[Bonus chapter] The Fountain

Theodore's consciousness was slowly returning back to him. He fluttered his eyes and slowly opened them. His eyes fell on the familiar ceiling and a soft smile appeared on his face. He tried to move his body but the wounds had still not healed and it was very hard for him to even move an inch.

He slowly turned his head to the side and saw that Adeline was sitting upright beside him but she was dozing off. Then he glanced out of the window to check how much time he was out for. "It is still dark so I must not have been unconscious for much long", he thought.

Theodore tried to move his hand to wake Adeline up but the wound on his stomach stung him and he let out a small grunt.
