Chapter 160: A Missing Piece

Another night passed.

With my body still severely injured, I was unable to feel my mana and Ki circuits and core which left me greatly vulnerable.

Thankfully, the lady had been guarding me non-stop through the time I was unconscious. She had been awake for the entire ten days. We shared a moment in the night before she clasped at my chest and told me about her thoughts. How she had been scared that I would forget her. How it was the first time she had felt that she needed someone's approval. How she was afraid somewhere deep down that maybe she would annoy me with anything.

She was deeply confused by all these feelings.

I, too, let myself freely talk about things. I don't remember when the two of us fell asleep.

And now, morning had come with the lady resting her head against my bed. She was fast asleep for the first time since the day I had been taken away. What had been ten days for me were barely ten hours here.

Sitting up on the bed, I turned my gaze to the window.
