When everything turned black and made me unconscious, I had no idea who the hell carried me back to the room. Someone was breathing rapidly and seemed to be too nervous for me.}
“Vera, I know you will be fine. Don’t be afraid too much,” said someone, sounding like a familiar voice of a man.§ However, since my eyes were shut, I could not guess who it was from. But I could tell, based on the voice, that it seemed to be Callum. I still had no assurance.
But then again, Callum wasn’t that gentle to me at all. He even wanted to kill me.
Later, I fell asleep and I didn’t know how many hours had passed. I suddenly regained consciousness, but I still hadn’t opened my eyes. I only heard a conversation between Callum and someone who seemed to be a physician.}
The doctor sighed and said, “General, Miss Vera’s body is frail, mostly because she hasn’t been eating enough and exposed to cold air all year round. Also, she’s been given too many strong medicines lately. I’m afraid that she needs to take better care of herself!“}
“Weak?” Callum asked, too confused to understand what he had said. He added, “How come? Malnutrition is mostly due to her picky eating in the army. But what’s the matter with this cold air?”
Callum’s expression darkened as he held onto the physician and asked again, “What about the strong drugs?“}
With that, the physician’s face was somewhat surprised.}
“General, you don’t know?“}
