章 309: THE WINTER MORNING

"Are you trying to run away from me? I'm not letting you do that. You owe me a kiss."

Veronica thought that she heard someone talking to her, but she couldn't recognize who it was. She felt like she was drowning in the deep pool of water. Gradually, her soul drifted somewhere.

When she finally opened her eyes, it was already morning. She rubbed her eyes and looked outside the window. Everything was white. Layers of snow covered the trees. She couldn't see anything after that. The scenery behind the trees was hazy.

'Was there any scene like that in the tower?' she wondered. Closing her eyes, she tried to recall yesterday's event. When she remembered going to Merlin's house, her eyes flew open. 'I don't remember going back to the tower. Did I sleep over?'

She moved the comforter away and tried to get up, but then she realized that something heavy was over her body and that WASN'T the comforter.

It was a hand.

A man's hand.
