295: DREAMS

DREAMS

Cane cradled Iris in his arms, as she was sitting on his laps, because Hanna said not to lay her down, since she couldn't breathe, while Iris went out and in of consciousness. 0

"I need to go to the bathroom…" Iris said in weak voice.

She didn't realize she was eating strawberry, because the taste of the food was like sand in her mouth, as her anxiety flared up upon being so close with Kellan.

At first, Cane thought Iris's reaction was because of the prince, but when he learned it was her allergic, he went back to square one again.

"What…?" Iris was mortified when Cane reached to her undergarment. "What are… you doing?"

"I will help you." Cane thought she was going to take a pee because she drank so much, but Iris stopped him from taking off her undergarment.

"I want to vomit…" If she was not this pale, her face would be so bright red. How could Cane be so casual about this thing? There was a time when Cane wiped her whole body and he didn't even change his expression to see her nakedness.

Cane then pulled a water bucket from under the bed. Hanna had said before she left, Iris would probably want to throw up, so he asked someone to prepare this.

"No, I want to go to the bathroom…" Iris didn't want to vomit in front of Cane, it was embarrassing.

Yet, Cane had seen something more embarrassing and had touched the dirtiest thing in this realm, a vomit didn't bother him.

"Just do it here," Cane said gently.

Iris shook her head, but it only made her more nauseated, she gritted her teeth, stubbornly holding back this uncomfortable feeling, but Cane pulled the water bucket close to her and bend her neck, as he massaged her back frequently, to help her eased the discomfort.

No longer could hold it back, Iris regurgitated onto the bucket, the sound was so embarrassing, she tried to push Cane away, but it was only a futile attempt, as she couldn't stop herself from emptying her stomach.

On the other hand, Cane didn't even flinch when he heard the sound, neither he furrowed his brows. If anything, the only thing made him dissatisfied was to see how much Iris was in pain. Unconsciously, he took a mental note of this incident, making sure it would never happen again in the future.

Iris kept vomiting, even after there was nothing coming out of her mouth, as she felt so bitter and exhausted. She lifted her head and Cane wiped her mouth with clean towel, he put away the bucket and cradled her again against his chest. Her body was so cold, thus he asked someone to light up one more brazier inside the room, even though it was already so hot for him.

"Drink this," Cane said, as he brought the glass to her mouth, so she could drink it easily. He caressed her back to ease her pain.

Iris drank half of the water, but her mouth felt so bitter, even the warm water taste so distasteful in her mouth.

An hour later, when Iris finally fell asleep again, Kellan entered the room, a royal warrior pushed his wheelchair and left him inside, as he walked out of the room.

"How is she?" Kellan asked, his expression filled with concern. "I heard the healer can't help because her body is not responsive to the healing power."

"Yes." Cane pulled a blanket and covered Iris body, up to her face, so from Kellan's point of view, he could only see her curly, auburn hair. "How do you know she has allergic to strawberry?"

"I was friend with Masson, he told me and Iris confirmed it." Kellan smiled helplessly. "I have told you before, I used to be pretty close with her when she was still little, but I think she forgot after a decade we never met each other again, after all a lot of things happened during that period of time. I am not surprise she forgot."

Cane said nothing, but his dark eyes were akin to a black hole, they were so mysterious, as if he was holding thousand of secrets.

"You can stay here for as long as you want. Please, take this as my apology for not realizing it soon. I completely forgot about her allergic."

"You don't need to be sorry, I am thankful for that small information you still remembered. You remember it in time."

After they exchanged a few pleasantries, Kellan withdrew and wished for Iris fast recovery. He didn't forget to tell Cane to ask anything he needed.

Meanwhile, Iris was having trouble in her sleep, she was very restless because these familiar dreams kept coming to her mind and this time it was a little bit longer than the last time.

She was in the empty hall again with the five swords and a mysterious person, staring at her for the distance away, but this time, she managed to tell that this person was a woman, she had curly hair with the same color like hers, but then, her dream stopped and she suddenly was inside her bedroom, staring at the bleak winter morning, as snow piled up on the ground.

Whenever winter came, she couldn't go out, because she easily got sick whenever she felt very cold.

She was alone in her room when someone entered and she saw him for the first time, he was a little bit older than her brother, but she recognized him immediately.

"Prince Kellan," Iris said, she blinked her blue eyes when she watched the prince smiled at her warmly and she smiled back at him, it was a rare occasion for someone to treat her nicely.

"Hello," prince Kellan said, as he closed the door behind him and then approached little Iris, who was excited to see him.

"Are you playing with me today?" little Iris asked, her eyes lit up enthusiastically, because the prince finally came to play with her.
