"Slap."
"It really hurt falling down, much more than being slapped by you." Xaviera Evans shook her hand: "I don't need you to take me to the infirmary, I'm afraid you might send me to hell halfway."
The stairwell fell silent.
Mag Evans covered her face belatedly, tears welling up: "Sister, why did you hit me?"
"Why did I hit you? Because you deserved it." Xaviera leaned close to her ear and spoke word by word: "You want to kill me? Do you have the guts?"
Mag's pupils shrank with panic: "Sister, what are you talking about? I...I wouldn't...I didn't know you would suddenly fall down the stairs, I was also panicked."
Tears rolled in her eyes, her aggrieved look so heartrending that even Moore Mamet felt sorry for her when he heard the noise and came over, gently supporting her and asking in a low voice.
