It take her a long time to calm down and I let go of her to wipe her tears away, "Let's go to the clinic now, hmm?"

All her bruise can't be heal nicely by just a simple clean up and putting on a bandage, she really need to go to the clinic at least.

She nodded her head lightly; if it's possible, I would rather take her to the hospital instead but I don't want to catch too much of attention, "Oh my gosh," Even the nurse of the clinic is surprise at how she look like now, "Who did this to her?" The nurse quickly went out to get medicine and stuff needed to clean her up as I follow her, "Her sister." I helped her as she placed everything on the trolley, "But please don't let anyone know about this. She doesn't want to cause any problem." I stated and she nodded; luckily is still early now that no one came to the clinic except for this nurse.

I just brought Ice to the clinic I have been going when I get sick or something, "Poor girl," She sighed deeply as she looked at her face; until now, my heart is still in pain, "Can you wait at the other room? I guess she have bruise on her body too." She said as Ice bite her lips while staring at her hand without a word; I nodded to her, "Alright." But I crouched down in front of her as I hold her hand and she looked at me, "Don't be afraid, she will help you okay?" Ice nodded her head as I stand up and hugged her for awhile before heading to the room next door as I waited.
I massaged my temples before leaning my head on the wall; I really can't imagine how long did this happen.

Did her sister came right after I left to Korea? Or last week when she didn't pick up my call anymore?

I thought about something as I took my phone to call the real estate agency; I'm gonna sell that house. Ice can't stay there anymore since she said her sister took her keys when we try to look for it just now.

I think she and I need to change our phone number too; she answered Ice's phone yesterday, just to be safe, I better change it.

I heard a knock on the door as I open it, "It's all done." The nurse informed and I sighed, "Is it really bad?" I asked and she hesitantly nodded her head, "She can't take shower," She stated as she held out a hand to touch my back, "She has a deep scar here," I coughed out in shock as I widened my eyes, "W-What?" The nurse sighed, "Help her with the medicine." How did she endure it? Let alone a week, even a minute is hard to endure, "Her sister is really a sinner." She shake her head before motioning me to follow her as she packed the ointment and stuff for her which is enough for a week, "Bring her here immediately if it didn't get better okay?" I nodded my head before heading to the room where she's still sitting there with all her arm and leg wrapped with white bandage; I really hate seeing her with bandages.

And I hate seeing her getting hurt the most, either physically or mentally.

She didn't stop me when I lifted her shirt up to see her back; there's a big plaster there which blood had start staining on it as I cringed.

I don't even get shy when I'm looking at her body because I can obviously see many old scars across her back.

Tell me, will I get shy when I'm looking at those? I really don't.

I put her shirt down before grabbing her coat and let her wear it; she has a few plaster across her face and really, it hurt me so much to see her like this. Even the corner of her lips is bleeding before this.

I gently held her face as our forehead touches, "I'm sorry," I felt that this is my fault that I wasn't able to protect her on my own; her eyes water again as my thumb caresses her cheeks lightly before I move away and wore the mask and cap for her.

I wear it too before holding her hand as we left the clinic to the bus stop.

I don't have a car here so we need to take the bus; I wrapped an arm around her shoulder protectively as she lie her head on my shoulder, "You are moving out this weekend." I said when I was cooking something for her to eat as she's just sitting at the kitchen counter looking at me, "Just in case she comes back." Only if Ice didn't stop me from calling the police just now, or else I wouldn't have decide to let her move out from this house, "And you are following me wherever I go." I turn around to look at her and she just stared, "I'm informing, not asking." I said in a dead serious tone and she nodded her head lightly; I can't let this mistake happen twice. She's never going to leave my side anymore.
