Stuart saw Edie lying on the floor looking so peaceful. He stood over her looking at her tiny body while she slept. Stuart sighed almost helplessly. He didn't know what to do with her.
He reached out and gently lifted Edie to her room. Stuart's strength was gentle, but as soon as his arm touched her back, she frowned as she slept. Keenly aware of her changes, he moved his arms up to her shoulders and avoided her back, and she slowly relieved her wrinkled face.
Stuart took Edie straight to her room, laid her gently on the bed, and took off her dress. Then he found that her shining back had bruises all over it. No wonder she frowned when he touched her back just now.
He recalled when he arrived at the warehouse. She had been pushed onto the metal shelves by Donald, which must have hit her back. Stuart's eyes were full of pain.
