Chapter 242: Love At First Sight
The aged lady rushed in with an anxious expression, desperately attempting to pull Callis away from Rafe’s arms. However, Elis quickly stepped in, blocking her path.
"What are you doing? Move away!" the lady shouted at the maid.
Before Elis could respond, Callis intervened, her voice filled with urgency. "Jessy, there’s no need to panic. It’s not what you think! This man is a healer, and he’s treating me."
"Treating you? He looks like he’s taking advantage of you! How could a Cassian healer act so disrespectfully towards a maiden, let alone the honourable princess of the Mederian Clan? This is despicable behaviour!" the lady exclaimed, her worry turning into anger.
Rafe, taken aback by the accusations, quickly defended himself. "I swear I didn’t do what you accused me of, and such thoughts never crossed my mind!"
"Never? My princess is young and beautiful. It’s hard to believe that you wouldn’t find her attractive!" the lady retorted, her scepticism evident.
"I’m not saying she’s not attractive. Yes, she’s indeed beautiful, and I admit any man would have his heart fluttered over her, but I have no bad intentions whatsoever towards Her Highness! I am merely doing my job as a healer," Rafe explained sincerely.
"What a scumbag you are! Not only are you a liar, but a pervert!" the aged lady fired back, her wrath intensifying.
"Jessy, stop it!" Callis shouted.
The nanny was taken aback by the sudden outburst. She had never seen the princess so angry with her before.
"Mr Amares didn’t lie. I asked him to hold me like this. Please believe me," Callis pleaded, her tone softening this time.
