She had wasted her wrkle at the started the run but was determined to firash the entire 24/7) feet. By the end, her ankle was so swollen that it

was barely recognizable

Hansel took her to the hospital, where the doctor scolded her for being reckless and nearly damaging her bone. Despite the harsh words, Miranda didn’t make a sound, though her eyes were slightly red.

Hansel called her foolish for not stopping when she got hurt.

But Miranda shot back, “I wouldn’t have graduated if I failed, so I just pushed through it. Besides, I’m already hurting a lot. Why are you still lecturing me?”

“Dear?” Noticing Hansel’s long silence, Ingrid propped herself up and shook his arm. “What’s on your mind?”

“What did you say?” Hansel snapped out of his reverie and glanced

down at her.

“I’ve heard that even the best treatments might not fully prevent scarring. Will my leg look unsightly from now on?”

The thought of having two fang marks on her leg was driving her up the

wall.

A fleeting emotion crossed Hansel’s eyes. He gently ran his fingers

After a long pause, he finally said, “Thanks. I would have been bitten by that snake if it weren’t for you. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do everything I can to make it happen.”

“You don’t need to thank me,” Ingrid said, tilting her he up in his arms. Her eyes were full of sincerity as he looked at him. It was as if he were her whole world.

“I did it because I wanted to,” she continued. “I know you still have feelings for Miranda, and that’s okay. I don’t mind. I believe that one day, you’ll love me with all your heart. You’ll protect Miranda, and I’ll be here to protect you.”
