Chapter 169: Welcome to Cassian!
Rafe arrived earlier at the treatment room than Noah and was delighted to find his patient already awake. Ayden swiftly gave him the latest updates on Clara’s condition and properly introduced him to Clara.
"You’re incredibly strong, Dame Verns. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t have awakened yet," Rafe commended, admiration evident in his voice.
"I am a knightess. I am accustomed to injuries, and I should be able to endure this," Clara replied.
The healer smiled warmly at her response.
"I know... but for now, take it easy. Don’t push yourself too hard. You need plenty of rest. I assure you that you are in good hands now. You are an important person to our lady, and we will not take your treatment lightly," he reassured her.
"Thank you, Mr Amares," Clara expressed her gratitude, to which Rafe nodded in acknowledgement.
"You’re welcome," he replied sincerely.
Just then, the sound of determined footsteps approached the door. Noah entered, followed closely by Elis, who had to hasten her steps to keep up with the knight’s long and fast stride.
"Sir Brooks!" Clara exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the familiar face. The knight entered the room, but before he could approach Clara, Rafe gestured for a moment of his time.
"Just a second, Sir Brooks. I need to talk to you, only for a moment," Rafe requested, his tone conveying the importance of their conversation.
Noah nodded in understanding, and they stepped out of the treatment room, finding a moment of privacy to converse.
