Chapter 277: Great News
Katelina snuggled closer to Ezekiel, savoring the warmth of his body and the feeling of his arms around her.
"I love you," she said softly, her eyelids growing heavier with each passing second. She had a smile on her face because she was able to express her feelings for him more confidently now, not just in actions but in words. She was so grateful that, in the end, Ezekiel didn’t stop looking for her despite how she forgot to find her way back to him.
"I love you too," Ezekiel replied, his voice a soothing balm to her weary soul. As they lay there, entwined in each other’s embrace, Katelina felt a sense of peace and contentment she hadn’t experienced in a long time. The worries and fears of the past seemed distant, overshadowed by the love and passion they shared. She drifted off to sleep, her heart full and her body completely spent.
Ezekiel watched her as she slept, a soft smile playing on his lips. He gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, his heart swelling with love and pride. He knew they had challenges ahead, but in that moment, everything felt right. With a final kiss on her forehead, he closed his eyes, allowing himself to rest beside the woman he loved more than anything in the world.
It was dawn when Katelina stirred in the bed because she felt something weird. She was nauseous and felt like her stomach had turned upside down, so she got up and rushed to the wash area and threw up continuously.
Waking up with that sudden movement and Katelina’s emotions swirling through the bond, Ezekiel was quick to get by her side. "What’s wrong?" he asked as he gently rubbed her back.
"I’ll get a healer," he quickly instructed the guard outside and hurried back to Katelina. When he returned, she was already feeling a bit better. Ezekiel helped her clean up and get dressed and then carried her back to her bed.
"My stomach is churning," she muttered as she tried to get up, but Ezekiel stopped her and said, "I’ll get the basin. Vomit in there and stay on the bed."
As she vomited, Ezekiel was busy tidying up her hair into a bun.
Katelina chuckled and said, "I didn’t know you could arrange hair like this," she teased him.
"Hah, I have two sisters, Kate. Even though they have servants, they still find time to seek me out and ask me to help them with things just to bug me," Ezekiel replied with a grin.
