Chapter 10 Menu She hurried to Mitchell's room . The evening sky had darkened , and a man was sitting on the balcony . The dim light illuminated his slender figure . His lean silhouette was refined but tinged with quiet melancholy . " Mitchell ! " Noelle's long - dormant heart leapt to life , pounding fiercely . The man froze , then whipped around . " Noe ?! " Noelle rushed inside , her steps light , ready to throw her arms around him . But then she saw the wheelchair beneath him . " Mitchell , what happened ? " she gasped . Mitchell casually draped a thin blanket over his withered , misshapen legs . A faint smile lit his pale , handsome face . " Noe , welcome home . " They were twins ; Mitchell , born five minutes earlier , was her older brother . He was the only one in the family who had ever truly cared about her . So , even though Noelle had cut ties with everyone else , she still considered Mitchell her brother . Her voice cracked . " Mitchell , your legs ... " " It's nothing . Just a car accident . Don't worry , I'm fine now , " he said with a gentle smile , deftly changing the subject . " But you - you've lost so much weight . Did someone mistreat you at the sanatorium ?

" The doctor says it depends , " Mitchell replied softly . " Mitchell , I'll find a way to heal your legs . I promise , " Noelle said , her voice fierce with determination . A tender smile curved Mitchell's lips . He raised a hand to pat her back but froze when he saw the red marks on her pale neck . His smile vanished . " Now , what happened to your neck ? " Noelle instinctively moved to cover it . It was a habit she had developed in the sanatorium . Sometimes , the doctors and the orderlies would get rough and leave marks on them . If anyone with a mark was caught not covering it , the punishment would be terrible . Mitchell grabbed her wrist , his gentle voice now edged with ice . Did those people at the sanatorium do this ? " Noelle sighed , about to explain , when a scornful laugh cut through the air behind her .
