Chapter 30

“What?” Daran seemed perplexed, “she got these when she was a little girl?”

“Seems like so.”

Daran dropped down into his seat by the bedside and dismissed the doctor from the

room.

He stared at Janet’s closed eyes, deep in his thoughts.

She got these a long time ago?

But when?

When they were married, Daran never paid any attention to the marks and wounds on her body.

The only thing he knew about Janet was that she was a spoiled daughter in the Diaz’s family. Harper complained many times about how rude and unreasonable her sister

was.

So how would Mr. and Mrs. Diaz let their beloved daughter freeze in the snow?

Now that he thought about it…Harper had some frostbites on her feet as well. But those came from the time Harper rescued him in the forest.

So where did Janet get hers?

Before he realized it, Daran had already taken a hand to gently stroke down Janet’s long hair.

… How many secrets had you been keeping from me, Janet?

Because Janet and her soldiers were injured, the training was postponed for a few days.

Luckily Janet didn’t stay unconscious for too long. She woke up on the second day, just as the doctor had said.

When she gradually opened her eyes, she found a man sitting by her bedside while going through some flies in his hands.

Janet had to blink a few times to make sure that it was Daran.

She didn’t expect him to be here at all.

When they were married, he didn’t come to visit her at all when she had a cold.

What was he doing here now?

Daran looked up at this time and his eyes lit up with joy instantly.

“You are awake.”

He abandoned his files at once and came to sit on her bed side, “How are you feeling?”

He reached out a hand to feel her temperature on the cheek, but she tilted her head to avoid his touch.

“I’m fine,” Janet said.

Daran’s hand froze in the air.

And he withdrew his hand slowly, “I’m glad to hear it.”
