Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTarquin had been yanked away from Keith by a bunch of kids. Keith lay on the ground, battered and bruised, blood staining his face, his expression twisted in agony. Blossom was frantically dialing 911. Elysia, upon entering, was taken aback by the sight, her eyes nearly popping out of her sockets! Seeing Keith bleeding from his head, she rushed to his side, her voice filled with urgency, "Everything was fine just a moment ago, what happened?! Do you have a first aid kit? Blossom has one at her place! Blossom, go grab your first aid kit, I need to stop Keith's bleeding!" "Right away!" Blossom hurried off to fetch the kit. Elysia, with furrowed brows, examined Keith's wounds, her face etched with worry. Keith, despite the pain, responded with a gentle voice, "Don't worry, and don't be scared. I'm a grown man; these injuries are nothing." Speaking seemed to hurt him as he winced, clearly in pain from a wound in his mouth.
Elysia's brows were knitted tightly together. Keith's injuries were severe: a broken arm, a still-bleeding head wound that definitely needed stitches, and who knew what else inside his mouth! "I'm... really fine, don't worry," Keith managed to say, though his voice was weak.
Blossom returned with the first aid kit, and Elysia told him, "Don't talk, I need to stop the bleeding." She carefully opened the kit, took out alcohol wipes and cotton swabs, and gently started cleaning his wounds.
Tarquin watched her flurry of worried and tender actions, feeling a burning rage coupled with jealousy! He felt like he'd been submerged in a vat of vinegar! From the moment she walked in, she hadn't glanced at him, not even a flicker of attention! Her entire focus was on Keith! Tarquin stepped forward, grabbing Elysia's arm, "Stop fussing over him!" Elysia was startled, only then noticing Tarquin. Tarquin was unharmed but had blood on his hands! "Did you do this to Keith?" She was still piecing things together, having rushed in to see the injured Keith and, acting on instinct to help, hadn't noticed anything else. Tarquin's silence was admission enough for Elysia, who was shocked, "Why would you attack Keith?" "He had it coming!" Tarquin clenched his jaws, glaring at Keith fiercely. Elysia frowned, "I'll deal with you later." Putting aside the reason for their fight for the moment, and seeing Tarquin was unhurt, she tried to shake off his grip to continue tending to Keith.

Tarquin's anger soared, and without another word, he tried to drag her alone.
away, insisting she leave Keith alor insisted Elysia struggled, "Letgo! Keith's head is still bleeding; I need to take care of it!"
Tarquin snapped, "He deserves it! Leave him be!" Elysia, frustrated, shook off his grip with all her might, "If you want to leave, then go ahead, but don't tellwhat to do!" Regardless of Keith being their teacher or a stranger, she couldn't stand idly by and watch him bleed out without doing anything! Especially since Tarquin was the one who had caused the injuries, Keith's wellbeing was now his responsibility too!
Elysia returned to Keith's side, "This might hurt a bit, but I'll be as gentle as I can." "Don't on't worry about me!! can handle it, Keith assured her, casting a meaningful glance at Tarquin.
