Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 596 +25 BONUS "Yes , " I replied . " Your condition is not serious . Once this is applied , the pain will ease soon . " I nodded and raised the herbal paste to Anna's face . She still pulled back a little . After she leaned in , smelled it , and realized it carried no strange odor, the tight frown between her brows eased . " All right then . Give me the paste . Do I put it on like a face mask ? " she asked . I shook my head . " No. You need massage to make it work . I'll apply it for you . " If it worked like a simple mask , someone would have mass - produced it already .

Anna's brows tightened again the moment she heard I would touch her face . " You ? Touch my face ? " The words had barely left her lips when all her bodyguards stepped forward , eyes sharp as they glared at me . Anna had a serious cleanliness obsession . Forget letting me spread this earthy paste on her . She would reject another woman as well . She lived alone and spent her days working only with flawless gemstones , which explained why she had never taken a partner . " What are you doing ? " Emin stepped in front of me , eyes wide as he faced the group without fear .

The tension rising in the room startled Winston so much that he hurried between us to settle things . Please , both sides , calm down . We can discuss this . " By then , I had already frowned . Anna's stalling grated on my nerves . I had apologized and offered treatment . What else did she want ? 11 " Miss Shepard , I'll wait for you inside . Decide for yourself if you want the treatment . Your face must not feel good right now . " I left those words behind , carried the paste , and walked straight into the small rest room at the back of the shop . " You ! What kind of attitude is that ?

" Anna clearly did not expect Sebastian to walk off like that . Her face hurt . The inflamed patches throbbed and burned like fire . " I never said I don't want treatment . Why are you in such a rush ? " She wanted treatment . She simply could not decide if she could endure letting a strange man touch her face . But he did not give her time to think , which only made her more upset . Winston forced out a smile and offered her a way down the stairs . " Miss Shepard , please go in. A friend of Mr. Grimwald must be very skilled . We don't have a better solution right now .

" Only then did she nod and head toward the back with her bodyguards . ... The rest room behind the pharmacy was small . It used to be a storage room the staff cleaned for short breaks . A narrow bed took up most of the space , barely enough room for two people to stand . 1/2 Chapter 598 +25 BONUS I sat on the bed and had already taken up half the area . Once Anna stepped in , there was room for no one else . When I heard footsteps , I looked toward the door and saw her approaching with a cold face . And behind her , she had actually brought her bodyguards .

" Tell your big bodyguard boys to wait outside . If you want treatment , come in alone . It's broad daylight . What do you think I could do to you ? " My tone stayed calm , but she still looked conflicted . " You really have to treat me in this tiny place ? Can't you do it outside ?
