115 Amado's Secret Mission

"Ahhh!" Magee shouted.

" Shhhh...I'm dressing your wound. Quiet, the folks are still sleeping." George whispered while dipping some cotton on a watery ointment.

" Ha? what time is it now?" She slowly leaned on her pillow and trying to push his shoulder for a momentum so her back could fully settle.

" It's already 10 o'clock in the morning."

" Huh! I slept too much. Hmm, I smelled a wine. Did you..."

" Yes." He winked an eye on her where she could not further nag as he sheepishly looked at her.

It's positive. She took a deep breathe and smiled.

" I'll prepare for lunch since it's almost midday. " She tried to stand up but he put her back on bed.

" It's all done. I prepared everything." He smirked while she bowed her head.

" You should have worried too much."

" Mag, can I ask a favor."

" What's that." She smiled and was a bit surprised with his mood.

" One of my men has a problem, it's Amado. He kept mentioning your name and have even risked his life just to find you. With my consent and of course I'll stay beside you, can I show you to him so to find out if what he's so worried about. Or is he feeling, hah! it's daytime, nothing to worry, your brothers, Dad, Amá Sibal and I will be there. It's just that we'll help him or know exactly about his intentions. Do you remember the time he kept giving you camote leaves' juice? you were also annoyed by those gestures. I guess this is so timely when his eagerness to see you really overwhelmed us all there."

" Really? was he looking for me so badly? Hmm, what was it all about, I'm confused. Alright, we'll go to the wooden house after lunch. I understand your point. How about the folks, if you wake them up they might be disturbed."

" But it's not good for them to sleep too much. I'll go and wake them up while you may take a bath. Wait, I'll carry you there first."

While Magee was bathing George woke up Edward and Sibal.

" Aha! my headache!" Sibal smiled while Edward urged him to go back to the wooden house.

" But your lunch? I've prepared it already."

" No worries son, we'll have it there with the brothers." Then they left.

After lunch, Magee and George left the granite house, carried his wife carefully but when they've reached the dark tunnel, he took advantage of it and the walking time was delayed again.

Eventually, they reached the wooden house past 3 o'clock and everyone did not expect for them to come. Albrecht was running and was very happy to see her sister .

" Why you're so pale with a tangled hair? Ah, your wound gave you a miserable look now, huh!"

Then Magee looked sharply to George but he smiled with innocence and tied his wife's hair with his hanky

Baldur then arrived and gleefully greeted her. "Welcome back home, Mag." But your wound that Dad had told us, bear it. I know you can."

George moved closer to Baldur and requested Amado to join them that afternoon.
