Tillian hesitated in front of the bedroom doors, reluctant to enter for fear of disturbing Aideen's rest with unnecessary noise.
He was utterly exhausted. So much so that he could not even muster the energy to finish his usual tasks, leaving Stanis to take care of them in his stead.
Never had he imagined that seeing Aideen hurt, even if not severely, would take such an immense toll on him. His own well-being deteriorated almost instantly, and he found it remarkable how deeply his wife's condition, or rather, her lack of well-being, affected him.
Both emotionally and physically, he felt the weight of her pain as if it were his own.
In this chapter, I would like to thank everyone who saw this novel in the app/on the website, decided to give it a try, and stayed. I want you all guys to know that I appreciate every single one of you. The support that you are giving me in any form (paid chapters, privilege tiers, power stones, golden tickets, comments, reviews) inspires me to work harder and continue writing. I am still new to this and I know I still have a lot to learn but it is thanks to you, dear readers, that I am able to do this. I hope this journey continues bringing joy to all of us!
