Kapitel 221: Trust

Laina felt a certain warmth feeling surround her, followed by a familiar voice calling out to her. When she opened her eyes again, she realized she was in her room in the palace. She looked up at the familiar ceiling of her canopy bed. 

She felt a cold chill on her hand. She turned to see Dante resting on her hand. She remembered the last words she said to him before she passed out. Laina reached out her hand and ruffled his hair. 

"I'm sorry," she whispered. 

Her dry throat sent her into a coughing fit when she tried to speak again. Her coughing fit stirred Dante awake. 

"Laina? Laina!" he was over the moon to see her awake. 

He quickly got her a glass of water to soothe her throat. Laina downed the entire glass in one seating. Dante caringly rubbed her back as she did. When she was done, Laina put down the glass on the side table.
