Chapter 16: I Will Not Leave You

[Lexxeignne]

I opened my eyes and saw Sister Georgina and Sister Yas facing Zenno and Zeil.

Zenno has his back on me so he didn’t see me awake. Zeil saw me and quickly went to me. He accidentally pushed Zenno away.

"Lex, are you okay? Do you feel pain? I should’ve gotten back here immediately," he said, full of concern, making me smile.

"No, I'm fine," I said, and he sighed in relief.

"Do you know him?" he pointed at Zenno who was looking at me in surprise. I nodded hesitantly.

"What are you doing here, Zenno?" I ask while frowning.

"I heard what happened to you, Lex. I can’t stay put until I don't see you well."

I sighed. "I'm fine, Zenno. You can leave." I said coldly. He looked surprised, and a bit hurt. I know I’m being harsh but I want him out of my sight. I will just remember the past.

The entire room fell into pin-drop silence and the atmosphere was very awkward.

I let out a heavy sigh.
