Chapter 282

In an instant, Nyx’s emotions were indescribably complex.

She had told him to abandon her and stay away, yet he had stayed by her side all along.

Around them, various small animals watched the situation while gossiping.

“She seems like she’s about to die.”

“Better stay away from her.”

In the pitch–black night, the golden–haired lion ran through the rain without stopping, holding a bunch of wild herbs and flowers in his mouth, exhausted but determined as he returned.

Looking at those plants, Nyx was amazed. She hadn’t expected him to actually find herbs to treat her illness.
