Chapter 145 Are You Okay? 1 (2/2)

But why isn't he weirded out about it?

Raghnall saw the rising suspicion in Inna's eyes and he couldn't help but question himself on what he suddenly did wrong. But feeling that his conscience is clean, he set the glass of water down at the table behind him as he tried to change the topic.

”So…. Uh… how are you feeling now? Most of the poison is out of your body so you just need to rest for a few moments before you'll be back to normal.”

Inna sighed as she withdrew her expression.

She found it strange that he didn't react much about her acting strange but then again, she shouldn't worry too much about it right now. She's recovering so she should just clear away all annoying things and figure them out later. Stressing herself isn't good for now.

Besides, from the sudden change in topic, she knew not to look too deep into it because, even if she tried, he'll probably just keep dodging it anyways.

Somehow she just figured him to be that type of a person.

So, with no choice, she decided to just go with the change of topic.

”I see. Well, aside from feeling quite weak, I don't feel anything wrong as of the moment.”

Inna tried lifting her arms and the heaviness she felt was something akin to sore muscles.

”So, where's Favian or Frode, or whoever he is right now?”

Raghnall let out a small sigh of relief as he answered.

”He probably went down to rest.”

Inna nodded in understanding as she leaned back on her bed.

”What happened while I was asleep anyways? Any news on the exam?”

Raghnall looked at her with a disapproving gaze.

”Ninny, ninny, ninny. Don't worry about that stuff anymore. Why do you even care about that stupid exam? The bets are off anyways and to be honest, I only suggested it to you because I figured it would be amusing. But now, it's the least of your worries, y'know.”

Then, as if he just remembered something important, he looked into Inna's eyes. His own dripping with seriousness and sincerity while he looked at her with an apologetic expression.

”And I guess it must be too late for me to say, but I really am so so sorry for putting you in the face of danger. I didn't think that this small idea would threaten your life so much. Back when I took the test, there wasn't much happening so I thought it would be harmless. But then all this happened and I don't even know what to do to make it up to you.”

Inna couldn't help but let out a small smile from his words.

”Calm down there, boy. It's all good. Besides, it's not your fault. It's those who poisoned me that was at fault. And I have a pretty clear idea on who they are.”

But before Inna could say who they were, Raghnall beat her to it.

”Herad and Galen?”

Inna could only swallow the words she was about to say as she looked at him in confusion.

”How'd you know?”

Raghnall just shrugged.

” I had to cover for Favian leaving and just happened to hear them talking about it. But don't worry about them anymore. They got the punishment they deserved.”

”Huh? How?”

Raghnall patted her shoulder as he smiled brightly, but inside, he's actually panicking on what excuse to use.

”Uh, Professor Gnarly… uhm, found out about it and decided to punish them. So, don't worry about them and worry about yourself instead.”

Inna knew he was lying. In fact, it was pretty obvious from the way he stuttered and the way he smiled too brightly.

She knew he was hiding something.

Feeling frustrated from all the secrets and questions, Inna fell silent as she hugged her knees on the bed and placed her head on top of it.

Raghnall saw the strange gesture and somehow he felt worried.

He was about to ask her when he suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain on his shoulder.

”What was that for?!”
