Chapter 54: Getting Better
Sophie slowly fed him spoon after spoon, she made sure to be careful and not spill anything. Every now and then, Riven would notice her glancing at him unusually, with a worried look on her face.
"You want to ask something?" he said, looking at her. She shook her head, but her eyes said the truth.
"You can ask me, I’ll try my best to answer," he said. She paused, looked at him, and then let out a breath.
"It’s nothing really important, it is just that I spotted you when you had ran out a few days back, I was on my way toward the dining room, and I heard what your brother asked you and how you ran out.
And after that, you returned with young master Noel both unconscious. It’s not really a question, I just felt like saying it," she said and looked away, not meeting his gaze.
"I left Noel that day inside of the dungeon because we had an argument, and then after hours, he hadn’t returned, so when I heard, I felt guilt, that something might have happened to him and it was my fault," Riven said.
"I see, I’m sure Noel must really appreciate having you as a brother, to be willing to risk your life for him," she said. Riven wanted to dispute that, but she returned to feeding him and shoved a spoon in his mouth.
After he was done eating, she packed up and left, and he was alone again. He felt much better than when he first woke up, the pain had also gone down, but it was still there.
He decided to just sleep it out till the next day, allow himself one more day of rest.
