Watching as Samantha cried while calling out his name repeatedly, Finley felt his heart being in wrenching pain for some reason. He clearly didn’t know her before, yet he was heartbroken. Why?
He struggled to suppress the odd sensation within him and continued to gently apply medicine to Samantha, being extra careful this time to avoid causing her any more pain.
After tending to Samantha’s arm wound, Finley went to the bathroom, filled a basin with hot water, and applied a warm compress to Samantha. Then, he tenderly cleaned her wound.
Samantha had a dream where she envisioned scenes from her past life with Finley. At that time, she was still an idiot with the intelligence of an eight–year–old. There was an instance when she didn’t listen to Finley, ran down the mountain alone, and ended up injuring her fool
As darkness fell, Finley found her and saw her feet covered in injuries. She expected him to be angry, but he cradled her in his arms, treating her like a precious gem, reassuring her that he had come and she didn’t need to fear anymore.
Back then, she didn’t understand the tender emotion in Finley’s eyes. All she knew was that Finley’s embrace was warm. When they returned home, Finley prepared her favorite food, then squatted beside her, using a towel to soothe her feet. He asked if it hurt.
She remembered saying, “It won’t hurt if Finley blows on it.”
Then, he gently blew on her wound, even going as far as kissing the back of her foot without any aversion to the dirt.
Memories from her past life overlapped with her dream.
When Samantha woke up again, it was already the next morning. She thought her feet would be sore after walking for so long the evening before, but she felt no discomfort. Not only that, but her injured arm had been properly bandaged.
It’s Finley!
