Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 267

Rafael watched Carissa’s careful and quick movements. She lowered her head, and he could see her slightly curled, thick eyelashes trembling gently.

A subtle emotion stirred in his heart–she rarely displayed such a gentle demeanor.

Looking at the two layers of bandages wrapped around his hand, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Isn’t it just a minor wound? It’s nothing seri

“How is it nothing serious?” Carissa looked up with wide eyes. “If it’s not treated properly, it could get infected. I’ve experienced it before. Look, let me show you my hand.”

She extended her hand, revealing a small scar on the back, about half the length of a finger. The scar was faint, just a trace of pink left behind.

“It got infected back then. It was only after my master treated it with medicine that it healed, but it left a scar. Your hands are so beautiful. If they were scarred, it wouldn’t look…well, as good.”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that when she had cleaned his wound earlier, his hands were already covered in many small scars.

Rafael’s expression relaxed, and he teased her, “What’s the point of a man having beautiful hands?”

Carissa replied earnestly, “It’s definitely better than having ugly ones.”

He smiled, his voice softening. “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I have plenty of scars on my body.”

“Those are all your battle honors,” Carissa said as she washed her hands, her face brightening with a smile. “I have my own battle honors too.”

“Are your wounds all healed?” he asked, concerned.

She had also been injured on the battlefield.

“They’re fine now. I’m proud of them,” Carissa said as she ordered someone to clear the items away and prepare some refreshments. “Invite Anthony and the others to join us for coffee.”

Pearl entered and said, “Mr. Carter has already invited them to the main hall for refreshments. They’ll be leaving shortly. Sebastian told them that Lord Ryan would be sleeping for a while, so they said they’ll return tomorrow instead of waiting here.”
