She fell into deep thought He had actually gone and fought with Dominick Judging by the severity of his injuries, the fight must have been brutal.
"Do you need my help?" she asked, noticing that he seemed to have wounds on his back as well.
"No" Oscar's curt refusal cwith an air of indifference. Despite being covered in injuries, he remained unfazed, his expression calm as if he didn't feel any pain at all "Why did you two start fighting?" With her gentle nature, she couldn't bear to see Oscar's handsome, pale face marred by bruises and blood; it pained her.

The night soon returned to stillness However, Molly didn't notice that the guest room door next to hers was slightly ajar, and inside, a woman was leaning against the wall, having heard their entire conversation.
He's back. He's really back, she thought.
