Chapter 53: Were you worried?

Chapter 53: Were you worried?

It was now nighttime when Seth had finally left alone with Lara in his room as the latter engaged in wiping Seth's body with warm wipes.

She herself chose to follow Seth without any orders and the determination in her servitude left Valarie with no choice rather than to let her assist the young master.

During the daytime, some visitors came to check on him or ask about his well-being.

His injuries were healed by Anabelle as his mother said but for assurance, a high priest was called to check on him when Seth was in deep slumber.

It was a sight to see when the priest was almost begging the Duchess to know the candidate who healed Seth so impeccably. By every means, such a person was a candidate to become a devotee of the church.

But Valarie had her own plans with Anabelle for which she couldn't let the white-robed leeches get their hands on her.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Only those bones which were completely shattered or some major wounds were aided but needed to be healed naturally as well with time. And there was Seth's mental fatigue as well.

During the meeting hours, his so-called siblings also arrived to ask about his condition but Seth was more panicked in their presence while keeping a calm facade.

He knew their intent just by looking into their eyes. Not to talk about the mentioning of their true nature in the novel he read.

Fortunately, his mother vacated the room soon since she sensed Seth's uneasiness in so many presences.

"Did you hear anything about Serena?"

With his back resting on the headboard of the bed Seth asked in a serene tone as he saw Lara gently cleaning his toes with warm wet clothing.

"She was treated and Your Grace herself took the responsibility for her treatment and safe return to her homeland."

Seth was relieved upon hearing the news since Serena was badly injured in the onslaught they faced.

He was afraid that Serena might have lost her life in such a collision or because of core corruption but Valarie briefly informed him that the girl was alive and safe.

But what bothered Seth was Lara's tone which seemed a little heavier than her usual voice and soon he realized that she hadn't made eye contact with him at all ever since.

"Lara."

Her hand came to a pause as without lifting her face she responded.

With his left thumb caressing the back of her ear he traced her tongue with his and felt the occasional jolts and slightly muffled moans which made the kiss even more exhilarating.

"Oh, my~Should have I knocked?"

Lara shot her eyes open before she immediately pulled back herself and stood up in utter shame since she already recognized whose this voice belonged.

Seth side glanced at his mother in annoyance since he already sent a mental signal when he sensed his mother approaching.

But this woman...

"I-I... "

"Lara. Go bring me coffee."

Hearing the command, Lara instantly bowed and took her to leave since this was nothing less than a blessing to not be in that room at that moment.

Lara was way beyond embarrassed!

"I think I conveyed to not come in my room."

Hearing her son grumble Valarie laughed lightly which was mesmerizing enough to make Seth raise his brow. But thanks to original Seth's memory, he was able to accept the lady as her mother to think anything otherwise.

Valarie took the chair near the study as she confessed the reason for her intrusion.

"I thought I might witness how my lovely son has grown but unfortunately I got to see just the first stage."

Seth ignored the comment since he knew what kind of weird parent she is. Rather he chose to ask something more concerning on the matter.

"What about the students, mother?"

With a thin smile curving her red lips, Valarie overlapped her leg over the other before she responded.

"Everyone is under my watch~."
