บท 95: Warmth

For the rest of the day, Ellie stayed inside the room, having Mary as company for some of the time, and having just her thoughts for the other times when Mary had something to do.

She didn't bother discussing what happened earlier with Mary. She only brooded over it when she was alone and came to a decision to keep her curiosity at bay for now since Storm was not okay with it. Nicholas needs her alive and she needs to keep her new job, guarding it with all diligence to ensure her brother's safety and comfort.

The next morning, however, she woke up a little earlier than normal, to find Mary moaning in pain on the bed while massaging the sides of her temple with her fingers.

Ellie jumped out of bed and approached Mary's bed in a hurry. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" She probed, her brows knitting together in concern.
