Chapter 85 – Good friends.
I sat beside Aisha, waiting for her to wake up. I watched her closely to make sure nothing went wrong while she slept. Fortunately, she slept peacefully.
And then.
"Mmm..." A soft groan escaped her lips as her body began to move. Her eyes slowly opened, and Aisha saw me sitting beside the bed. I smiled at her, and her eyes widened in surprise.
She blinked a few times as if trying to make sure what she was seeing was real.
"Luan? What are you doing here?" Aisha sat up and began to crawl out of bed, but I stopped her.
"Hey, hey, just stay in the bed. I found you passed out in the bathroom. I thought you were a strong woman. What happened?" I smiled at her, and she let out a sigh and a weak laugh.
"I'm sorry, I ended up doing something I shouldn't have."
"What?" I asked. Aisha doesn't know that I know she was pregnant. She's probably going to lie to me.
"I took an unknown medication for a headache, and it made me pass out, hahaha."
Does she not know that I saw the blood? Does she want me to believe a headache medicine caused that?
'But the potion or medicine she took to abort the child is extremely strong and dangerous. She could have died if she weren't as strong as she is. What on earth did she take?'
"Good thing I found you in time, you could've caught a cold lying on the bathroom floor."
"How embarrassing. I didn't imagine you'd see me like this." Aisha smiled bitterly. "But I'm glad you're here and worried about me."
"Of course, I'd be worried about you. We're good friends."
"Friends..." Aisha lowered her head and looked at her own hands. "Friends, huh? I see. Hahaha." She lay down again, pulling the blanket over herself and turning her back to me.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling better, just a bit of a stomachache. I should be fine soon."
"..."
"Luan, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go ahead."
But she smelled bad and thought it best to take a bath. And, of course, she asked for my help.
I didn't mind helping her in cleaning her entire body. She was stained with blood, but I said nothing, and she didn't bother making any excuses. Once clean, she dressed in fresh clothes and went to bed.
Of course, I changed her bed sheets.
As soon as Aisha lay down, I opened my Status to check.
It was extremely surprising.
Aisha Belka - 71% (Condition - Stable)
Aisha's percentage had increased a lot! This is probably because of the time we spent together today. I helped her, and it made her really happy. I couldn't help but feel happy, too.
Seeing Aisha smile is wonderful.
"What is it? Why are you staring at me?"
"You're beautiful. It's great to see you well, and you're smiling so much." I said. Aisha was surprised. She let out a soft laugh.
"Hahaha, you're complimenting me too much. But thank you, that makes me happy." Aisha seemed a bit embarrassed. She burrowed under the blanket, hiding her face. "Would you like to sleep here with me tonight?" Aisha asked.
"Sleep here? Are you sure?"
"Of course, the Goddess won't mind. I don't want to be alone tonight."
"..."
We stayed silent for a few seconds, and I accepted her offer.
"Sure, but I need to take a bath too."
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting here."
"What's this? Are you planning something? Even though you're still feeling tired?"
"No, I just want to sleep while hugging you..." Aisha said softly.
For some reason, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
