.

She quickly applied the ointment. “Mr. Robson, I’m done. May I leave now?”

Meeting the woman’s clear yet distant gaze, Sean’s heart clenched painfully.
