It was Iris, who had regained consciousness and was now sitting up against the boulders. Her voice was weak, but it was enough to make Bill pause.
"You don't have to do this," she said, her eyes locked on Bill's. "You've already won. Please don't hurt her, or else what will be the difference between you and her?"
Bill couldn't believe it. Iris had already fully recovered and was sitting upright. The patrol officer had told him that it would take around 1-2 hours for her to fully heal, but it had only been a couple of minutes.
When the patrol officer was about to leave after confirming that Iris would be alright, Bill knew that the leader wouldn't hesitate to strike them again. Just the sheer thought of her having no remorse or mercy towards Iris was making Bill sick in the stomach and making him very angry.
