Chapter 278: A Bitter Past
Ayden gently guided the wheelchair, allowing Clara to relish the cool breeze’s gentle caress as they strolled through the enchanting late afternoon scenery.
A radiant smile adorned the knightess’s lips, her heart brimming with joy at the opportunity to venture beyond the confines of her room.
"Can we make a brief stop at the garden? I would love to see the sunset," Clara requested, her eyes alight with anticipation.
Ayden readily agreed and deftly manoeuvred the wheelchair towards the garden path. They soon arrived at a picturesque spot, where a bench awaited them, positioned perfectly to face the setting sun. With utmost care, the assistant healer parked the wheelchair beside the bench.
"Is this place fine?" he inquired.
A wide, beaming smile graced Clara’s lips as she gazed at the sight of the sun’s crimson rays descending upon the horizon.
"It’s absolutely perfect!" she exclaimed, her voice brimming with delight and awe.
Clara took a deep, cleansing breath, immersing herself in the enchanting beauty of the autumn scenery. Ayden settled onto the bench beside her, mindful of giving the knightess ample space to embrace the moment fully.
A sense of tranquillity enveloped them. The garden blossomed with an array of vibrant colours, harmoniously complemented by the warm, golden hues of the descending sun.
Clara marvelled at the breathtaking beauty of the autumn scenery, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I never realised that autumn could be so beautiful."
