Chapter 136: What to know how
Back in Enoch’s room, Scarlet was done freshening up and she looked better than before. Food was brought in for her, but she could only manage to eat the grape among the varieties that were bought in for her.
At least, that was going to sustain her for a while. She could resume her normal way of eating once they got back to the mansion.
Once she was done eating, she went to lay on the bed beside Enoch, and started stroking his hair gently, hoping he would wake up.
"Just come back, I am feeling suffocated," she whispered, leaning closer to him for comfort. Even while he was asleep, she felt comforted in his presence. How much she longed for him, her mate.
Unknowingly, she soon slept off, curling herself up on Enoch, totally forgetting that he was a patient.
"Scarlet!" In her dream, a faint voice called to her, the voice, sounding like it was compelling her instead.
"Scarlet!" Then she jolted up, gasping for breath. Looking around her, the doctor was looming over her, worry written all over his face.
"You look pale, come let me check your pulse." Grabbing her by her wrist, that made her uncomfortable, he walked her to the desk and made her sit on the chair in front of it.
For some reason, Scarlet felt like the doctor was being too friendly with her despite not knowing her. She didn’t trust him but as long as he was still treating Enoch, she had no choice but to be nice to him. Moreover, he wouldn’t dare try something stupid, considering he was too old to have immense powers.
"Did you eat something?" He asked, pressing two fingers on her wrist to feel her pulse.
"I tried eating grapes," she answered, exhaling calmly.
