บท 198: Dream Come True

Drake was taken by surprise to find Arla in the hallway, as she was supposed to be assisting Mistress Valeria with Wolfsbane and Belladonna. Additionally, she is the last person he would want to witness him in tears.

Nevertheless, he still felt happy to see her. Her offer was something that he was not expecting but he completely appreciated it so he took her offer and hugged her tight as he cried on her shoulder.

Arla rubbed his back gently which soothed him greatly. After a good cry, he gently released her and Arla swiftly took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped his tears. 

"Feeling better?" she asked.

Drake simply nodded and accepted the handkerchief from her, attending to his messy face.

"I apologize for you having to witness that. I'm fine now," Drake assured.
