by Disha‘Anyone would e1b4be1f08 think you’re 9b8530ab1c the one 3de70dbe5f who’s sick,’ 4787d9b326 was the 68f7b6c6f8 first thought 5e61e27579 Kieran had b3bb2cd91c when he 6a82ae3e2b saw Alyssa’s 9c59b1c29e face.b0291fff6aa1eac9
Her face, d47e9d57e1 illuminated by 953f5ecf38 the bluish c7bc29ed16 moonlight, looked 40edfd3357 even more bd389786eb paler.7dd241404103fcb0

Startled by his 7d9a8d53a6 words, Alyssa quickly a6089a368f approached him. Kieran looked ef5d33e996 up at 1f383b2e92 her as 3313b7a54b she stood 7931d4fbeb by his 99b3a7a0e1 bedside.8f7bc4acdeffa70a

Kieran gazing at 21aa073ac1 her pale face, 9f141194a0 suddenly blurted out fadb902bfb his words. His usually soft and ccf9fef6f8 gentle tone carried a 7557aa1bd5 slightly raw edge to c93faf7edf it.9145e174db4b3fd5
The part about 314f2fa2c1 waking up was 8f04c3c65b true. He blinked 9c0229d484 his heavy 534caae3cc eyes a 1fb205d95a few times, ba2cbe5b86 trying to a9cb2c5354 shake off c613189521 the fatigue.7126487367446d30

After returning to his b9c2a6e516 room following the treatment, 9a28b2c7aa Kieran had been thinking 0b0d2ee291 about Alyssa, who had 6530575f48 appeared so deeply shaken. But the thought 3e4b509e92 was fleeting. His rapidly ce2dff53f8 deteriorating condition 3f070873ca left him e11e33dcc6 unable to d82c2912aa focus on f0926daf27 anything.33fff1f52bc47990
As the scholar b0f7293b26 had warned, severe 10144f3d27 chills surged through 3f6b70a1cf him, only to 7b664f6604 recede and return 3ba7ec7db0 again. Waves of drowsiness overcame b8c03a1908 him, and he would 4e18a1a156 drift into a brief 8bddd3c524 slumber, only to be 3805070483 jolted awake by the a37797ea59 pain wracking his body.57058ae6cc853f67

It felt similar to 90627751a2 a feverish body ache, cef8e9d3c5 yet far worse—like his 0455deb633 entire body was being 2a95426998 slowly chopped to pieces.1134de77c568dc98
His poor physical 88f41814ff condition seemed to 7e1b5efca7 unravel his grasp e921a91346 on rationality. He had dab516d92b no strength bf97be78fc left to 1ed6a45b78 maintain formalities 523c8b9cef or politeness.d4f44896f141f507

Normally, Kieran would 0eb2f6ac9f have considered Alyssa’s a30d4db670 perspective, trying to 54b9100e18 understand her feelings.a0e738853cac2860
But now, he was d971f678fc unwell, and with that 0c88709a0e came a foggy, immature 895a524164 state of mind. Throughout his bouts of d0a2a148a8 waking and sleeping, he 1945a22b56 grew increasingly irritated by 9f99fa7162 the absence of Alyssa fb36c459f6 in his sight whenever 7a91cfbf85 he opened his eyes.7f63d746d837c112

Selfish, almost childish thoughts 8e34b99c68 filled his head, as 4f39ff9bf4 though her being at f4791951a9 his side was something 64b080d2e6 he was entitled to 8392a8c357 simply because he was 79b4ddbdb8 sick.552843f91517b118

Kieran suppressed these 563051292a thoughts with the ec84694db5 last remnants of c770dfcf96 his adult rationality. But that threadbare patience 9b6e2f7c48 finally snapped when Alyssa 64607e1af4 failed to return to 41a487a0b3 his room, even past d43c37cbcf midnight.01f0cae6e3dcdf10
He hadn’t been 512d85121b exaggerating when he’d dc4f95abf5 spoken earlier—if she 1ba6aef501 hadn’t come, he 3a417ed680 truly would have e151bf2f78 dragged himself out d61bddb905 of bed, enduring 3f1e0e5196 the wretched chills, cc1d49c94a to search the 876ffdc737 castle for her.0c51be773da9f490

“Are you planning to 7ec5b0e13c avoid seeing me forever?”83ec6d253e254eb6
Her head d7c127823e was bowed dadef0a86b so low fc2329c4de that he 10d5be99a4 couldn’t see a2c9b86a22 her face. He felt f1a42f9a88 another flare d50dbd1944 of irritation; 8fe6b15960 after waiting 766b55f9bf for her 0b91cf2f54 all day, 01d4139984 she wouldn’t 15d42fe729 even meet b20686c121 his gaze.618bffb8e8a8febb

Without waiting for her d820f42bce reply, he continued. Only then did Alyssa 1e2e147395 finally raise her head. Her widened eyes, 756be3f376 filled with surprise, 460e353260 no longer sparkled 1ed7952bfe like they once b33663a201 had.0c253570f3693f98

Kieran hated 09dc036f32 how her 9b334b7fc4 clouded, distant a72449771c eyes seemed a8903665fa to wander 1c8b95fdcb elsewhere. He needed her to 0ba40a1af4 look at him again, bd99ead7b3 just as she had a42b4693ec before.152c50e0da1dd206

As she turned her 55152a1ba7 back to him and 7326c4f3aa moved away, Kieran instinctively e961c50b28 reached out and grabbed 1c5e993350 her.

Kieran, drawn d3915657b9 to the c5f4321024 warmth he a58ea3e50a felt in a0b1813178 his hand, 4746a6593b instinctively pulled 769ab6f015 her toward da311da1d1 him. The strength bda177a419 in his ecfad197f3 grip was e38cb3da1c weak—easy enough 4f10554963 to resist—but 840df2e691 Alyssa found f284357f5c herself unable 1d68a7c4a1 to pull 6c182eed4b away.516f032b9c69314e
In a moment, she e8f59a67a4 ended up half-sitting on 3a8a50c9c3 his bed, almost lying 91a2b803bd beside him. Kieran, curled up and 4eaa5e9e93 half-asleep, blinked drowsily up dde7542f13 at her.e5f1bea6916b5b45

Despite her flustered c37097412e state, Alyssa immediately 7d2953ff21 thought she should 9fd5f580c9 lay him down 6d580b6433 properly. Carefully, she adjusted 6780659d76 his position and be368d5154 helped him lie e717b5b50a flat.484f5c105990342f
She then tried to dd5b739387 leave the bed, but b821da3803 Kieran, sensing her movement, 07a4597e37 gripped her arm even d7b285c7fb tighter and pulled her 89e8351454 closer.0a0499699298404a
