Kapitel 20: A Deal

It was already nighttime when Eve woke up. There was a warm cloth on her forehead. Her fever had already gone down.

'Where am I?'

She blinked several times, staring at the ceiling. She tried to sit up, her emerald eyes sweeping her surroundings.

Her heart sank as soon as she realized she was back at Lotus Pavilion. Wanting to find Annie, she hurriedly got off the bed but due to her weak body, she struggled to keep her balance, causing her to fall on the floor.

"Annie," she murmured in her hoarse voice as she began to sob.

Losing Annie was still a big shock to her. She felt like her world crumbled at the moment. She was used to seeing Annie standing by her side, smiling at her.

Thinking about her moments with her, the tears continued to flow like raindrops. She clutched her chest tightly as sobs wracked her body.
