Chapter 192: A Tearful Reunion
"Yes?" Rafe replied, curious about what she wanted to say.
"Since you already knew about Kyren’s decision, can I ask you a favour?" Anna’s fingers fidgeted with her skirt. A sense of nervousness was apparent in her expression.
"What favour?" Rafe questioned, trying to understand the urgency of the plea.
"I... I would like to ask for some contraceptives," Anna finally blurted out, her face turning crimson.
"What?" The healer’s surprised response echoed in the room.
"Yes... Well... The thing is... Kyren and I... when we’re intimate... there’s no precaution, and he... he usually... umm..." Anna’s stammering voice trailed off, the embarrassment evident in her downcast eyes.
Rafe paused as he recalled the couple’s conversation in the main hall that he had overheard. It appeared that Kyren had not shared his procreation matter with her.
"My lady..." Rafe paused, taking a moment to find the right words to say.
He laid his posture on the chair back and looked at Anna with empathy and guilt. He wished he could tell her the truth and reveal everything, but it would be against his oath before the previous king and queen to safeguard the secret.
"I’m afraid I can’t give any to you. Your body is not suitable to take that kind of drugs," Rafe gently explained.
"But... if I got pregnant... Kyren would be mad at me. He adamantly told me he didn’t want any child ever!" Anna stressed with concern.
