Chapter 146
King Lucien has fallen asleep when he felt the body beneath his head stir.
He woke and raised his head from her belly to look at Danika. His hand still clutched hers. King Lucien knows that it's way past midnight, but he did not think about that.
Danika's swollen eyes slowly slid open, she looked at him. Her eyes looks so tired and sleepy.
"My King..." She whispered so tiredly.
"I wasn't here." He groaned. He never expected to stay until she wakes. She was never supposed to know that he was here.
Her eyes blinked slowly, "No... I know you're here..."
He averted his eyes. "Doesn't matter. You're heavily induced with pills and portions, you won't remember a thing in the morning."
"I remembered... the last time."
"You did?"
"Yes... You said you have forgotten... what it's like to laugh..."
Silence. His eyes was taking in the bandage on her thigh. "It doesn't matter. You're more induced this time."
