Chapter 259: Hurt You!
The heavy wooden door creaked open as Liliana stepped into the room with limp Olivia in her arms. She did not go through the trouble of walking inside the inn with the main door. She was worried that if the villagers would see her, they would talk about her. So she just teleported herself into the room.
Damon was already pacing in the room with his jaw tight. His eyes filled with unease. The bedcovers were still half-thrown aside from where he had gotten up in a rush earlier, only to find Olivia missing. The growing storm of dread in his chest had consumed him completely but the moment he tried to leave the room, an invisible wall stopped him.
This had made him panic. Where did Olivia go that she had to make sure that he would not follow her. When he felt the noise behind him, he turned to look in confusion but his eyes widened and he ran,
"Olivia," he strode forward immediately when he saw Liliana holding Olivia. his voice trembled when his eyes fell on her unmoving form. "What happened?!"
Liliana adjusted Olivia’s weight carefully, lowering her onto the bed with a quiet grunt. "Calm down," she said gently. "She just fainted because of exhaustion. That’s all."
Damon dropped to his knees beside the bed, brushing hair from Olivia’s damp forehead. Her skin was warm, but she looked too pale and gaunt.
"Why? Was she attacked? Did villagers try to fight her or was it witches again?"
"No," Liliana cut in firmly. This man.. Why was his thoughts running wild? She shook her head and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "She had been training too hard, I would say, she is in haste but pushing herself far beyond what is reasonable. So, her body just gave out."
Damon’s brows furrowed. "Why didn’t anyone stop her?"
