069 ※ Motherly Interference [IV]

"THEN HELP ME GO TO THE BATHROOM and get these clothes out of me," I can barely move, imagine taking off these clothes.

Mother did her best in torturing me today.

Val took me to the bathing chambers and helped me with my clothes, but then his nose started bleeding. "Natasha... The smell is too pungent, for Mikla's sake, why are you smelling like pain, and why are your clothes smelling like blood but I don't see any?" He covered his nose with a tissue.

"Valerian, I-" when I tried to say something, I coughed blood and felt like my throat was about to be shattered.

And Kate appeared right at that moment. When she saw me, she screamed. "What is happening to her?" She cried.

"I... I don't know," Val answered just as desperate.

"Do... Do not worry," I began, with my voice sounding weak as never before. "I'm alright," then I blacked out.

"...pitiful state?" I heard Val's voice from afar.
