MainNovelChapter 1625:
“Take it.”
“No.”
“You're more stubborn than my brother,” Nina muttered, trying her best to reason with him. “You've got to take
better care of yourself.”
The boy’s eyes flickered faintly. He was supposed to take better care of himself? He just couldn't. Before one
bruise had a chance to fade, another would already be there.
At that rate, maybe it was easier to just stay in pain.
“If you don’t say anything, I'll take that as a yes.” Nina placed the ointment into his hand.
Without thinking, he pushed it back toward her.
It was that simple movement that sent Nina tumbling to the ground.
She winced, her elbow smacking the ground, and as the sting spread, her eyes welled up with tears. In seconds,
she burst into sobs.
Guilt twisted in the boy’s chest.
“Are you okay?” he asked awkwardly, still standing there, unsure.
Nina’s tears streamed down, her voice breaking. “It hurts.”
He helped her up, his face unchanged, but something inside him shifted. “Sorry,” he muttered.
Nina wiped at her tears and stood up. “I don’t want your apology.” The boy lifted his gaze toward her.
“Play a gwith me. If you can make it to the end, I'll forgive you.” Nina laid out her terms in all sincerity. “If

“Okay,” the boy agreed.
“We're playing Statue. You sit still like a statue and don’t move for a set time. If you can stay still for fifteen
minutes, you win,” Nina explained the rules plainly.

“Okay,” he said again.
To him, it wasn't complicated.
She had cried so hard earlier... he just wanted to see her smile.
“One, two, three,” Nina counted. “Statues!”
As soon as the words left her lips, the boy sat down and held his pose, not even flinching.

Jesse stepped out from where he'd been waiting in the shadows.
The boy didn’t think much of it, assuming they were just trying harder to make him lose.
But then Nina said something that made him freeze.
