169. Consent

When Paige woke up, she needed some time to remember the situation she was in. 

She looked to her side, where a man with sun-kissed skin, green eyes, and brown curly hair sat. After a few seconds, she asked,

"Anji?" He hadn't changed his appearance in any way, but she was overwhelmed with the happenings and hadn't thought to see him here the moment she woke up.

"Paige." Anji smiled, sitting by her side with his arms crossed.

Paige felt the side of her face giving off coolness, so she was cared for. That reminded her,

"You did look after me when I was in a coma, right? Thank you so much." Eno had dropped the remarks about how her muscles were trained often, or she wouldn't make it out of bed this soon.

Anji was stunned. Never having anticipated her thanking him, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I was paid for it... Besides, you have only a test left, then you can go home with your cousin."
