Alicia listened to him and obeyed without hesitation. She let go of her lip and he pulled her against him, immediately trapping her lower lip gently between his teeth. He then ran his tongue over her abused lower lip a couple of times before stopping to stare deeply into her eyes.

The sudden contact quickly sent sparks shooting through her, igniting the fire that was already smouldering within her in the blink of an eye. She knew that she could not do anything for him. The poison had already spread out. The antidote the witches had managed to develop was useless now even if she went out and searched for the herb that might not even exist in this area. If this poison had turned the skin completely violet, then that was the certain indication that the victim was considered beyond help. It was already hopeless.

No witch had survived the poison after reaching this stage. She knew that he was telling the truth. This poison would not be enough to kill a man like him. But the extreme pain that he would need to withstand… it would still last for few more hours. And she could not even do anything about it.

Suddenly, he pulled away from her. "Are you cry…" he asked before trailing off when his eyes widened at the moment that he saw the shimmer of unshed tears in her eyes.

He grabbed her face gently with both his hands. His voice came out quite frantic. "Don't tell me… are you feeling my physical pain too?!"

Alicia quickly shook her head at the sight of the horror reflected in his eyes.

"No, no… I'm not. I don't feel anything. Don't worry." she told him swiftly and his breath came out sharp as a blade. His shoulder sagged in relief before his gaze returned to her face and stared at her with concern and confusion.

"Then… Why were you…" he paused, his facial muscles clenching as his thumb gently swept an arc below her eyes.

"Because I know how painful it is. I've experienced that poison once before, and it was… truly unbearable. I didn't even reach the stage you're at right now because I got saved by an antidote before it was too late. I can't even imagine how painful…" a silent teardrop fell from the corner of her eyes, and he went very still. "You've taken the poison for me… and I can't even do anything for you. I'm so useless…" Alicia was not one to belittle or put herself down, but this time, she really meant what she said. Her heart ached to see Ezekiel in this condition.

His throat worked before his tight and controlled voice came out. "You're tearing up like this just because you feel bad you can't do anything for me…??" he sounded as though he could hardly believe it. "Are you going to feel better and stop crying if there's something you can do for me then?"
