Crystal's POV:

Rufus didn't release me until I calmed down. He touched my arms with his fingers, which were covered in blood.

That was when I realized how badly I'd hurt myself when I lost control just now.

I frowned and dropped my gaze to the floor. "Summer is almost here. I want to wear beautiful dresses."

Rufus rolled his eyes at me, turned around, and retrieved a box of ointment from the cabinet. "You ran faster than a rabbit just now. I was nearly scared to death. I've told you to tell me beforehand if anything is happening to you. Why do you always try to hide your emotions from me?"

Looking at his dark expression, I coyly replied, "I didn't have a choice. That emotion overwhelmed me out of the blue and I couldn't control it at all."

Rufus scoffed and positioned my arms on his lap so that he could apply the ointment.

The icy medicine alleviated my pain.

I tilted my head and watched Rufus, who was carefully applying the ointment. "Are you mad at me?"

"Why should I be mad at you? You just told me that you couldn't control your emotion. If I really want to be angry, I will direct my fury at Noreen. This is all her fault. When I capture her, I will make her suffer a fate worse than death," Rufus said in a dark voice as he scowled.

I discretely stuck my tongue out at him, knowing that he was absolutely infuriated.
