Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2212

"Belle, how are you feeling?" Mikayla asked with concern as they stood on the runway.

Tears welled in Isabelle's eyes. "Mikayla, it hurts. Grandpa always said I wouldn't feel pain anymore, but why does it hurt so much this time?"

Mikayla's face darkened because she did not know the answer either.

Isabelle's Awakened Reaper's Wrath had already reached minor mastery, and ordinary injuries never made her feel anything. Yet, the wound Andrew left made her scream in agony, which meant his strike was far from ordinary.

"Belle, hang in there. I'll apply some medicine when we get back," Mikayla comforted her while helping her to her feet.

She added, "Mr. Robertson Senior will be furious when he finds out you were hurt like this."

Thinking of Andrew's cold indifference as he left, Mikayla gritted her teeth. Her intention was obvious. She hoped the Robertson family patriarch, Vernon Robertson, a true martial emperor, would step in.

However, Isabelle's response caught her completely off guard. "Mikayla, I won't tell Grandpa. Even if Grandpa wants to intervene, I won't allow it."

Mikayla was shocked. "Why not? Belle, you're one of the three prodigies of the Robertson family. You can't let yourself be humiliated like this."

Isabelle shook her head. "It's not humiliation. I just wasn't skilled enough. Besides, at the last moment, I could tell Andrew held back against me. It's ridiculous that despite wanting to kill him, when I couldn't beat him, he still went easy on me in the end.

"Mikayla, I really hate this feeling. It makes me despise myself. If Andrew had killed me with one strike, I would have felt better about it."

Mikayla remained speechless for a long moment. Isabelle's thought process was beyond most people's comprehension. Even she could not understand it half the time.
