Chapter 101
She eventually left the bedroom after changing the bandage on Molitia’s hand. Molitia then heaved a sigh while still being covered by a thick blanket all over her body.
“I shouldn’t have cried that much yesterday…”
She regretted it—albeit a little belated—but still, her light-headedness hadn’t returned normal just yet. The bitter medicine was just soothing her dizziness at most.
“Just take a nap.”
Raven touched her hair, ever so gently.
“The doctor had advised you to sleep tight. So, close your eyes and sleep well.”
“But…”
Raven’s hand eventually blocked her view. As he was saying that, a clear voice had suddenly popped out while she was closing her eyes gently.
“…we were supposed to go out.”
“Don’t worry. Once you’re no longer sick, I’ll take you out anytime.”
Despite Raven’s soothing words, Molitia still couldn’t easily hide her dismay. Her brow kept on frowning by itself to show how upset she was with herself—not towards others.
“It was going to be my first time to go out with you, so I really wanted to be together with you. Plus, I could no longer see the streets…”
Molitia’s words had left him pondering, albeit briefly.
“Then, can you wait for a little while?”
“What?”
Molitia’s lips immediately drew into a circle as he lifted his hands sideways.
“It’s currently too early in the morning, but I’ll definitely make an arrangement to go out with you this afternoon.”
“Really?”
The corners of Raven’s mouth were slightly raised at the surprise look on her face.
“Therefore, sleep tight for right now instead.”
He blocked her view yet again as if he was pressing on Molitia’s head softly. Then, she tried to close her eyes gently within that presently darkened sight.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t fall asleep anytime soon after listening to such news. As she was still unable to compose her own excitement, her lips began to flutter once more.
“What about you?”
“I have some business to attend for now.”
“Are you going to work?”
“Yes, you can say that.”
“Please don’t overwork yourself.”
“You always say that.”
Raven’s words had immediately put a stop to those delightful lips. Her lips that were parted just now, were still wide open as if they were thinking of uttering something, but soon they straightened into a small line.
“Is that so? I guess it’s just a habit of mine.”
A habit. Raven’s eyebrows immediately twitched. It was crystal clear that the habit of hers hadn’t really stemmed from a fairly good situation.
Raven reached out his other hand before stroking her head. His soft hands then carefully run through her locks of hair.
“You don’t have to do that. I’m definitely alright.”
“Yes… I see.”
Molitia gradually began to doze off at the stroke of his delicate touch. It seemed that the medications that were provided by the doctor had brought together some soporific effect as well, which caused her to drowse rather quickly.
Soon after that, Molitia was already completely asleep by the time Raven had risen from the bed. There were some things that were left for him to do on her very behalf.

“Molitia, wake up.”
“Raven…?”
Molitia was finally awakened after she was slightly shaken. Her vision, which was still half-asleep, was already filled with Raven.
“How are you feeling?”
“I feel much better now. The medicine must have been working pretty well.”
“Can you move?”
She tried raising her upper body at the start of Raven’s words. Contrary to when it was in the morning, a clear mind had impeded her from lying down back again.
“Look at this, okay?”
But of course, Raven’s suspicions weren’t receding that easily. Ultimately, Molitia was able to clear his doubts completely only after she had gotten out of bed before walking around—at least once.
“Okay. So, we can shop now.”
“Then, please wait a little longer. I’ll get ready as soon as possible.”
“You don’t have to. I’m going to do it here.”
“What? What do you mean?”
Raven smiled mysteriously at Molitia’s puzzling voice.
“Just get ready for now, my dear wife.”
At the strike of Raven’s words, Molitia immediately tilted her head before she was quickly taken away by Lili and Pillen. She returned to the bedroom after being dressed up—as simple as possible—for him, who was already waiting outside.
