Unwanted Arrival

As the day turned to morning when the sun began to shine, Jillian decided not to go to work to tend to Dion's wounds. She went to the market and then visited Barned's shop to tell Axcel about this.

"I see, that's fine. I hope your husband can recover quickly. Oh..." He took a paper bag and put two loaves of bread inside. "This is for him."

"Huh? No need, no need to bother."

"It's okay, I want to give it to him. He must need something to fill his stomach to get better quickly. Sweetbreads could be a mood booster for him to eat," the young man explained as he forced Jillian to accept it.

She accepted Axcel's gift and thanked him. Jillian said goodbye to go home. Although she was only out of work for one day, Axcel felt sad that Jillian wasn't working that day.

At home, Jillian locked the door because Dion was inside. She didn't want any strangers to carelessly enter her house again. She went to her room to check on Dion.
