Chapter 67

Dylan POV

It had been 6 days since the king left for Australia, and only just was I able to leave the hospital. I had been given explicit instructions to come back every couple of days for my burn treatments, but there wasn’t much else that could be done about my back, except no vigorous activity.

Was I still sore? Definitely. Was it manageable? Yes it was. My neck was very stiff from the lack of movement over the past week, but the palace had been so quiet without the king and so I really couldn’t complain. Id had one visit from the dowager queen, and a small berating from her for being ‘lazy‘, but overall it had been the most peaceful week I’ve had in months.
