Chapter 1813 Countess Yaya
Yaya coughed and coughed, feeling a sudden draft that shouldn't be there. 'Weren't the windows closed? Or did the maids secretly open them after she slept so she could get ill?' In her subconsciousness, Yaya asked these questions, slowly forcing her heavy eyelids open. Sleep was such a precious thing to her. You would think after staying in this tower with nowhere to all, sleep would be all she knew to do. But that was a lie. Every day, she was awakened by the troublesome maids, and given tasks to do within the tower. They were the ones assigned by her 'beloved' husband, the Count, to perform these duties. But since the bastard probably loved to see her in more agony, he overlooked their bullying, as they now have her these tasks they were supposed to do. That's right, they would come to her tower, chill and relax while watching her do the tasks they were supposed to do. Many maids even prayed to get assigned to clean her tower space because they knew it was like giving them a day off. Day in, day out, she slaved away, having little food in her keep. There was a time when she was so hungry she secretly caught a flying bird that perched by her window, killing it and eating it raw. Of course, they could starve her for a day or 2, but would never allow her to die. The time she fell into a coma, the best healers appeared to pull her back from the arms of death. With her body subconsciously trembling to the cold, Countess Yaya had no choice but to force her heavy eyelids open. It's just that she didn't expect to have her usual visitor this soon. Didn't he come in December? So why was he back already? He comes once a year and sometimes, twice, which is in summer when the sun is up. Instantly, Yaya's heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to her boy? Pah! Landon threw Protein bars and a juice box before she could speak, "Eat something. We have a long way to go."
Yaya's sunken face and overly large eyes widened in shock. "We?" Suddenly, she didn't know how to feel. Her eyes turned moist in a flash and swollen, her throat felt constricted and dry, and her mouth opened and closed nervously, wondering if this was a dream.
Yaya wanted to hug the strange man but was afraid of her clammy and dirty body soiling him. There was an ache at the bottom of her heart, as she finally showed Landon an expression for the first since he knew her. Smile. She was smiling and crying, silently in the most heart-wrenching way that tugged the strings in his heart. For some reason, she reminded Landon of Mother Kim's earlier days in Arcadina's Royal Palace. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"Thank you..." 2 words. 2 simple words conveyed everything in her heart. Landon couldn't stand the atmosphere that was threatening his eyeballs to grow wet. Rip!!l~
He tore the protein bar he threw at her earlier and quickly put it in her mouth, "Don't thank me yet. We still have a long way to go."
In no time... Crunch, crunch~
Slurp, slurp~
Yaya finished the goods thrown her way and they were finally ready to go. But... but... after crying and eating, her body reacted, wanting her to nap and make up for her serious lack of sleep.
"Let's g--... zzzzz~" Landon felt it funny, taking a blanket out of his space, wrapping it around the woman and finally tying it around himself too. Now, he looked like he was carrying a Gigantic baby all wrapped up. She also had a Beanie cap and a scarf tied around her neck. "So warm~" Yaya murmured in her sleep with a smile. "_"
Landon shook his head wryly, "What a woman."
Like that, she and Landon were gone. Swish! Vanished into the night. But where will they go?
