For a moment, Addison just stared at me like she didn't even recognize who I was anymore. And honestly, how could she?
The Helcia she knew was soft, gentle, and never dared to talk back—but I, the current Helcia, had a completely different personality.
Addison probably never imagined that there would come a day when she would be the one getting kicked instead of doing the kicking.
"Madam!" The bodyguards who had been waiting outside rushed in, shoving Lando aside so they could help her.
"You can't touch her yet." I stepped in front of them, blocking their way with my leg. "She needs to be checked by the doctors first. I mean… she was walking just fine earlier."
Yes, I had kicked her earlier. But honestly? I didn't even use half my strength. Maybe Addison was simply too old to handle one kick.
