Chương 655: Cryptic Clues

The soft glow of lamplight bathed the room in a warm, comforting ambience as Ashton stood outside Rose's door. He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before gently knocking. The door creaked open, revealing Rose, her eyes brightening at the sight of him.

"Looks like you finally got the time to visit me," she greeted with a warm smile, her voice still carrying traces of exhaustion from her recent ordeal. "Come on in; I don't remember you being a shy guy before."

"What can I say? I turn that way in the presence of someone as beautiful as you," Ashton joked while shutting the doors behind him. 

"You and your silver tongue," Rose mumbled as she rolled her eyes. 

Ashton stepped forward. Rose's hospital room was an exact replica of her room at the academy.

It was probably Mera's idea to have it arranged as it would provide her with a sense of familiarity and could help Rose recover faster.
