Chapter 236 The Face She Was Born With

• Fire tears across Astrid’s face. Except there are no flames.
• There is nothing for her to extinguish or pull away from. The pain simply appears beneath her skin, spreading like something alive, burning deeper and deeper until her legs give out beneath her.
• She hits the floor hard, but barely feels it. Her hands reach instinctively for her face, desperate to understand what happened, but the moment her fingertips brush her cheek, another wave of agony rips through her so violently that she pulls away with a broken cry.
