Adeline could not believe her eyes and ears! She kept on staring at Theodore trying to figure out if he was just joking or not. If he was joking, then this was the worst time to be doing so.
She was already starting to feel a little light-headed because of the extreme blood loss. She was drenched in her blood and sweat. And she was definitely not in the mood to play.
She took a step closer to Theodore and tugged his sleeve. And she whispered to him in a voice full of pain, "Theo! This is not the time to be joking around. My wounds are getting worse, please… I have to get back to my Palace before the test starts. Please take me back."
Theodore rolled his eyes and pushed away Adeline's grip from his sleeve. And he spoke in an agitated tone, "And there she goes again, ordering me around like she is my master. Ugh! I hate this woman so much. Always sticking to me like a leech."
