Chapter 235

"Hey, you,"

Sophia was about to speak when out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the blood seeping through the bandage on her wrist. Her expression suddenly shifted, "Your hand."

Brandon glanced at his bleeding palm and locked his eyes on her, "You actually worried about me, Sophia?"

Sophia pressed her lips and looked away, silent.

Brandon tightened his grip on her palm suddenly, the force compelling her to look at him. The injustice of being coerced made her eyes well up with tears.

A flicker of softness passed through the calmness in Brandon's eyes, but it was fleeting. When he gripped her hand again, he leaned in and kissed her fiercely.

Sophia was startled at first, instinctively struggling. But the more she fought, the tighter Brandon held her, and the more ruthless the kiss became.

Her lips were chafed raw, his tongue invading forcefully and brutally. The sticky wetness seeped through the bandage and onto her wrist.

Sophia's struggle turned into hesitation and conflict.

Brandon felt her hesitation, and the assertiveness in his kiss gradually softened. The familiar tenderness made Sophia's heart ache, her resistance unwittingly fading, tears sliding down her cheeks.

Brandon's actions also slowed to a stop.

"I'm sorry," he apologized in a hoarse whisper, not letting go of her.

Sophia stayed quiet, just turning her head slightly, tears still swirling in her eyes. Brandon was silent for a long while too.

Eventually, without a word, he sat up.

The bandage on his palm was now stained red with blood from the reopened wound. He looked at it, then abruptly tore off the bandage and tossed it into the trash.

Sophia glanced at the still-bleeding cut on his palm, now beginning to clot, and then turned her head away, silent.
