She was about to push the old lady away from her with her free hand before Xiao Tianyao caught her right hand and stopped her.
"Stay still." He said flatly.
"But it hurts!" Senja retorted and peeked at her hand again. As she saw blood dripping from it, Senja screamed again.
"It's bleeding!!!"
She tried to wriggle free her hand from Xiao Tianyao's grip to no avail.
"Young Miss Senja, please endure it a little more." The old lady pleaded.
"My child, it will be fine." Elder Dam consoled her.
"But this hurts and my hand is still bleeding." Senja protested.
"The pain will decrease after this…" Elder Dam persuaded her.
"Don't move your hand or it will hurt more." Xiao Tianyao added while still holding her hand to prevent her from shoving the old lady.
"What is this!?" Senja demanded an answer in distress.
"Grandfather will explain it later." Elder Dam said in coaxing tone.
The process lasted for five minutes, but Senja felt like eternity.
