Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 44

Chapter 44When Kevin opened the bathroom door, he saw Norah sitting in the bathtub, scrubbing her skin harshly in silence, as if afraid he might hear her.

“Norah, stop!”

Kevin rushed over, gently grabbing her hands to prevent her from hurting herself.

Norah’s eyes were red. When Kevin touched her, she pulled away, struggling. “Don’t touch me. I’m dirty…”

“You’re not dirty.” Kevin whispered, holding her gently to stop her from causing more harm. “You’re not dirty.”

Norah couldn’t shake the memory of being pinned down. The thought made her feel sick. Kevin’s touch only made her feel more unclean. She shook her head, saying, “Don’t comfort me. I know I’m dirty. Even I feel disgusting.”

Norah kept scrubbing her raw skin.
