Although she found his protectiveness somewhat overbearing, it also touched her deeply. 'Isn't it all because he cares about me? Why should I let the opinions of others dampen the spirits of someone who cares for me?' she thought.

With this thought, she comfortably leaned against his chest, letting him take care of her. Zach, feeling her compliance, gently kissed the top of her head.

Back in the room, he insisted she remove her top so he could apply medicine, as she had only partially disrobed for the doctor's examination.

As she took off her shirt, he saw the full extent of her bruises, particularly the alarming purple-red marks across her chest, distinct from the marks left by his kisses. This sight terrified him.

His jaw was tightened further. Frowning, he carefully applied the ointment, while Elvira, despite her efforts to endure the pain, trembled from the sensitivity of her injuries.

Zach's fingers also trembled as he gently massaged the ointment on her chest, careful to apply only the lightest pressure to help absorption.

For both, it was a trying moment. Finally finishing, Elvira let out a sigh of relief. Zach, looking at her chest, felt no desire, only a profound sense of protectiveness. Quickly dressing up, Elvira was helped by him, who put down the ointment and meticulously fastened her buttons before pulling her into his embrace.

"How do you want to punish those who hurt you?" he held her close, his eyes filled with lethal intent, ready to obliterate her deceitful stepmother at a word from her.

"I want... to see her watch everything she cares about destroyed, to see her despair, I want her to wish she was dead!" she shared her darkest desires, closing her eyes in fear afterward, worried that such vindictiveness might make him see her as monstrous, possibly driving him away or even making him loathe her.

She braced for his judgment with her eyes closed, ready to accept whatever that was about to come.
