Chapter 28: Time wasted
I tried to sit up but then my whole body felt numb, and my vision blurred, so I closed my eyes once again and slowly opened it this time. I tried to move my fingers slowly but even that small movement is difficult. I also tried to open my mouth to call out Tafi but felt my throat parched and my lips crack so I just gave up and just looked at my status.

So that means I will stay bedridden for two more days. How am I supposed to eat and bath? Ho am I supposed to go to the bathroom?

What? The more time passes, the less I understand my status, does that even make sense? Anyway, that means I don't have to worry about food and bathroom until two days later. Hmm, so am I just suppose to sleep? why wake me up two days prior to complete recovery when I can't even move?
I know that nobody can answer my questions and if someone can I would probably ask them why they make such skills when there are better skills out there?!
I felt my frustration pile up again so I calmed my mind and slowly steadied my breathing, lets just meditate for now.

[mana: 900 030]
Oh? so meditating helps recover more mana? how come the Dragon never told me anything like this?
Speaking of the Dragon, was that a dream? or did he really come and helped me get out of my dream? I mean it happened a lot of times before, but he once told me that in order to get your consciousness inside someone's mind, you have to be in a certain distance, physically, from them. Does that mean he came here in person?
I opened my eyes once again and slowly scanned the room, I mean not the room but more like the ceiling since I can't even move my neck.
I can see nothing but wooden ceiling, and just when I'm about to give up, I saw a glowing little thing in the corner of my eyes, I tried to turn my head but failed so I just ignored it and decided to sleep.

[Recover time left: 00:02:08]
The moment I opened my eyes again, this greeted me. I guess I slept for 2 days and its now time for me to wake up. 2 minutes more!
[Recovery time left: 00:00:00]
[The
After waiting for a little bit, I tried to move my finger and unlike the last time, it moved freely now! So I slowly turned my neck to scan my surroundings and saw a black haired man sleeping on a couch near the door.
Elliot?
I was surprised to see the sleeping beautiful man in front of me, he's not skinny anymore! does that even make sense? I mean how can someone gain that much weight within 3 days?
or was it really just 3 days?
"E-" I tried to talk but felt my throat ache so I just simply knock on the side table which was also made of wood, beside the bed.
Eli gracefully opened his eyes, I don't know why but is it normal for someone to look this good looking right after waking up? His lashes were so thick and were fluttering as he slowly opened his eyes making it look like he's in some kind of a movie or a pictorial.
oh, yeah, I remember! Eli is the most handsome character I made in the book. Due to his bloodline, which seemed to have been blessed by the Goddess of beauty, no matter what body type, skin color, or hair color they have, they will always stand out and will always look good no matter what. I guess after a little food and sleep, Eli's bloodline surfaced at last.
"Anya?! ANYA!" Eli loudly said while looking at me like he saw a ghost
I just gestured him to get me some water and the smart man seemed to understand right away and hurriedly went out of the door, and after a few moments the door burst open and 4 people came in.
If you told me that I'm in a set of some movies or a pictorial of hot models, I would certainly believe you! The 4 people that came in looked like Hollywood actors!
Even the little child Tafi looked better! he also have some baby fat in his face now! How can that be?
"At last! you finally woke up, if you weren't breathing I would no doubt assume that you are dead" Nine said as he leaned on the door frame.
my eyebrows furrowed at his words, but decided to ask questions after I drank some water.
"Thank goodness you finally woke up" Elliot said with a smile
"I was so worried that Lady Anya would die of starvation or dehydration but you didn't!" Tafi said
"Ahem, I thought him those words" Zain said as he look away with the corner of his mouth twitching like he's keeping himself from smiling.
After I empty the glass of water that Eli brought for me I thanked him and asked them the question that had been bugging me ever since I saw Elliot sleeping on the couch.
"How long was I asleep? How come you changed this much?! And What happened after I collapsed?" I asked continuously
"Okay, okay, I will explain everything, let us seat on the couch first, it would be a long story so I don't think standing up and talking is a good idea" Eli said as he push the couch he was just sleeping on earlier towards the bed where I am now sitting on.
"Oh please, There's nothing much that happened, You were asleep for a year, we have been training after we finished to build this house and we have a rotation on who will look out on you while you sleep everyday, which by the way ends today since you finally woke up" Nine said nonchalantly
my eyes blinked for a couple of minutes, just staring at Nine. I am processing the words he just told me.
"Did you just say one year?"
"Hey! I was supposed to be the one to tell her everything! And what's up with that shabby summary?!" Eli complained as soon as he finished moving the couch close to us
"It was pretty accurate if you ask me" Zain added
"Zain, Dont tolerate him!" Eli said s he looked accusingly to Zain
"Yeah, the old man is right and we were guarding you in case someone creepy with a black hair and eyes appear again" Tafi said but I could only care less, all that was running in my head was
I wasted a year, sleeping!!!
