Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

In pain and uncertain of Zed's intentions, Jean stood in her corner and glared at the man. She suffered from a number of cuts and bruises but she wouldn't let Zed get anywhere near her.

However, Zed was not angry with her. He was torn by the mixed emotions coursing through him. He was furious at whoever had hurt her. But mostly, he was concerned for Jean.

Every time he saw a new injury, he felt like his whole heart was going to break.

Zed finally understood that he was not going to earn Jean's trust by forcing her. He thought about how he should handle the situation. After a little hesitation, Zed went to Jean's room to get a pair of pajamas for her.

Jean was in too much pain to notice that Zed had left the room.

She felt weak and dizzy and decided to sit on the couch. As Jean turned, she was surprised to see Zed standing in front of her. He stretched the pajamas toward her like a peace offering. Jean stood in a daze as Zed helped her wear the pajamas.

When he was done, Jean grabbed the pajamas as though it was her lifeline.

Zed squatted in front of her, said, "Babe, let me take a look, okay?"

His voice was so soft and comforting.

Jean felt something in her heart change and her whole body couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing this, Zed knew that Jean was softening even though she still felt some hesitance. The thought reassured Zed and he decided to soften his expression. He gave Jean a warm smile.

"Don't be afraid, you still have me in your life!"

Soothed by Zed's gentle persuasion, Jean finally let down her guard. She raised her head slowly.

Zed took a deep breath when he saw that tears had been trickling down her face.

He withheld his sadness and anger, and widened his smile.
