Mabel Quinn was taken aback. Could it be that he had a nightmare? Did he dream about when his mother used to beat him?
Without thinking further, Mabel Quinn got up to fetch an ice pack.
But when she returned to the bedside, she found that the person who was supposed to be lying on the bed was now crouching in a corner of it, his dark phoenix eyes staring directly at her, as if on guard against something. This suddenly reminded Mabel of the stray cats she had seen around her home before, sometimes alertly watching humans as they passed by.
Oh my, what was she thinking, actually linking Kyle Kinston to stray cats? Mabel Quinn mocked herself for overthinking. She approached the bed and was about to speak, but Kyle Kinston spoke first, "Don't come any closer! Don't... don't hit me!"
The ice pack in Mabel Quinn's hand nearly flew out. Were these words that Kyle Kinston would say? Moreover, she hadn't intended to hit him!
