The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

Chapter 327

“Anthony, how are you feeling today? Are you doing alright?” asked Sophie, who came to see Anthony again,

She sat by his bedside, her voice soft and full of concern as she asked, worry etched on her face.

On the bed, Anthony’s face was pale, and his energy was drained. But when he saw Sophir, he managed to pull out a faint smile. “I feel a little better than yesterday. If it weren’t for your medicine, Sophie, I’m afraid I would have been dead by now.”

Sophie lowered her head, guilt washing over her face.

Anthony shook his head slightly, unwilling to let her blame herself. “No, it’s not your fault. In fact, I owe my life to your medicine. Just being alive is already a blessing.

He forced another smile, though it barely masked the turmoil inside.

He had no feeling in his legs, as if they weren’t even part of his body.
