CHAPTER 128

"You were asleep?"

"Hmm," she nodded, half dizzily and rested her head against his shoulder. "I'm tired, Zale."

"This was why I told you to stay back and rest but no. You would rather not pay heed to my warnings and look, you hurt yourself."

He held her left hand and turned it inside out to see her injury. His face fell. Until how long did she plan to injure herself for him?

"If you wish to scold me for this, do not bother. I have no regrets." she yanked her hand back from his and pressed it against her chest.

"Do not be silly, Pearl. Look at me," Zale admonished. "Even if I am angry at you, I am thankful as well but I am not happy."

"All the same. I do not wish to talk to you if you are this way." She pressed her face against his shoulder and buried her head there.

"You are too stubborn."

"Thank you."

"And frustrating."

"I know."
