章節 144: His care for her

Evelyn slowly opened her eyes and sat on the bed. Feeling pain in her neck she touched it only to find a cloth wrapped around it. She glanced around wondering where she was until her eyes fell on the pot placed securely on the table. 

"Elric," she mumbled. 

Just when she took his name, the door opened to the bedroom and Elric entered. There was a gentle smile on his face and his eyes filled with concern as he approached her. 

"How are you feeling now, Eve?" He asked, taking a seat beside her. 

Nodding her head once, she replied, "I am fine now." Looking at him smiling, she asked, "What had happened?" 

"Will discuss after you have your dinner," he replied. 

Just then she realized it was night. She wondered how long she had been sleeping, making everyone worry about her. She sighed. 

"Don't think much about it now. Let's have dinner together and I have informed Earl that you'll be staying here tonight," he informed and stood up.
