Chương 73: Every Mother's Fear

Kael's eyes fluttered open. His body felt heavy, yet the soft glow of the room bathed him in an unfamiliar warmth.

The sheets beneath him were luxuriously smooth, unlike anything he had ever experienced.

The faint sound of waves crashing against the shore reached his ears.

He sat up slowly, realizing he was in a grand, intricately designed room with high ceilings.

The air carried the subtle scent of sea salt.

'Where am I?,' he wondered.

As he scanned the room, his eyes fell on a figure sitting near his bedside.

It was Sephina.

Her head rested on his arms, and she appeared to be asleep.

Even in slumber, her expression was pained, as if she had been fighting a battle within herself.

Kael looked away and reached for his phone on the nearby table.

Unlocking it, he checked the date.

Two days… It had only been two days since the war.

'Thanks to Astral water,' kael thought.
