Chapter 38: Chapter 38

“This is good news Mister Jaccobich. She’s recovering fast than I expected. It’s still a week after she takes the prescription, and the lady is doing well. I guess there’s nothing to worry about,” the doctor said as he was looking at my current records. I was sitting at the side of the bed, looking at both Reign and the doctor.

The current room I was in was surrounded by blue, and even though I know who owns this room, it still doesn’t seem to sink into my brain. For the whole week, I slept here, in Reign’s room. I wonder where he slept while I was here. Reign’s room is too big, and if you look closely, everything is immaculate. Daily cleaned by the maids.

I didn’t speak because the doctor was talking to Reign. I also recovered my voice the other day, but I was still careful because my throat was still a bit sore.

“Thanks for the regular check you do for her, Doc,” Reign said, and then he looked at me. His sudden stare flushed me. I averted my eyes away from him.

“No need to thank me. Your woman is lucky that you have your greenhouse here, and there’s a lot of leafy green vegetables that consist of vitamin k1. Also, drop the formalities Reign. Just call me by name,”

“You started formally calling me. I’ll return the favor,” Reign said. Their conversation took a long way. I don’t understand anything, but it’s all about my condition.

When the doctor left, Reign approached me immediately and sat beside me. He let out a sigh and looked at me firmly, “Thank God that you’re recovering. Greg said that maybe in a month, you’d fully recover,” he said while his blue eyes were staring at me.

I nodded, “Thank you so much, Reign,” my voice was a bit throaty, “If it weren’t for you, I might be doomed. So I must be the one thanking God and not you,” I said and smiled at him. He just shrugged and then suddenly cupped my rested hands.

“As long as you are alive, I’m fine,” Reign suddenly moved to me and then put his right hand on the back of my head and pulled it closer to his face. He then kissed me on my forehead, causing my blood and heart to pump furiously.

Until this day, I am still really confused as to why he is doing this to me. Whenever my life is in danger, Reign is always there to save me. I wanted to ask him how he was feeling, but I didn’t have the courage.

I wonder if I might be the one giving malice to what he shows towards me. It’s better to keep quiet. Yes, I already feel something strange about Reign, but I’m not sure about it.

He suddenly took his face away from me and immediately moved his hands on my head to my cheek. He stared at me, so I felt weird, I don’t know, but I was thrilled. His manly smell attracts my nose.

Reign was staring at me intensely. I also stared into his blue eyes even though I knew they would drown me, “I have to tell you something,” I said to broke the awkward situation building between us.

I was sitting on the side of the bed while Reign was beside me. I turned slightly away from him. He moved closer to me without taking his eyes off me, “What is it?”

I was hesitant whether to say it or not, but I had no choice. I have wanted to open this with Reign for a long time, which is the right time I have been waiting for. I took a deep breath before speaking.

“I have a sister,” I said and then paused. I looked at Reign’s reaction, but I was shocked when he seems to already know about this, “She’s the reason why I wanted to escape here,” I continued. Reign just stared at me. I thought he wouldn’t say a thing.

“Is she the reason why you want to run away from me and not because you just want to get away from me?” I shrugged. I need to tell him the truth. I took my hands from him and immediately glued them together. I was nervous, but I need to be honest.

I had to tell Reign because he had saved me several times, and I didn’t want to doubt his intentions towards me.

“Honestly, at first, I wanted to leave and escape because I didn’t know what kind of person you were. What kind of person bought me out at the auction,” I looked at him, and I saw his worried eyes looking at me, “In short, I was scared. Especially during times when you almost killed a person. I don’t know, but I felt like I was in danger while you are with me,”

Reign didn’t say a word, so I just continued, “My sister is only my second reason why I want to leave here. But the biggest mistake I made was because thinking that you are dangerous and it was a setback. You are the one who always saved and keeps me out of danger. I want to say sorry and compensate for everything,” I sincerely said.

Reign still didn’t say a word and keep his blue eyes staring at me, “I want to be a maid in this house so that I can pay for everything you did for me,” I said when I saw that there was no reaction in Reign’s face. I want to ask if he is deaf or if he heard what I said.

I was surprised when he reached for my right hand and immediately took it to his face. He bent down his head, and suddenly, Reign gently kissed the back of my hand. A million voltages of electricity spread through my body. I was frozen.

“You don’t have to be a maid to pay me. Stay by my side, and you will be settled for everything,” Reign said and took my hand. He gave it another long kiss and immediately looked at me while not letting go of my hands. I don’t know what I will react to his unexpected actions.

I wanted to speak, but I couldn’t open my mouth. I was still surprised about what Reign did, “About your sister. Russiana, right?” I was even more surprised when he casually mentioned my sister’s name, “It’s already taken care of. She’s safe and well, so rests assured,” he then gently cupped my cheeks.

I was dumbfounded. All this time, I was worried for nothing, “How did you know about my sister?” Reign smiled and let go of my hand and my cheeks.

“I already settled everything before bringing you to my island,” I couldn’t understand what he meant about Reign’s words. He suddenly stood up and immediately placed his hand in front of me. I looked at him as he waited for me to pick up his invitation to come up from being seated, “Let’s go to the shore,”

I still wanted to ask about things, but all my anxiety was gone because of what Reign have said. If Russiana is in good condition, I would have no reason to run away from his hands anymore.

Although I don’t know, and I’m still not sure how I feel and how Reign feels about me, there’s nothing wrong with knowing him. I want to get to know Reign better than anyone. He became my savior countless times. If he wanted me to stay by his side, I would do so voluntarily.

I don’t know, but I smiled and immediately took his hand. I welcomed him to be part of my life, and I was relieved that he was the first man I wanted to enter my life.
