Sir Ares, Goodnight

Jay carried Rose back to the Fragrant Vessel Court where the family doctor quickly arrived with his medicinal case. After a quick check-up, he concluded, "Miss Rose has what's called nutritional-deficiency anemia."

Jay frowned as he stared at the check-up report filled densely with arrows.

After the doctor left, Jay sat blankly by the bed.

His heart clenched as his eyes traced over Rose's hollowed cheeks.

What life had she been living for the past seven years?

Under her care, their children had grown healthily while she herself was a mess.

Perhaps it was time for him to take extraordinary measures.

After having awoken, Rose was met with the sight of Jay's thoroughly striking features staring back at herself depressingly.

Having gotten used to his dignified expression, Rose could not help the itching feeling that something was wrong. Fearfully, she grabbed Jay's hand. "Sir Ares, am I going to die?"

Amusement flashed in his eyes.

"Any last words?" he asked calmly.
