227. Lord Garth Arrives

"Are you sure there isn't anything you're keeping away from me?"

Jael stared down at Mauve as he asked the question. He tried to keep a straight face at her reaction but he could see the confusion and slight fear in her eyes. He also did not miss the sudden rise of her heartbeat. 

There was something even if it wasn't what he might be thinking. The worst part was he didn't have a single clue what this might be about. His brows dipped slightly as he waited for her to speak. 

He had accompanied her to see the physician because he thought she probably had something to tell him and to also prevent the physician from giving Mauve any kind of hint toward his request.

He didn't think he would get any response from her but he wanted to see if she was willing to tell him.

The silence dragged on for a second and just as she was about to open her mouth to speak a long knock rang out. Jael made no move to answer the door.
