Arthur woke up due to a feeling of suffocation.
Feeling the pressure on his chest, Arthur looked down to see Pendragon, his body coiled around Arthur's neck, sound asleep on his chest.
In the midst of long breaths, Pendragon was sleeping soundly.
Arthur sighed helplessly.
He had almost thought he was experiencing sleep paralysis.
He glanced at the exceptionally clean skylight in the corridor.
The sky was beginning to lighten.
And there were faint noises coming from the kitchen.
Clearly, Ms. Anna, who had cleaned No. 2 Cork Street overnight, was preparing breakfast for Arthur and the soon-to-return Marinda.
Arthur sniffed.
It was his favorite meatball soup, pan-fried bread, and bean sprout side dish.
These were the dishes Ms. Anna had replicated after Arthur had told her about them.
Arthur had great respect for the lady's culinary Talent.
