Chapter 224: Promise?

Varian sighed in relief as Sia slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at him silently and waited for him to speak.

He didn't.

Varian just stared at her in a daze. As he recalled the incident, he realized how dangerous it was.

Finally, Sia whimpered. "Angry?"

She lied that she was fine. And she hid the truth about the strange feeling.

"No." Varian shook his head with a smile.

But Sia was not relieved.

She shrank back into the bed and glanced at the clock with the corner of her eyes.

Six hours!

It was six hours since they returned!

Looking back at Varian's haggard face, a pang of guilt rose in her heart.

He was already exhausted from fighting the Raging Lion…yet he stayed with her for six hours.

As for why was she certain that he stayed with her for six hours?

…because she'd do the same.

"I'm sorry for lying about my condition." Sia finally said.
