Chapter 71: "As if We're Lovers"

Ivory woke up two hours after, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. She sat up, "What… happened?"

Sigmund was by the window, and when his Master had awakened, he approached her and sat beside her on the bed, "We're at a nearby inn."

"Why was I sleeping?" She asked him curiously, but he only chuckled, "Sigmund, why are you laughing?"

"You… you slapped Katie in front of a crowd."

"I… WHAT?!" Ivory was shocked to hear this from him. "I have no guts to do that! You've got to be kidding me!" she jokingly hit Sigmund's arm.

"I am not kidding. You really did slap her," he explained. "How much do you remember?"

"When the souvenir shattered on the floor…" she suddenly teared up and wept, "I just wanted to see her smile… It's been so long… I really missed her, but she…"

"Hey, you birdbrain, don't waste your tears for that rude woman!" he pulled her towards him, and let her cry on his shoulder.
