Chapter 194: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (58)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (58) ༻

The frequency of Cien’s visits to Ian’s hospital room increased as the days went by.

Of course, to do so was not a crime.

As one of the parties involved in the incident, Cien couldn’t be blamed for wanting to take care of him in the desire to apologize to Ian.

However, whenever the Imperial Princess visited Ian, like a sinner avoiding the light, she involuntarily suppressed her presence.

Even someone like Leto or Celine, who was well-known as Ian’s closest friend, or high-ranking nobles like Delphine and Elsie couldn’t visit his hospital room. Using her authority to meet Ian felt both embarrassing and awkward in such a situation.

They all waited in front of the temple and blankly waited for Ian.

While Celine crouched against the wall, looking down at the ground, Leto would sigh and slap the back of his head. This action would inevitably anger Celine, while Seria indifferently bit her nails next to them, her eyes devoid of life.

Emma made several trips to the temple, making an effort to bring food and potions. However, hearing that one of the causes of Ian’s injury was excessive potion use made her stagger back in shock.

Delphine, without saying a word, occasionally stopped by to receive a summary report on the situation from the priests and then left. That was the calmest reaction, but on the contrary, the priests treating Ian became even more tense because of it.

Once she arrived, Elsie would stand guard in front of the temple, rain or shine, like a faithful dog.

Elsie’s younger brother, Lupine, would occasionally come and tap her shoulder, and only then would she take a break to have a meal. Except for those brief moments, Elsie was always in front of the temple.

Those waiting for Ian were not only limited to them.

In addition, numerous people who had been saved by Ian also visited the temple to inquire about Ian’s well-being.
