He cares about you

"When does she wake up, Master?" Gloria asked the healer, holding Ren's hand. Worry etched her face. 

"The poison is gone. Now, it all depends on her stamina. She was lucky that Your Majesty broke that bracelet in time." The healer explained.

Ren could hear their conversation as awareness seeped into her clouded mind. She could no longer sense the heavy and burning weight of the bracelet on her wrist. How had her husband removed it?

It was the second time since their marriage that he had saved her life. She felt her heartbeat quicken. Why did she strangely crave so much to see him, to feel his warmth surrounding her?

Her fingers twitched slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered. Her mouth was dry, and her throat felt itchy. She squeezed her eyes shut and groaned.

"Oh, look, Master Healer! She is waking up," Gloria's voice was excited.
