章節 88: Chapter 88: You are Merely Human

"Is it true Zacar had convinced his breeder to give him five hours?"

"Yes."

"How many hours do you think yours will agree on?"

"As many as I want."

The next week was an exercise in frustration for Julia. The irritating alien wouldn't let her get up and she itched to move around and gain her strength. She rather thought he wanted to keep her confined to the bedroom for reasons of his own.

More than having to stay in bed for so long, when her wound was healing fast, being fed every meal bothered her more every time.

She was not the helpless type and didn't relish being treated as such. The one good thing was that Zurian told her he was looking for Sarah.
