Chapter 123 - I swear to god, I didnt know (1/2)

Inside the kitchen; Ethan had a frown on his face as he stares at the soup he's preparing heating up on the cooker, while the delicious aroma could be perceived inside the entire kitchen.

It was hard to make Diana sleep. If he raised a hand; she will open her eyes, same as when he moved his leg.

It's like all movement is a loud bang sound to her. She's very sensitive to her surroundings. She only stopped after he woke her up and assured her that she should let her guard down and sleep wholeheartedly if she trusts him.

Diana nodded her head and finally slept with her whole mind and soul in it after she heard those words. She didn't even wake up when he carried her all the way to the room he had prepared and decorated for her.

Not even when he placed her on the bed, removed her hair band, took off her shoes and laid her in a comfortable position.

But Ethan made a mistake of switching on the air conditioning. He had no idea her body couldn't withstand too much cold. His believe was to make her more comfortable and sleep well.

He took a deep sigh. He wondered how the training must have been hard on her. He didn't like all this, but didn't know what to do.

The last time he had video chat with Diana; he could see from her reactions to questions related to training that she seem to want it.

He fully made up his mind after seeing that she really wishes to do it, without any traces of being forced in her response. But he didn't feel so good about it now.

He didn't like the changes, neither did he hated it as it didn't change how he feels about her, but couldn't help worrying about it. He felt like asking her straight up if she still want this, but didn't want to end up messing things up.

He's not sure what to do, as Nathan wouldn't allow her out of the base to be with him except this way. He had told him how he wouldn't mind if Diana insisted on leaving, as far as both of them stay away from each other.

Which means; if Diana wished to risk her life, he wouldn't allow Ethan to foolishly do the same. Diana can make her own choices without him interfering much, but wouldn't allow that from Ethan. He's the only one that's a son figure to their parents.

He knows he's only their child by name, but wouldn't allow Ethan to risk his life and hurt them like he did.

Ethan felt powerless as Nathan can force his decisions on them. He didn't want to act strong headed when he's not even sure what Diana wanted now. He can give it his all and try to stay safe if Diana want to stop walking this path, but didn't even know how to ask and not complicate things.

”Sir!” A middle age woman with a brown curly shoulder-length hair, dressed in a blue knee length gown, with an apron around her body called. She's the cook, but Ethan insisted on preparing the meal himself.

He returned to his senses and quickly pick up the soup spoon and stirred the stew. He looked up at the woman, ”Sarah, please check if she's awake.” He said to the woman, who bowed slightly and left the kitchen, while Ethan turned off the gas, picked up the tray where plates and cutleries laid and headed towards the dining to set the table.

**Inside Diana's room.

Suddenly, Diana body started shivering. She opened her eyes at once and quickly reached for her wrist, as she could still move, but couldn't find the wristband with the needle case attached to it.
