Book 5: Chapter 47
When I came around, it was already dark outside… I don’t know how long I slept for, I mean, was unconscious for. A cold wouldn’t leave me in this condition, but the thing mom made me can seriously kill.
Think about it, what would happen if you drank a mouthful of something that tasted like burnt rubber? Actually, you would die from drinking a mouthful of rubber.
I struggled to roll over. The aftertaste of that stuff stuck in my throat and felt like it was virtually going to burn my throat. However, I sweated a lot so I felt a lot more alert now.
That thing doesn’t seriously have healing properties now, does it…? I don’t want to drink it again even if it does. Drinking that thing is the equivalent of gambling with your life!
After I rolled over, I saw Lucia’s sleeping face. Lucia was sound asleep while hugging me. She locked me with all her limbs like a koala.
Maybe my sweat wasn’t a result of drinking that rubber soup but because Lucia hugged me so tightly.
I pulled Lucia into my embrace.
She moaned and then opened her eyes to look at me. She brought her face closer and brushed her nose against mine. In a soft voice, she said, “Your Highness… are you feeling a bit better?”
“Yeah, I’m a bit better. Thank you, Lucia.” I chuckled softly as I hugged her.
