I can take responsibility for saving your life

"Your body is frail, and your skin is too. I had a hard time gently massaging your body, so I had to make a tub of warm water with herbs to rejuvenate your skin and allow me to resume."

*Sigh* Vincent gently shook his head. 

"I do not think you would ever be able to guess how many times I had to wash your body with warm water. " Vincent said as if he was washing troublesome clothes. 

The truth was different than what was possibly passing through Awa's mind. If she knew, she would be angry for various reasons. 

The reason? Vincent didn't think of Awa as a woman while trying to save her life. The more he tried to save the life of poor Awa, the more it felt similar to a chore that could prove emotionally rewarding in the end.

In fact, Vincent questioned if he should treat Awa like a person or like a corpse after a while of doing this. Her body was thin from starvation, and Vincent's fingers touched more bones than body fat.
