Arion was a bit surprised that she was still waiting outside. He quickly put on some pants and a shirt before saying, "Yes. I am *cough* ready."
'Phew, that was close!'
Arion also didn't know why he was feeling nervous, as if he was seeing Mei for the first time. But other than that, he was now feeling extremely confident of himself. It was as if he was literally reborn into a different person.
The door opened, and he saw Mei coming in with a happy smile while looking at him keenly.
She was feeling relieved and happy again that Arion was alive and well. In fact, he was more than well now that he was able to walk and became strong enough to stand on his own feet.
"Ari...you…" Mei didn't know what to say as she slowly approached Arion and had to raise her head slightly to look up to him.
