Chapter 115: Recovery (part 3)

My heart stopped when I heard she hadn't returned since yesterday, and I remembered her words before we parted. 

"It's Chieko we're talking about. She'll be fine." 

Even though I said that. I can't help but be worried, even though it's only been one day, but Chieko should've been able to handle most of the by herself, so what's keeping her so long?

"You're right, and it's only been one day as well, Akamine-sama. Oh, and there have been talks outside that you're going to get married to the head of the Liu clan."

I couldn't help but gag on the water. Ryoto panicked and helped me out. I grasped Ryoto's hand, and I looked at him in the eyes.

"Where did you hear that?"

"I heard it from the people outside that someone by the name of Liu Xu'er the head of the Liu clan, will marry the Rai Akamine, you, well after you've fully recovered."
