Chapitre 603: 603. Nothing's Wrong

Her heart squeezed at this and she could already feel the disappointment even before he gave his reply.

"There is nothing wrong," he said, his smile holding in place even as he spoke. "Things have just been a little busy is all. I want you to concentrate on getting better."

Mauve nodded, his words were so expected she could have recited them with him. As much as she hated it, she didn't press.

She returned his smile, hoping that at least hers reached her eyes. "I understand, I will do what I need to do."

His smile brightened and the corner of his eyes wrinkled as it matched his smile. She almost laughed at this. She would take consolation in the fact that her health was more important to him than anything else.
