Chapter 243: To Heal Another.. (1)
Without asking, Evanna knew there would be a good reason behind Arawn’s lies. Most likely to protect her. Balin had yet to see her with her hood pulled down, so he believed her to be an elf.
She did not wait to listen to the rest of their conversation, though. Ronan needed treatment. He needed at least two days’ rest. Even then, would he be strong enough to continue?
Evanna didn’t want to put pressure on her friend to continue. But she couldn’t let him stay in these lands by himself.
"*You worry too much,*" Garrett said, watching her from the window he stood in front of, arms crossed, looking stern. "*You can heal him, your highness.*"
Evanna frowned at that as she approached Ronan’s side. "*I do not know-*"
"Do not play dumb. It does not suit you," Garrett’s tone and words caused Ger and Axel to glance between them warily.
"What is going on?" Ger stepped away from Ronan’s bedside whilst Axel had already started tending to the wound on his neck, pouring alcohol from his flask onto the area to clean it.
Ronan jolted, eyes snapping open, and he hissed from the pain, but Axel held his chest down. "Can’t be helped, lad," he muttered grimly.
Though Evanna did wonder about that. Axel was most likely used to not carrying anything else with him to help with such wounds. Now they were in this inn, they could have used fresh warm, soapy water to clean Ronan’s wound. It did not matter now. It was already done.
