The sound of bones cracking could be heard distinctly in the air.

But Dailey didn’t seem to have any intention of letting go. Instead, he gripped Merritt’s hand tighter and twisted it forcefully.

Merritt, struggling to keep silent, turned red in the face, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.

Dailey, on the other hand, even though his fingers were slightly twisted and his forearm bore scratches from Merritt, remained stoic. “This is none of your business,” he said coolly.

Nelly stepped forward, her voice laced with concern, “It’s swollen. Does it hurt a lot?”

While speaking, she took Dailey by the arm, “Let’s go over there. I’ll get some ice for that.”
