Chapter 391 — Stay.
"Err... I am making sure these are the correct concoctions, Your Highness." — Concentrated the doctor told the man I couldn’t see eye to.
"Tsk. Then hurry up."
"!...."
After listening to the obvious dislike in his voice... this unfounded doubt felt more real. An off doubt that came out of nowhere and I know I normally wouldn’t have when it came to this man... And yet, it made my hands flinch... uncertain if I should let go or not at these incongruent beliefs in my head.
’uh..mh?...huh?... I- why is my head like this...??’ — Confused by how I was acting, my hand kind of forced itself to release him, with lowered head while I felt it circle around, truly troubled because my brain couldn’t make up any ideas that made sense to my heart anymore.
"Lady Marianne."
"–.....??" — Suddenly I felt myself freeze up to the gentle touch he gave my hesitant fingers... Because I couldn’t understand what happened in my head and surroundings, perhaps as an after-effect of everything we lived. — ’I... sorry-uh what?...??’
"... It is alright, my lady... do not think of anything." — My hands were taken in his and gently, one was lifted to reach his lips... leaving a light and brief kiss on my knuckles, stroking it later to comfort me and reassure me the treatment would come. — "Treatment will be given shortly... Lose every concern... I am to stay and guard you until your very chambers so rest will surely heal your exhaustion."
"..."
It overwhelmed me to listen his sweet words. Because I was still confused about today. But aware i was mistaken in what my fuzzy head believed, my eyes moved, unable to remain in one place, unable to keep directly looking at him... And becoming difficult to control. — ’?? ? hm... yeah? R-really?? w- why...’
