NovelEnglishChapter 642 I actually did not plan on avoiding him. I knew we would see each other again one day when I left Salt City. I had even decided that I would calmly face him when that day came.
I went downstairs and found myself a place to sit. I rolled up my pants to check my knees and as expected, there were big bruises. They looked swollen too. No wonder the pain did not subside.
