Chapter 55 Waking up (2/2)

”Are you sure?” Leon asked. I nodded to him in reassurance. He stopped massaging my head after.

Dr. Andrew walked and stood at my other bedside to check my pulse. Then he checked both of my eyes.

”Princess can you please open your mouth.” Dr. Andrew asked. And so I opened my mouth. He took a stick from his bag and checked my mouth while pushing my tongue down.

”How are you feeling after waking up?” Dr. Andrew asked.

”My whole body feels sore and aches. And then when I tried to remember what happened last night, my head ached as well.” I answered.

”Hmm that's normal.” Dr. Andrew said. ”Knowing that you have been sleeping for three days. Your muscles have been dormant and they will surely ache.”

”T-three days?!” I said in astonishment.

”Yes, you were asleep for the past three days.” Dr. Andrew confirmed.

I looked at him surprised then I looked at Leon. Leon gave me a gentle smile but I can see under that smile was worry. Then I realized Leon's clothes were looking a little disheveled. He must have been looking after me for the past three days in worriment.

”I will prescribe you some medication. I will give it to your maid and tell her the time you will need to intake it.” Dr. Andrew said. ”This will help your aches and can get you up in no time.” He smiled at me.

”Thank you doctor.” Leon said with gratitude.

”You are welcome. It is my job after all” Dr. Andrew smiled and looked at me after. ”You just lie down and rest. I will instruct your maids to massage your muscles, so that the muscles can wake up. After two days you can start walking around.”

”Thank you doctor.” I said with gratitude.

”Just rest and regain your strength. I will take that as your payment for my services.” Dr. Andrew patted my head and smiled sweetly at me. I don't know why the air inside the roomed became heavy soon after.

”Hahaha. Well I will be going then.” Dr. Andrew said and stood up. ”I will report to the general after this. I am sure he will be visiting you later.”

Dr. Andrew have a slight bow at me and then he smiled at Leon. When I glanced at Leon, he was giving the doctor a knowing look.

The doctor was almost outside the door when he stopped and turned around.

”Oh yes, sir Leon.” Dr. Andrew looked at Leon. ”I have sent the books you want to lend from me in your quarters.”

”Thank you doctor. It would be of big help.” Leon slightly bowed.

”Well then I will be going.” Dr. Andrew said.

”Have a safe trip doctor.” I said.

”Thank you princess.” The doctor slightly bowed and left.

I looked at Leon with curious eyes.

”You want to know what happened?” Leon asked me and I nodded.

”It would be best if we wait for your grandfather before I tell you.” Leon said. ”There are some things that is best to be said by him.”

I looked at him in confusion.

'What could it be that Leon still needs to wait for grandpa before telling me?' I wondered.
