Kapitel 345: Not Like This

The intrusion of a sudden presence surprised both of the women. The familiar aura of the person jolted them onto their feet. 

"Marius? Marius!" Margaret gasped in shock as she went over to confirm her suspicions. 

He was covered in wounds and bruises, with blood trickling down his lips. 

"Who... who did this to you?!" Margaret cries as she cupped his face. 

Laina was stunned. Thorne, who had been hiding in the shadows came forward upon seeing Marius. He looked down at him, shocked by the condition he was in. Laina hovered her hands over Marius, ready to use a healing spell. 

"No, Laina. Conserve your energy," Margaret stopped her, "Let me do it,"

"I'll help," Thorne volunteered. 

With their combined strength, they were able to stop the bleeding. Marius slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he caught sight of Laina, he grabbed hold of her wrist.
