CHAPTER 21

He had suspected that something was definitely wrong with him the second Valery’s face changed that day. She wouldn’t let anyone close to that lotus unless it was crucial. He was afraid of asking the real reason why she did it but it seems as if she read his mind.

“You were dying and I had to stop it,” she told him.

“What does that mean?” Xavier asked as he stopped massaging her.

“That night when I took you out of the inn, you were affected by the lotus’s magic. I only realized it after you came back. I had to stabilize you and let you get used to the magic or else I was going to lose you. I can’t stand that fact,” she confessed to him and he was touched.

She really cared for him even though she doesn’t say it first. She wasn’t good with words but at least he was good at figuring her out in his own way. He hugged her from behind and kissed the top of her head.

“I promised you that I will never leave you and I meant it. Thank you for saving my life every time,” he said.
