In a swift reaction, Hadley swung her arm, delivering a slap across Astrid’s face.

“Ouch…” Astrid’s cry echoed as she fell, her face striking the pavement hard, causing her nose to bleed. Dabbing at her face, Astrid saw the blood, and her rage intensified.

With a concerned furrow between his brows, Eric looked intently at the injury on her forehead.

“Are you okay?” he asked, pulling out a tissue to dab at the blood. Hadley turned her head away, maintaining her silence and showing clear resistance.

“Hadley?” Pain was evident in Eric’s voice. “Your forehead’s bleeding. You might get blood in your eyes. Let me assist.”

“No need…” Hadley muttered, adamantly avoiding his gaze.
