The Breakthrough (2)

Valeria and Merisela, who were beside them, nodded. 

"Alright," Orion responded.

The leaders of the Healers' Association's various branches turned to give Seraphina a nod before exiting the room.

After they had gone, Orion, the Village Chief, and Stronghold Leader Zogar finally noticed a small box in the centre of the table. Their eyes were fixed on it as they approached because they sensed that something was amiss with the container.

"It's good that you're finally back, husband," Seraphina abruptly said.

Orion snapped out of his thoughts and focused on her, nodding. "I wasn't expecting to wrap things up this early, though. Fortunately, everything worked out well for the best," he responded.

Seraphina nodded. She decided to table the rest of the conversation for when she returned home and instead enjoyed the remainder of her day with him.
