“Understood.”
Mekhi rose, adjusted the collar of his military uniform, and said with indifference, “You were frightened Last night. Go back to sleep.
I’ll arrange for food to be brought to your room later.”
“Wait!”
She halted him and gazed up at him.
“Last night, before I passed out, someone hit me on the head and tried to strangle me, saying that I shouldn’t exist in this world. Was that person our mother?”
He settled back down and gave her shoulder a reassuring pat.
He softened his tone and replied, “No, nobody wants to strangle you.

You slipped, fell, and hit your head on the corner of the table.

Was it all in her head because she was very scared?
Noelle inquired skeptically, “When will I be able to meet our mother?”
Mekhi froze and his eyes filled with sorrow.
“She caught a cold, and she doesn’t want you to catch it too. It may take a few days for her to recover, but at the latest, you’ll definitely meet our loving and beautiful mother at the banquet.”
“She caught a cold? I can take care of her! I’m tougher than most girls. I won’t get infected.”
“But you are injured now. I don’t think it’s a good idea.” He narrowed his eyes and emphasized sternly, “Since you’re back, you need to obey the rules!”
Noelle felt frustrated and just nodded.
Mekhi said a few more words before leaving the room.
Immediately he left, she swiftly got out of bed and walked up to the mirror. There was no visible mark on her slender neck. Yet, she still felt a faint ache.
