Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 136

Gavon didn’t feel like eating so he just nodded his head and concentrated on Ivy. Ronald left the room to give them privacy, after he left Ivy slowly opened his eyes.

Ivy’s eyes squinted but she adjusted to the light inside the room, she looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar room. She immediately alerted but she felt a warm hand on her hand. She turned her head and looked at Gavon who was looking down, it seemed like he was lost in thoughts.

Ivy’s eyes sting after seeing Gavon, she felt her lips are dry and her throat is in pain but she called him with a hoarse voice “G-Gavon”

Gavon immediately snapped his head towards Ivy’s direction and asked “Ivy, you… are you feeling good? Do you want me to call the doctor? Doc…”

“Gavon,” Ivy stopped him and caught his hand.

Gavon stopped in his tracks and looked at her, Ivy tried to sit and he helped her to sit comfortably. After that Ivy patted the side of the bed, Gavon sat beside her and looked at her worriedly.

He handed water to her and Ivy drank them slowly to not make her throat hurt even more. After making sure she had enough she looked at Gavon.

“Gav, I am sorry.” Ivy started.

Gavon froze in his spot when Ivy called him with the most intimate name, he never thought that someone would call him like that and Ivy is calling him even after all this is done, now he felt incredibly happy.

“Don’t be, I am the one who didn’t protect you. I am sorry, Ivy” Gavon added.

Ivy shook her head and continued “Gav, you know I am so scared the moment I am not able to save Lyo. I felt that all my knowledge was a waste in that serious situation. And after that, I opened my eyes in a strange place and that fellow spoke ill of you.”

Ivy’s voice shook by remembering the events taken place in a single day, out of all days she fought with Gavon on this day and it was their first fight. And suddenly she was taken away from him which left a sour taste in her heart. No one knows the helplessness and despair she went through those hours.

“But… I didn’t let him speak like that. I spoke proudly of you which made him angry. You have to see his face Gavon” Ivy smiled and at the same, her eyes turned red with fear. Tears rolled down which made her look miserable and feeble.

Gavon didn’t stand this and hugged her tightly, he never forgave himself for making Ivy go through hell because of his deeds. Ivy felt the familiar warmth and she broke.

Ivy cried pitifully thinking about the situation, the way Achrel looked at her, the way he spoke to her, the way he slapped her, the way he treated her made her cry even harder. After some time, Ivy calmed down and separated from Gavon.

At the same time, her stomach growled with hunger. Ivy wiped her tears and chuckled with embarrassment. Gavon then remembered that she didn’t eat anything, he stood up and went towards the washroom to get some warm water to wash her face. Gavon didn’t let her do anything and he cleaned the face to which Ivy obliged without any conditions.

Gavon then gets the food which Ronald keeps beside them on the table. He touched the food which is quite warm and it is not cold yet. He wants to go and heat it but he is concerned that Ivy will get hungry.

Gavon looked at Ivy with hesitation and asked “Ivy, the food is not hot. Will you eat now or wait for a few minutes? I will go and heat the food.”

Ivy chuckled seeing Gavon’s expression, she wanted to say to heat it but her stomach growled again. Gavon threw the decision of heating outside of the window and came towards “Leave it. Eat it, it is still warm.”

Gavon sat beside her and opened the bowl which contained porridge, he fed her not letting Ivy do anything. Ivy also fed him seeing his situation and she understood that he also didn’t eat anything. Gavon rejected but seeing Ivy pleading eyes he gave in and ate along with her.

After having their late-night supper they both went to bed, no one spoke anything about the incident and just lay in each other embrace silently. They both fell into a deep slumber as the medicines took effect on them.

The next day in the court everyone is astonished by knowing that the King went to the borders for a sudden visit which made them curious about the sudden visit. Everyone started brewing their own story and spreading them.

Bratton, Simon didn’t attend the palace court which made the ministers form quite believable stories. Veronica was also surprised when she heard the King went alone to bring the Prince back, she felt happy and angry with the king’s decision. She was happy for bringing Prince back to the kingdom and angry for not letting her go along with him.

She suppressed all her gloominess and went to meet her daughter to inform her about the good news. She didn’t bother to check the news about Ivy’s abduction as she is confident that even if Ivy returns she will be a lifeless human, who will remain normal after being harassed by some unknown culprit, and soon rumors will spread about her chastity once this incident is revealed.

With that thought, she went to meet her daughter to make her prepare for the upcoming marriage. Veronica reached the abandoned palace where Andrea is residing, it is poorly guarded and no one passes through this place as it is abandoned and situated in the corner.

No one is able to escape from here as well because there is no escape behind this palace and if one wants to leave they have to walk through the other palaces where the security is high. So no one is guarding this place.

Veronica passed through those palaces and reached the abandoned palace and went inside, only one servant is sent to take care of Princess’s needs. Veronica arranges for her secretly to make sure her daughter is eating three meals.

The whole place is quiet, only the leaves and bird sounds can be heard. Veronica entered the palace and went towards her daughter’s room. After entering the room she saw Andrea sitting near the window who was looking outside and lost in thoughts.

“Andrea,” Veronica called her softly, after coming to this place Andrea threw a few tantrums at the start, and slowly she became silent.

Veronica found it weird but she didn’t bother about that as she got some peace from her daughter’s tantrums. Andrea turned and looked at Mother before standing to greet her.

“Mother” Andrea called softly and looked down.

Veronica went towards her and took her hands “Andrea, I got some good news.”

Andrea lifted her head and a small spark lit in her eyes “What is it?”

Veronica’s smile widen and informed with a sneer “That b*tch who caused you this misery is now in the hands of the ruthless enemy, no one knows whether she will come in one piece. Even if she comes there is no guarantee that she is pure.”

Andrea’s eyes dimmed and took back her hands and nodded her head “Okay Mother.”

Veronica was caught off guard with her reaction “Andrea, are you not happy?”

Andrea smiled a little and replied “I am happy, mother, but I thought you came to take me back or cancel the marriage. But it is none of those.”

Veronica frowned “Andrea, remember this marriage should happen no matter what. Prepare for it. And whether you are going back to the palace depends on your brother. He seems to awaken Drackston blood.”

While speaking about Aaron, Veronica’s eyes were twinkled with happiness, Andrea’s blood boiled seeing her expression and sneered inside.

“Okay, Mother.” Andrea didn’t speak further and sat silently. Veronica talked for a few minutes and left the palace.. Once she left Andrea’s eyes turned dark with anger, she called the maid who is helping her in cleaning the palace.
