The red mark on Verena must have been caused by excessive or forceful rubbing.
Her skin was bright red as if blood were rushing to the surface.
“Verena! What were you doing in the bathroom just now? Why is your arm so red? And your face, your neck—
why are they so flushed?” Ryan's voice carried both concern and frustration as he looked at Verena.
“Ryan, letgo... Let go!” Verena didn’t answer his questions, struggling instead to free herself from his grasp.
Ryan, instead of releasing her, tightened his hold and said, “Tell me, what were you doing in the bathroom for so
long?”
“Let go! Don’t touch me! Ahh—" Verena screamed and forcefully pushed Ryan away.

She then frantically rubbed at the places he had just touched with her sleeve.
Her reaction was extrand panicked.
Ryan, taken aback by her violent response, stumbled back several steps before steadying himself.
“Verena, what's wrong with you?” he asked, frowning deeply, his concern evident.

Lucas remained silent.
Verena suddenly turned and headed back toward the bathroom.

Her arm soon becred and slightly swollen.
“Verena, stop! It’s already clean!” Ryan urged her with concern.
He considered turning off the faucet himself but hesitated, fearful she might reject his approach once more.
After a while, Lucas walked over and turned off the faucet.
“That's enough,” he said in a subdued tone.
Verena looked up at Lucas, her eyes reddened as she fought back tears. “It’s still so dirty...”
“You've washed enough. It’s clean now. Go back to bed,” Lucas said firmly, his deep voice resonating with
authority.
Biting her lip, Verena nodded slowly and returned to her bed after a few seconds.
Throughout the ordeal, Ryan maintained a careful distance from Verena.
