Brother's Decision

Aslan took Rosie back to her room. Still in a panic, the man shouted for the maid to take care of Rosie right away. He lowered the girl in the bathroom. Rosie had to take a warm bath immediately to warm herself. However, when Aslan wanted to leave, Rosie tightly grabbed his clothes, asking not to leave her alone.

"I'll come again after you warm up yourself in the bathtub."

Rosie shook her head, still not wanting to be left alone. The image of Nicholas' hands touching her body was still vividly planted in her mind, and only in Aslan's arms did Rosie feel more at ease. 

"Don't go, Aslan. I'm scared…"

Aslan held Rosie's cheeks in his warm palms, asking the girl to look up to look at him. 

"Alright, I'll be here with you. You take a bath first."
