Chapter 424 A Graceful Exit

At first, Alisa was skeptical when I mentioned I had come to peace with everything, but seeing my calm demeanor, she had no choice but to accept it. Julian said Jack had brought back a special medication from abroad, which was why I had regained consciousness. At

I could meet my end at any moment, but thankfully, I had a great group of friends looking out for me. None of them directly mentioned my health condition, but I could piece it together. At least for now, I was stable enough to stay alive.

I insisted on not having anyone keep watch over me except for Nina, who helped take care of me each day. The weather was good when Nina suggested taking me for a stroll. She said, "You're already pale to begin with. Not seeing the sun will make you look even worse. I bought you a lovely scarf. A lot of ladies are wearing similar designs nowadays."

Knowing I wasn't keen on wigs, Nina had picked up various headscarves just for me. But little did she know wearing one would only draw more attention to my appearance. Anyone would be able to tell I was ill.
