Bab 291: Shocked

As the night waned, the morning sun from the artificial sky gradually painted the augmented reality sky with hues of dawn. In the soft light of the new day, Penthesilea lay soundly asleep, covered only by a blanket, beside Daniel. The aftermath of their intense connection from the previous night lingered in the air. The room was serene, with only the quiet sounds of the underground city echoing in the distance, marking the arrival of a new day.

"Ugh…I'm such a bastard…" Daniel, already awake for some time, admonished himself with a long sigh. He then turned to look at Penthesilea's sleeping face before gently stroking her hair.

Checking the time, he realized it was already 8 AM, and it should be the time for the doctor to come checking on him.

"Hey… Penty… wake up. Get ready; the doctor is going to be here soon." Daniel shook Penthesilea, trying to wake her up.
