Fiona stayed there for a long time until she heard footsteps, not caring or bothering to look up and check who it was until she was pulled to her feet.
Unable to raise her head even when she heard William's voice and heard him speak to her.
"Are you okay? What about the child?" he asked, using more force to force her head up when, even after he spoke, Fiona refused to look at him, only to freeze as he came face to face with the scars on her body.
Terrible enough to make him do a double take, even as tears continued to slide down her face.
William had barely recovered from the shock when his hands tightened into fists as rage filled his eyes.
He was pissed and angry, and the more he stared at Fiona's face, the angrier he felt, unable to understand why Eldric would do such a thing.
Fiona, on the other hand, simply kept on crying and lowering her face, unwilling to look up and allow anyone to see the ugliness she had seen, least of all William.
