“Slap!” A crisp noise sounded as Dahlia’s hand landed heavily on Dustin Rhy’s face.
Due to the excessive force she applied behind the slap, the wounds on her hand that had just healed got torn open again, causing a stream of fresh blood to flow down her fingers.
Dustin touched the side of his face that burned from the slap and merely stood right where he was with a
