Chapter 72

Damian walked past the dining hall, and sure enough, Leila, Dowager Amelia, Lyra, and Antara were all sitting quietly, sipping their tea as if nothing was happening.

Tanin gaped at them.

"Leila!" she called out. "Antara! DO SOMETHING!"

Leila took a sip of her tea. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Antara looked away, hiding a smile.

Even Dowager Amelia merely raised an eyebrow but didn't say a word.

Tanin couldn't believe it.

Damian carried her upstairs, ignoring her continued protests.

"Damian, I swear—I'll kill you!" she threatened.

He didn't react.

"Tanin, stop fighting. You're staying in bed, and that's final."

Before she could throw another insult at him, he reached their bedroom, pushed the door open with his foot, and dropped her on the bed.

Tanin bounced slightly from the impact.

She immediately tried to get up, but Damian pushed her back down with a single hand on her shoulder.
