Chapter 186: Politics Disguised As Parties (2)
Eslow accepted Henya’s proposal and granted her a one-year grace period. Of course, it wasn’t because he loved her; it was because he believed it would be better if she bore a child with someone she truly loved. Besides, for someone like Eslow, who had lived for centuries, a year was but a blink.
Keter took Henya to a room beside the office under the pretense of treating her injuries.
“So, what’s your plan?” Keter asked casually as he stitched up her wound.
Henya winced as the pain finally set in.
“Are you going to help?”
“My schedule is packed, so I don’t think I can. However, I can give you advice. You're a client in my debt, after all.”
“Didn’t I just repay that? If I hadn’t stepped in, you wouldn’t have a head by now.”
“First, you weren’t planning to marry me anyway. Second, do you really think I trusted Eslow enough to put my life in his hands? I was planning to pull back halfway through the slash.”
“You can dodge after getting halfway sliced?”
“I can.”
“How impressive,” Henya said sarcastically.
Once the suturing was done, Keter wrapped the wound with a bandage.
