Chapter 27

At first, Rania only felt the discomfort in her lower abdomen, a pain that she could ignore. Her pain tolerance was quite high, so when the discomfort turned very bad, and she was in agony, all she did was curling herself into a ball, and closed her eyes, praying the pain would go away quickly.

However, it didn’t. If anything, it got worse.

Rania gritted her teeth, but her stomach was in so much pain, it felt like someone was stabbing her with dagger. She didn’t dare to make a sound, as layer of sweat covered her forehead, and she pressed her palms against her stomach, hoping it was enough to alleviate the pain. It didn’t.

And now, because of the pain, she felt her ears were ringing and her vision was blurry, she tried to summon her strength, so she could walk out of the bedroom, and asked someone for a healer, but she couldn’t. The pain was too much.

When Rania thought, she would pass out, someone suddenly lifted her body, but she was too weak, to even open her eyes, and the only thing she could do was to whimper softly. She wanted to see who was this person, who was carrying her.

But, she didn’t need to do that, because she already knew who was it. His overbearing presence caused turmoil within her, but at the same time, it fulfilled the longing in her heart.

Even so, the pain on her stomach persisted. She didn’t know where he carried her, he said something in a harsh tone, but she couldn’t decipher the words he was saying. Her ringing ears didn’t help.

And when Rania was finally laid down, the soft mattress didn’t over comfort like the king’s arms did. She wanted to be carried by him. She was so close to him, his presence and his body heat felt almost comfortable to her skin.

Because of the position, her face was pressed against his chest, so she could hear his strong heartbeat. This was the second time, she felt it, and somehow, it brought peace to her mind, before it was seized by her trauma and she shut herself down.

Once Rania was on the bed, someone else touched her. A healer? She could feel the warm healing ability that suffused into her skin.

Her father had taken her to a healer when she was sick years ago, when she was little, and this was the same feeling.

And slowly, but eventually, the pain decreased, and she could breathe evenly again.

However, the whole ordeal had left Rania exhausted, she had this urge to close her eyes, and just fell asleep, thus that was what she did.

And the last thing she heard was the king’s furious voice, which made her flinch, shouting at someone to tell him about what happened to her.

“What the hell happened to her?!” Maximus’s brows furrowed deeply, as he stared at Rania’s slowly relaxed body, the pain seemed decreased significantly after Lula, the healer, checked on her.
