Chapter 452 - Night Blooming Flower Part 1 (2/2)
Rhys nodded, and he walked over to her. He sat down on the edge of the bed, and Lyn fixed up his clothes. She tied the sash firmly around his waist, to make sure the robe wouldn't slip off.
”You slept all day, right?”
”Yes.”
”Then, let's go out now. I said I would take you somewhere. You can eat there too.”
Her cheeks colored when she realized he noticed the low grumbling sound in her stomach. 'How embarrassing.' But forget about her pride and stuff now. She is hungry. With her legs in this condition, it's very difficult for her to do anything alone. She still isn't used to using the crutches either.
Rhys brushed his fingers across her cheeks. ”You feel okay to go out?”
”I do.”
”Then let's get going. Your clothes right now are fine.”
”Eh?” Lyn said puzzled. ”But this is my sleepwear…”
Rhys, however, already scooped her up in his arms. Lyn wanted to protest but knew it was futile to do so with him. The two of them quietly left the room.
'Well, if he wanted to harm her a long time ago, he would have done so a long time ago.' So Lyn relaxed in his arms.
”You okay?”
”I'm fine,” Lyn mumbled. She is okay. ”I wanted to get some fresh air anyway. It's difficult going around during the day.”
Rhys nodded. ”Sorry about that. I know you want to, but you understand the situation, right?”
”Because of the dark magic, right?”
”Yes, your leg wound was infected with dark magic. It's difficult, but please stay low for a few more days. I will keep you company.”
”Don't you have work?” Lyn questioned.
”I do have work. But honestly, it can wait. Spending a few days extra with you won't harm me.”
He says that. But, Lyn examined his expression and saw a complicated look appear in his eyes. If Lyn told him to go, he will overreact and say something about her not wanting to be with him. It seems like she has no choice but to accept his offer. She glanced up to look at the sky.
A full moon against the gorgeous midnight blue skies. Small glistening stars. 'What a beautiful night.' Lyn thought. She wonders when was the last time she properly looked at the sky like this. While they are living peacefully here inside the castle town. People outside are suffering. It didn't feel right for her to be enjoying the scenery. That's why Lyn kept herself occupied with other tasks.
”What are you thinking, Lyn?”
”I was thinking, it's beautiful tonight.”
Rhys chuckled. ”You like the scenery, huh? I don't see it as anything special but,” his gaze fell on the sky. ”Watching this sky with you. It feels different than usual.”
Lyn's eyes widened when she heard those words escape his lips. 'It seems like she underestimated his feelings for her.'
