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.

I blinked .

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

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 .

Why ? she paused , straightening .

Because youre still the messiest 23 year old I know .
