Chapter 46: Edward’s foe
In the shop, Dimitri felt out of place but seeing how everyone was happy, he didn’t want to spoil the mood. By the time the fitting was over, his face was bright red. He had been keeping everything inside for too long. Embarrassment, frustration, discomfort, all these emotions overwhelmed him.
Aaron had a wonderful time catching up with Ivan and Adeline kept choosing more and more clothes for Dimitri. He was part of her family now, he had to be dressed glamorously plus look at that face. He was a handsome little guy. Adeline just wanted to pinch those cheeks!
It had become very dark by then, Adeline didn’t notice that Dimitri was developing a fever. Only when they reached the manor and under the bright lights she realised how red he looked, she immediately took his temperature. He was burning up!
Out of instinct, she wanted to heal him but she remembered what her father said, she couldn’t use her powers. She missed him, she wished he would come back soon.
She didn’t get the chance to see him after that, the servants whisked him away to tend to him.
"Don’t worry, Linny. It’s just a fever."
"I know..."
Not caring about the people around her she hugged Aaron tightly. She knew... She knew that he would be fine. It’s just that she felt so empty. Most of it was attributed to missing her father. She didn’t know when he would be back. She just wanted her dad.
Aaron carried her back inside. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep in his arms.
