Chapter 661. Relieved
Jael entered the bedroom and was promptly followed by Mill, who held a light. Jael crossed the room to where Mauve sat and stopped in front of her. "Mauve," he called her name.
Mauve looked up at Jael, and the memories of two nights ago flooded her mind. She could vaguely remember waking to scold Louis and then falling back asleep. However, it was the incidents from two nights ago that made her bury her face in her palms.
"Are you okay?" Jael asked, stopping in front of her.
Mauve nodded but didn’t pull her hands away from her face. What was wrong with her? She couldn’t believe she had done that.
"Mill said you can barely remember what happened the last couple of days and you don’t think you’ve slept for that long?"
Mauve paused, trying to figure out how to answer. She could pretend she couldn’t remember, but she doubted she could keep that up for long. There was also the fact that what she had done was very concerning, and she probably needed to figure out what had happened to her at the time.
"Well, that’s true," she replied, her hands muffling her words.
"Are you okay?" he repeated, and without waiting for her response, Jael peeled her palms off her face, forcing her to look at him.
Her expression was enough to give her away, and Jael asked, "You remember?"
Mauve slowly nodded, and Jael’s expression changed from stern to relief. He lifted her up by the shoulders and wrapped her in a bear hug. "I was so worried."
Mauve felt Jael crush her, and she leaned into him, his arms around her felt so nice and it was easy to give in. He pulled her away and stared hard at her as if to make sure he didn’t miss anything. Mauve found this funny and started laughing.
