Alex immediately approached Abigail when he saw her.

”You're awake,” he leaned in on her, moving so close as he smiled at her. ”Good morning, Abigail,” he whispered and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Abi flushed because of Alex's sudden PDA.

”Good morning, Alex,” she replied as she pushed her hands against his hard abs to keep a little distance between them. Craning her head sideways, she looked at the silver-haired witch and Zeke. She smiled at them both, a wordless gesture of hello.

The witch smiled back while Zeke just stood there, expressionless.

”Uhm… Alex, please don't harm her. She meant no harm to me,” Abi then told Alex, causing the man to stare at her for a while. His gaze fell on her neck and saw that the bruises were still there.

Abi immediately realized what he was looking at and her hands moved to cover her neck. ”I'm fine. Stop looking at them,” she told him.

Alex just tucked her hair behind her ears before he turned to look at Alicia.

”Witch. Give me some powerful medicine for bruises,” he ordered and Alicia frantically went to comply.

Once she was gone, Abi leaned in on Alex and whispered in his ear. ”Don't be like that to her. She's a good woman. Be nicer to her, okay?”

Alex raised a brow. ”Are you serious, Abigail? You want me to be nice to someone else other than you?”

”O-of course. What I mean is don't be too –”

”Not possible,” he cut her off and leaned in once again, pinching her chin. ”I have learned my lesson Abigail. If I don't want my beloved running away again, I better not do anything that could ignite her jealousy,” he smirked, making Abi bite her lips.

Abi cleared her throat and was about to speak when Alicia returned.

”Here's the medicine,” Alicia said as she held out her hand that was holding a small white bottle. She politely gave the bottle to Alex with a slight bow.

Alex took it and surveyed it closely.

”This is for humans, right, witch?”

”Yes.”

His eyes locked on hers as if he was giving her a warning and then he opened the bottle and smelled the contentm before giving the bottle to Zeke.

Zeke sighed as he lazily took it. He simply took a quick glance inside and gave it back a second later. ”It's safe,” he said but Alex glared at him, obviously unsatisfied with how quick Zeke had decided that it was safe.
