Chapter 19

Lyra's face becomes hotter and more colored. She didn't understand why she was the only one being affected by his words while Dylan remained calm and kept his composure. Thinking that, her eyes fell upon his ears which were turning red. She realizes that either he feels cold, warm, or has a fever. Or he was trying hard not to lose his composure in front of her and did feel the weight of his words.

She moves a few steps back as she mumbles,

"Why are you.."

Before she could say more, Dylan abruptly adds,

"Be careful."

As one of his hands grabs her by the waist to pull her closer and away from the spiky vines while his other hand grabs the vines directly to pull them away so they won't scratch her face.

Blinking, Lyra tries to grasp what just happened when she observed Dylan's hand slightly bleeding.

"Oh no!"

Worried, Lyra seizes his other hand and hauls him to one of the seating areas inside. This place was on the inner balcony that looked over the main hallway inside the building while on the other side, it was exposed to the outside through huge ceiling-high windows. There was a single sofa slightly curved at the edges. Like the rest of the place, this too was surrounded by flowers.

She motions Dylan to sit while she goes to retrieve the medical box.

After bringing it, she sits next to him as she rummages through the old box. Dylan remarks,

"It's fine. It's merely small scratches. On another note, you should have those thorns removed. I don't want them to injure you."
