They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 632

Chapter 632: Typical

The plea hit him harder than he expected. Against his nature, Arthur froze, jaw tightening as her words anchored him in place.

Then, almost instinctively, he pulled her trembling body into his arms, hoping the press of her warmth against him would steady his own pulse and somehow ease the torment tearing through her.

Minutes crawled by. Five... ten... until finally, the blinding glow began to soften. With it, the searing pain lacing through her body dulled to something bearable.

Arthur’s eyes snapped open the moment the brightness dimmed to safe levels. He quickly but gently pushed her backwards to have a good look at her, vision adjusting.

And then, he froze.

Nnenna was staring back at him weirdly, sweat dripping down her face but her gaze steady.

"What—" he began, confusion rough in his throat.

"Stay back." she cut him off when she recovered from the awkward moment, pushing herself backward, her hand shooting out in warning.

Arthur halted mid step, eyes narrowing, but what he saw next shattered his composure.

Her feet moved.

One step. Then another.

Her hands gripped the chair handles as her trembling body rose.

Arthur’s heart slammed against his ribs. "Y-you’re... standing," he whispered, voice cracking with disbelief. "That’s impossible..."

But even as the words left him, another voice deep inside reminded him, impossibilities had never stopped Nnenna before.

Nnenna smiled faintly to herself, then lifted her head. Her eyes shifted past Arthur, toward the figure frozen at the doorway.

"Are you just going to stand there," she said, voice teasing despite the sweat on her forehead, "or are you going to help me with my rehab, doctor?"

Arthur spun around sharply. Carl stood there, shock written plain on his face, mirroring his own disbelief.

For a few seconds, Carl didn’t move, as if his brain had short circuited. Then instinct took over. His hands trembled only once before he dropped the shopping bag he had been carrying. It hit the collapsed iron door with a loud clang.
