Hellbound With You novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787: Warmer

Zeres looked at her in disbelief, obviously never expecting this petite, gentle and caring creature to say something so vindictive like that, that he had ended up standing stock still, staring unbelievably at her, completely shocked.

She propped herself up once again and when Zeres attempted to stop her, Iryz quickly protested. "No, please let me sit. I need to get up. I'm tired of just lying down the whole time."

"But " Zeres was worried that if she sat up, she might pull on her wounds and reopen some of them.

"I don't feel any pain." She reassured him but the way his face was looking seemed as though he was having a hard time believing her. "It's true. I don't know why, but maybe the doctors gave me a lot of pain killers for me not to feel the pain?" she said and shrugged her shoulders lightly.

"Are you... telling me the truth?" Zeres was quite sceptical at her claims. The girl was only recently out of the emergency room not too long ago.

Iryz did not respond and just meet his gaze seriously, making him understand that she was not lying.

He seemed to get it and somewhat reluctantly let go of her shoulders.

The next thing he did was to grab his phone and dialled a number. Iryz cocked her head as she wondered who he was calling at this point.

"She said she's not feeling any pain right now. Is that normal?" Zeres asked over the phone as Iryz surveyed herself. Her ears were focused on Zeres' call though. Was he speaking to a doctor? He even had a doctor on call?! How resourceful was this guy?! She really had to hand it to him.

After a long while of listening to the person on the other side of the line talking, she heard him sigh out before saymg, "I see. I understand. That must be it." before ending the call.

"What did the doctor say? I am assuming it was a doctor you were talking to? Did they give me painkillers?" Iryz questioned him. She was trying her best not to pity herself after seeing all her awful wounds that will definitely leave scars. She was also trying her hardest not to think about how she looked like right now, knowing that that monster did not spare her face when he had whipped her. This realization made her not to look at him anymore and just let her hair fall to the sides of her face. She did not want him to keep seeing how horrible she must look right now.

"No. The doctor said it must be the spell on you."

"Hmm... I see. Wait... what?!" she whipped her head towards him, momentarily forgetting about her face. But she held onto her long hair and covered her lower face with it.

Her action made Zeres' brows crease a little, but he did not comment anything about it.

"There's a powerful spell that was casted on you by a powerful witch. I believe it must be Calliste or Diana's magic. The magic has protected you and now it's even helping to cure your wounds much faster than a normal human's would." He explained and despite Iryz being already quite familiar with witches' abilities, she still felt so amazed and surprised.

She could hardly believe it. She had a protective spell on her?!

"R-really? Oh my, that's... crazy amazing!" she could not even stop herself from exclaiming these words. "Will it also help make the scars disappear

She suddenly stopped and she looked away from him, a bit ashamed at the last part that she had inadvertently blurted out.
