Chapter 67 - Eat Your Hug!!!
Adrik turned around to see her sitting up on the bed with her hand rubbing her blurry eyes.
"Yes, little wife." He answered her and walked back to sit near her. "I am sorry for leaving without telling you." He pulled her in and kissed her forehead.
Leia's eyes fluttered in confusion, and she gazed intently at him, as he drew her back. Was this Adrik or a clone? I mean, earlier, he was cold to her and now he's like a different person. He was acting like he used to before, towards her.
Adrik's brow creased a bit when he saw the blank expression on her face, and a low sigh escaped his lips. "I really am sorry. I actually went to the bathroom, only to see you sleeping peacefully in the tub, so I didn't wake you up because I didn't want to disturb your nap."
Hearing his words, Leia hurriedly pulled the blanket up and dragged her pyjamas down. Then she stared at her thighs and her face began to alter in terror. What the fuck? What the hell is going on? The wounds she had were gone. Not a scar, not a cut... just nothing was visible on her thighs anymore. It was as though she had never even gotten wounded in the first place. What in the world is happening to her? She is certain that it was neither a dream nor a hallucination.
Adrik, who saw the look of fear in her eyes, crinkled his brow and placed his hands on her cheeks. "Little wife, is... everything all right?" He asked her, with deep concern apparent in his gazes.
Leia fluttered her eyes and stared at him. "Um... ye-yes, everything is fine." She smiled nervously at him and moved to climb down from the bed. "I have to use the toilet." Without even waiting for his response, she hurriedly went into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her and locking it.
Adrik's face puckered deeply in displeasure, and his eyes narrowed as he gazed intently at the door. Why was his little wife behaving strangely? Is it because he said he saw her in the bathroom or what? He took a deep breath and got up from the bed.
He unwrapped the bandage around his belly and walked to the mirror. He stared at his side, only to see that his injuries were all healed and a half-smile emerged on his face. He still has to wrap a new bandage around it, or else if his little wife sees that it's healed, she might freak out, and then...
A low sigh escaped his lips, and he walked away from the mirror. He changed into a new set of home wear and ambled out of the room, then made his way downstairs.
...
Seated on the bathroom floor while wearing only a panty and the top of her pyjamas, Leia kept exhaling and inhaling, as her eyes quivered in disbelief.
It was impossible. The wounds were right there and she washed herself up and cleaned the injuries by herself. Just how could it be gone? No sign of an injury, just nothing at all.
'Mother, if you were here, I wouldn't be this scared. We could at least try to find a solution.' She threw her head back as she thought, and placed her hands on her knees. She would have told Adrik, but would he even believe her? Wouldn't he think she's crazy? A deep breath escaped her nose and she shut her eyes.

With his legs crossed and his phone in hand, Adrik waited patiently for Alex. He actually has no idea how to plan a date, but no worries, that's what Googles are for.
He can simply use Google to find a variety of interesting ideas. He chuckled to himself and typed on his phone.
Different opinions and ideas popped up on Google and a smile spread across his lips.
'Nice.' he thought and shook his head as he stared at one suggestion that really caught his attention.
A few minutes later, and with his blonde hair tossed messily, Alex walked into the mansion and made his way to sit on the couch opposite Adrik. "Supreme Alpha." He gave a respectful bow and sat down on the sofa.
Adrik raised his head to glance at him, and his brow creased at how messed up Alex looked. His shirt had its three-button open and his tie was loose as though he had just fought. "Why do you look so messed up?" He dropped his phone and interlocked his hands.
"Oh, it was just a little trouble I had coming back, but I am all good." Alex smiled as he answered and sat up on the couch.
Adrik nodded at him and abruptly threw his phone at him. "I want everything there to be ready tomorrow."
Alex blinked his eyes and turned the phone off. He stared at the screen, and his face altered in confusion. "Supreme Alpha, you want me to..."
"Yes, get it done before 6 pm tomorrow." Adrik glanced at him and stood up from the sofa. "It mustn't be later than that." With that being said, he walked away towards the elevator.
Alex glanced at the phone, then at Adrik, and an abrupt smile emerged on his face. 'Haha... he's taking her on a date.' He shook his head and stood up from the couch before walking away to his room. Tomorrow is going to be stressful for him.
....
Adrik made his way to their room and stepped in, then shut the doors behind him. He closed the windows as it felt chilly, and strolled to the bed to lie down beside Leia.
Leia, who noticed him when he came in, opened her eyes and turned around on the bed. "Adrik..." She whispered his name, and Adrik turned to face her. He smiled at her and caressed her cheek. "Is there anything wrong, little wife?"
"You don't hold me to sleep anymore unless I ask you to. Why?" Leia asked, and bit her lower lip in a bit of embarrassment.
Adrik gazed at her for a while and chuckled softly. "I thought you didn't like it." He raised his brow and stared at her.
"Urgh." Leia annoyedly punched his chest that was covered by a robe and clicked her tongue in a bit of anger. "Who said I didn't? If I don't like it, do you think I will let you do that?" She scoffed and turned around, leaving her back to face him. "Eat your hug!"
Adrik's eyes fluttered and his lips began to curl up as he resisted himself from laughing out loud at her behavior.
"Don't stop yourself from laughing, or your face may blow up," Leia muttered, still refusing to turn and face him.
Adrik's face turned blank immediately, and he slowly smiled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her closer to him. Then he placed his head on her neck and smelled her. "I will always hug you to sleep.." Leia smiled at his words and peacefully closed her eyes as she enjoyed the comfort and warmth of his body.
