Chapter 161

161 The promise … Lyla When I arrived at my room , the warm scent of lavender greeted me .

Nanny was there , smoothing the wrinkles from my bedspread .

The windows and curtains were open to let in light.

and a cool breeze .

The entire room looked sparkling and brand new .

She looked up as I entered , her face lighting up with a smile .

Done with training already ? she asked surprisingly gently .

I blinked .

I expected her to scold me for going to train barely hours after recovering .

Yes , I nodded , staring at her cautiously .

Good ! she nodded and returned to her task , humming softly to herself .

I stood there for a few minutes , hoping she would snap at me , but she didnt .

She must have noticed I was still there because she looked up again .

Youre at that age when you shouldnt be bending so much .

Thats a wonderful way to say thank you , she murmured without looking at me .

I raised you well .

Thats not what I mean , Nan , I sighed .

I feel so bad that youre cleaning my room .

I can do that .

* Ive always cleaned your room whenever you recover from an illness and back when we still lived together .

Its something I enjoy doing taking care of you ! Im 23.

You dont have to do that anymore .

Why ? she paused , straightening .

Because youre still the messiest 23 year old I know .
