Just as Landon Hawthorne was applying medicine to the burn on Aria Sterling's palm, she suddenly woke up.
The instant she opened her eyes, a reddish light swirled within them.
Gone in an instant.
Landon Hawthorne didn't notice Aria Sterling was awake. He was still carefully dabbing medicine onto the broken blister in her palm with a cotton swab.
Although Aria Sterling was awake, her body felt sore and weak, devoid of strength.
She turned her head and saw Landon Hawthorne.
The man was so focused on applying the medicine, his cautious movements showing how afraid he was of hurting her.
The sight made Aria Sterling's lips curve into an involuntary smile.
It was Adrian Rhodes, who had just entered with food, who saw Aria Sterling's open eyes. He hurried over. "Miss Sterling, you're awake! I just brought some food…"
Only then did Landon Hawthorne look up. Seeing Aria Sterling's eyes truly open, he looked astonished. "When did you wake up?"
"About ten minutes ago."
