It started like a crawl under her skin, then her eyes felt burning. It was a quick process but Li Lian could feel it slower than it happened in her mind. The anger simmered her blood and her eyes fell on her hands. She clenched her wrist, trying to stop herself from bursting out of anger.

Li Lian asked, her eyes that now stared back at Mrs. Xie were red and she stifled down the anger on her throat, pushing it back so she won't feel anything but numb.

"How can you guarantee you will keep your words?"
