I need you to heal her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured lightly to Seonhwa, who stood quietly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer’s eyes flicked to the young maid, looking at the bloond on her hands and the faint bruises along her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, my Lord. Please, bring her here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon guided Seonhwa toward one of the reclining chairs near the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat down slowly, still keeping her eyes lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer approached and raised her hands as a soft, pale-blue ether glow bloomed around her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won’t hurt...\" the healer said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the healer’s hands hovered over Seonhwa’s knuckles, a soothing warmth spread across her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cuts and swelling began to fade rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, the healer pulled her hands back, \"She’s fine now, Lord Herald. Only superficial injuries. She won’t have any lasting damage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon nodded faintly \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer bowed deeply \"It is an honor to serve you, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon then turned his attention to Seonhwa \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa’s gaze trembled \"Master... I-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t let her finish and extended his hand toward her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a moment, then placed her now-healed hand into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently pulled her to her feet, guiding her out of the infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked through the hallways again, Seonhwa’s gaze lingered on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to apologize and explain everything she felt but for some reason, the words stuck in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived back at Brandon’s private quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon opened the door and let her in first as she stepped inside quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon followed, closing the door behind them with a softclick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, neither of them spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon walked to the couch and sat down, leaning back slightly and patted the seat beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa swallowed softly and walked over before sitting down hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clasped her hands together in her lap and her eyes lowered in guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon turned his head toward her and muttered \"Why didn’t you tell me before that they are bullying you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa blinked and glanced up in surprise because she expected him to get angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t have to deal with them alone. If they insulted you, you should’ve come to me. I would’ve handled it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa bit her lip lightly \"I... didn’t want to trouble you. And... they insultedyou,Master. I couldn’t just... stay quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice wavered. \"I lost control. I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon’s gaze softened slightly upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and rested his hand gently on her head, his fingers brushing through her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to apologize. You were defending yourself. And me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa’s eyes widened faintly at the unexpected kindness in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But next time, don’t ruin your hands. Just tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, she simply stared at him, then lowered her head and nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked down at her clothes and muttered \"Now, go and clean yourself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up and reached to the bathroom in the door before entering in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa stepped into the private bathroom attached to Brandon’s quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled a long, shaky breath, finally allowing the tension to drain from her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For a moment... I thought he’d be angry,’ she thought, lowering her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reflection in the mirror showed her slightly flushed face, messy strands of hair sticking out in different directions, and dried spots of blood smeared across her maid uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a hand to her cheek, brushing a loose strand aside ’But... he wasn’t. He didn’t scold me at all. He just... took me here, healed me, and... was kind.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips trembled into a small, fragile smile ’Master really is... kind.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began to slowly untie her apron and peel off her stained clothes, carefully folding them and setting them aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping closer to the sink, she turned the faucet and let the water run cool over her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She washed the lingering traces of blood off her skin, watching the pinkish water swirl down the drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stepped into the shower area, letting the warm water cascade over her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle pressure soothed her tense muscles and washed away the guilt and adrenaline still clinging to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts drifted as the steam curled softly around her, her heart fluttering with a strange warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, she stepped out, wrapping a soft white towel around herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully dried her hair with another towel, running her fingers through it to untangle the strands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tightened the towel around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reached mid-thigh, leaving her bare shoulders and collarbone exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another faint sigh escaped her lips ’Alright... I should go back to him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the bathroom door carefully and stepped back into Brandon’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft glow of the evening light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden hue across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon was still sitting on the couch, one leg crossed, scrolling idly through his mobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard the quiet creak of the bathroom door, his gaze lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seonhwa stepped out, her damp hair clinging lightly to her neck with a faint trail of steam following her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin looked fresh, still glistening slightly from the shower, and the towel hugged her slender frame loosely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a second under his gaze, her fingers tightening slightly on the edge of the towel \"...Master, I’m done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon took a good look at her, she still has those old scars running on her body and even her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She is beautiful...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1888,"2026-05-30T03:52:04.456Z","2026-06-01T04:30:14.553Z",1,"novelbin.me","d53aa3ba1b491d47524b93da37c3d7ae1068e42f2037c06c6e0a514f05d3307c","getting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-chapter-233","getting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-chapter-231",523,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgetting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-cover.jpg"]
