Chapter 218
I was taken aback. Why was he more worried about me than I was about myself? I guess his concern was genuine, but it made me feel a little awkward—almost like I was the fragile one here.
"Zeke, I’m fine, really," I assured him, trying to sound confident. Although the pain was noticeable, the wound wasn’t deep enough to be serious.
"Pierre, the recovery potion," Ezekiel said urgently, his eyes fixed on the small bottle in Pierre’s hands. Without waiting for permission, he snatched the potion and quickly emptied its contents directly onto my wound.
I watched as the liquid seeped into the cut, and almost immediately, I felt a soothing coolness spread through the injury. Ezekiel’s expression was focused and serious, clearly worried but trying to stay calm.
"Thanks, Zeke," I said softly, feeling a bit grateful despite the unexpected concern. The pain was already beginning to fade, and I could tell the healing process was kicking in.
"Umm, you do know that Remillia also has other wounds, right?" Pierre suddenly interjected, catching Ezekiel off guard. Ezekiel’s eyes widened as he carefully examined my body and realized I had minor cuts and bruises all over.
"Just so you know, I don’t have any more recovery potions," Pierre added, his tone a bit apologetic as Ezekiel opened his mouth to ask more questions.
I gently placed a hand on Ezekiel’s arm to stop him. "I can handle this myself, Zeke," I said reassuringly, trying to ease his concern.
Ezekiel looked at me, still worried, but he nodded slowly. "Alright, but be careful, okay?"
Changing the subject, Ezekiel then asked, "By the way, what happened to Edge?"
I offered a small smile, trying to sound confident. "Don’t worry about him. He’s fine," I replied, hoping to reassure everyone and shift the focus away from my injuries.
Just in time, I saw Edge walking frantically toward us, speaking hurriedly to one of the instructors. "That witch—I mean, Remillia Lockhart! I think an intruder went inside the Sky Tower..." His voice was tense, eyes darting around worriedly.
