After returning to the City Lord's Manor, Nina went directly to the room Setan had been using and resumed treating his injuries.
Setan had originally wanted her to rest first.
She had rushed all the way back to Blazing Flame City to save him and had barely stopped moving since.
But Nina had examined his condition herself. His injuries were still serious, and she wasn't comfortable leaving them unattended.
Setan knew better than to argue.
In the end, he could only let her have her way.
The treatment continued for quite some time.
As the afternoon slowly faded and dusk approached, Setan glanced toward the darkening sky outside the window.
A pang of guilt tugged at his chest.
Nina had traveled tirelessly to rescue him. Since arriving, she had devoted all her energy to healing him without taking even a proper break.
He couldn't bear it anymore.
Reaching out, he gently covered her hand with his own.
"Nina." His voice was soft. "I'm feeling much better now."
