Chapter 1869

Karina, her eyes heavy with fatigue, glanced at the soft blanket. "Where did this come from?"

The blanket was incredibly soft, wrapping around her in a comforting, cozy warmth.

Wilfred smiled faintly. "I asked for one earlier. Don't worry about it just sleep."

Something about his soothing tone made it impossible to resist. As her eyelids grew heavier, she drifted off without another word.
