Chapter 74: Safe

Athena jerked, or rather tried to jerk away from the bad dream she was entrapped in.

He was checking her drip, probably gauging how long it would take for the liquefied treatment to be over.

"A day and half."

Athena wasn’t surprised. Her body needed thorough rest after the hell it had been subjected to.

"Ten." She muttered.
