Chapter 60 : A Moment of Relief
*Soren*
I lounged on the cot, propping my head up with my arm. Mila peeled my bandage off and I watched her movements as she unwrapped the bandage.
A small frown forced her lips down as she looked over the leg.
“Soren, it has been three days. Your wounds aren’t healing. Why is that?” Mila asked.
Eros had given me that putrid smelling poultice three days ago and the bleeding had stopped. The wounds hadn’t scabbed over or begun to heal. Mila was checking every day and whenever that little frown touched her lips, I knew what was on her mind.
Sighing, I shrugged and nudged her with my leg. “Maybe I’m just getting old.”
Mila rolled her eyes. “Stop making it sound like nothing. This isn’t nothing… aren’t you concerned at all?”
“Sure,” I said, shrugging again.
Mila narrowed her eyes at me. “Why do I not believe you?”
“Mila, my concern is about you running away again, especially while I’m sick,” I said, sighing.
I was surprised she’d stuck around as long as she had. Why hadn’t she run off yet? The question lingered in my mind. She’d always taken any moment when my guard was down to run off.
Instead, she stayed here with me and looked after me like a nursemaid.
“You… You’re not gonna take this seriously, are you?” she asked, shaking her head and glaring at me.
I chuckled and winked at her. She sounded almost concerned and I wanted to keep hearing that tone in her voice. The only way to do that was to keep teasing her.
“Would you prefer it if I cried about my wounds? There isn’t a whole lot else I can do,” I pointed out.
Mila stared at me blankly. She shook her head and scoffed.
I nudged her again with my leg, trying to get her to smile. It was fun teasing her and seeing how she would react. Sometimes, it seemed like she wasn’t prepared for my teasing, even though she should have been. I had done it enough by this point.
She seemed determined to stick with me until she was certain I was fully healed. I wouldn’t deny that I liked her playing nurse for me and I was happy to have a reason for her not to run off on her own again.
Whenever her eyes flickered with worry and a little frown touched her lips, my heart jumped.
I knew it wasn’t the most productive thought to have, but I hoped that it would take a while for my wounds to heal so that she’d keep looking after me. Perhaps, she might develop enough softness to stop running from me.
If nothing else, I could enjoy her “special treatment” a bit longer.
“You’re a piece of work,” she muttered, rolling her eyes. She put a fresh bandage on my leg, even though it wasn’t bleeding anymore.
Since the wounds were still open, it made sense to keep them covered so bacteria couldn’t get inside.
“You need more rest. Stop teasing and playing and focus on getting better,” she chastised.
Mila tossed her hair over her shoulder and left the tent.
