"Lissy Lock felt a burning sensation spread from her ankle all the way up to her face, making her want to retract her foot. "Er... Mr., Mr. Smith, I... I can do it myself."
Walter Smith didn't reply.
Lissy looked up at Kai Piers for help.
Kai Piers shrugged in a helpless manner. Just as he was about to glance towards John Fame's direction to give Lissy a hint, she had already lowered her head once again and was watching Walter.
Kai Piers helplessly rubbed his temples, "Lissy, Lissy, I can't be blamed for this. Don't say later on that I didn't warn you."
"Mr. ...Walter Smith, please get up. I..."
Before Lissy could finish, she suddenly felt her foot being lifted gently. The spot on her ankle that Walter Smith had been holding onto was cool.
"It's done." Walter Smith stood up, looked at her shoes, and stated calmly.
Lissy Lock lowered her head, slightly raised her foot, and solidly stood on the clean floor.
"Thank...you," she whispered, "Thank you..."
