Hold my hand

" Miss Ginny, would you please raise your feet? I need to apply the medicine." Akris didn't respond to the nasty whispers that Cassius has spouted in his ears, he simply pretended as if he couldn't care less about what the other person was thinking. However, his hard-as-stone profile started to tremble the second Ginny clutched her skirt and slid it over her calves. He shouldn't have reacted at the sight of her exposed skin but Akris felt his eyes quiver as he looked at the pearly white skin that was splattered with the drops of red, it was a sight that evoked his sympathy, he never believed that he was capable of mustering an emotion like that for someone other than Alexis. 

Clearing his throat, he got on his knee and slightly raised his head to look at Ginny before saying in a low voice, "It's going to hurt, please bear it for a while."
