Aldana Candi said, "I'm not afraid of pain."
Liam Summer was slightly startled, lowering his head to look at Aldana Candi sitting on the bed.
She was an incredibly delicate and petite woman, with long hair falling down, her face carrying an air of classical Eastern softness, making her appear more tender than usual women, evoking a sudden sense of protectiveness.
