Curse destroyed [R-18]

Amelia's breathing hitched when her gaze met his. Those golden eyes made her feel uneasy while a feeling of awe also arose in her heart.

But in the next moment, the golden light in Ashton's eyes flickered and disappeared. Along with it, the uneasy feeling also disappeared.

'What was that?' Amelia thought before shaking her head. 'No, that's not important.'

She then hurriedly asked, gently caressing his face with her tender fingertips while tears fell from her eyes, "H-Husband… how are you feeling?"

Ashton had a look of confusion in his eyes for the first few seconds before the corner of his lips lifted slightly into a smile and a weak voice left his mouth. "…Not too bad."

He then tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears, but couldn't move. So, he spoke instead, "Hey… why are you… crying? Aren't I alive? Or.. cough! You want to… make me sad?"

"No… no. I don't." Amelia hurriedly shook her head, wiped her tears and forced a smile on her face.
