Chapter 38 The Night Visit

• Zishan was acutely aware of Allacia's fear and her profound concern that the same danger might befall Deana. Though she had recently agreed to stay, her resolve seemed to waver, as she was now contemplating leaving once more.
• His eyes turned icy as he gazed at the maid bound in ropes at his feet. He approached her with deliberate steps, his expression hardening. He reached out and seized her chin with a steely grip, applying pressure until she winced in pain and a sharp cry escaped her lips.
• "Do you understand what pain feels like now? Can you fathom the agony Allacia would have endured if you had truly pushed her down?" His tone was cold and unyielding, causing the maid to tremble uncontrollably under the weight of his words.
