The Heart of the Bionic Man

7

I didn't know if love was a human privilege, but it was clear that breaking the law was not the bionic men's privilege.

The heavy shackles left squeezed red marks on my skin when I tried to lift my feet. Silence fell again after the shackles clanged.

The shackles were above my ankles, with a small gap between them and my skin. My skin was slightly red and broken.

"It hurts," I groaned in a low voice.

I didn't pretend to be in pain and the hard and cold shackles indeed hurt my ankles a lot.

Aaron apologized to me and untied the shackles after a brief pause. He then took a small first-aid kit from the next room. I didn't think it was necessary.

He also brought back a pair of electronic shackles. They were light and small, which could monitor my location at any time.

He knelt and gently applied ointment to my wound. The ointment was cool and gradually melted due to the temperature of his fingers.

The room was so quiet that I could hear the chirps of birds clearly.
