Chapter 220: Naive and innocent (2)
Hex groaned, opening his eyes slowly.
The pain in his voice alerted Elena immediately. She hastened to his side, utilizing her abilities at once.
"Don’t exert yourself. Miss Rosa said you need plenty of sleep and potions to recuperate. It will take some time to get back to your old self."
Her soothing voice affected the superficial injuries he suffered. Hex sensed the energy spread through the air as she spoke. The ability’s nature made him forget about his plans for a second.
’Interesting. She can project the healing effects through her voice. If she has offensive or curse-related abilities, I need to be alert. But I doubt she would expose it if she relied on it. On the other hand, by exposing her healing abilities she can use the offensive ones as a sneak attack.’
Hex considered the various ways Elena’s abilities could be used against him. It took less than a second to come up with all these thoughts. But then he shook his head. He was too paranoid. It helped him be alert to an extent but if he didn’t keep it in check he might overthink and turn cowardly.
"How long will I be stuck in a bed?"
He asked while allowing Elena to adjust his head so he could lie in a comfortable position.
"Miss Rosa is an excellent healer. The best in here. You will be okay in no time."
