Chapter 174: “Mind Link”
*Zareen*
I feel weak.
But the itch is gone.
I want to smile and dance and scream and laugh. But I feel too weak.
“You will regain strength slowly, you went through a high-stressing situation, but you survived.” I hear his soft whisper in my ear.
That is true, I am in his arms, and he is taking me to my room. I want to say thank you, I know I should, but I am too weak. Am I?
Why is it so hard for me to let others help me? Why is it so hard for me to let them be closer to me? Why is it that I can’t say thank you? I hold myself tighter to him, this stranger who has helped me survive the hardest thing in my life.
“Is she awake? Can she hear me?” I hear my father say. Oh no, he must be so worried for me, I should really say something now.
“She is going to be ok now, Aeolus. But at the moment she is slowly recovering her energy and strength. She will be awake and be talking to us all in a few hours.”
