Anna bit her lower lip. The feeling is unsettled. Her mind always drifted remembering the dangerous words that came out of Axel's mouth this morning.
'Maybe I'll fuck you.'
Anna shook her head roughly.
Not! Axel must be joking, right? Axel couldn't possibly be serious with his words.
Anna kept reassuring herself that Axel must not be serious with his words. But in fact Anna continued to feel restless and more and more restless. Anna couldn't calm down.
The look in Axel's eyes when he said those words was too impossible to be considered a joke. Eyes filled with a haze of desire couldn't be said to be unserious.
"Damn!" Anna screamed in her heart.
"What should I do? Axel isn't that crazy, is he?" Anna kept nagging in her heart. Until he realized that someone was watching him.
"Anna, you look paler than yesterday, are you feeling any worse?" Edward asked approaching.
Anna flinched in surprise. Anna blinked, trying to gather her senses.
Suddenly Anna felt a sharp pain in her left arm. Oh my gosh! Even Anna ignored the pain she was in when she thought about Axel. This is really crazy. It was only after Edward's rebuke that Anna realized that her arm was in great pain, more painful than before. I don't know what happened to his arm.
"Anna, tell me, how are you feeling?" Edward asked again. He started to panic. He moved his hand to check Anna's temperature.
Check.
Someone opened the door to Anna's room from outside. It was Axel who had just returned to buy breakfast.
"What is it?" Axel immediately ran to Anna and Edward as soon as he realized the panicked look on Edward's face.
"Her temperature is too high, Ax. She has a high fever." Edward said quickly. And as quickly as that, Axel also checked Anna's temperature. And it's true what Edward said, Anna had a high fever.
"I feel bad, Ed. I'm cold." Anna complained to Edward .
Edward quickly pulled the thick blanket to cover Anna's body to keep her warm.
"It's warmer already?"
Anna nodded weakly. "A little."
"I'll call the doctor." Axel said act quickly. Not much to say but he immediately took action. Axel went out to call the doctor.
***
"How are things, Doc?" Edward asked impatiently. Now Anna has fallen asleep after being given medicine to reduce the cold temperature in her body.
In this condition Anna must not be cold, otherwise the wound will be even more painful and hot at the same time. So really have to keep Anna's body temperature warm.
"Nothing serious. Miss Grace's strength is very good, she is not easily attacked by the poison. It's also thanks to Nina Grace's cleverness that removes the poisoned bullet as quickly as possible from her body so that Noina Grace is saved." Obviously Doctor.
"Thank goodness he's okay."
"Her body's response is to protect her body well. For the time being don't let Miss Grace get cold so she won't suffer." added the doctor.
"Okay, Doc. Thank you."
"Oh yes, one more . The stress of the mind makes things much worse, so please don't let Miss Grace think too much."
"Okay, Doctor."
Then the doctor left Anna's room.
After the Doctor gone, Axel and Edward both looked at Anna with their own thoughts.
"Have I depressed Anna because of my crush with Alice? If so then I will apologize to Alice, for Anna's sake. I'm willing to drop my face for Anna." Edward said to himself. He feels very guilty if it turns out that Anna is depressed because of her stupid actions.
On the other hand, Axel is also blaming himself.
"Is it because of me, Anna? Am I too much of a burden to you? Anna, tell me what you ask for and I will grant it. If you really want me to forgive Alice, if that will make you any better then I am willing to drop my pride, I promise to apologize to Alice, Anna. But please wake up. And if you ask me to open my heart to Alice, I won't turn it down again. You should be fine, Anna."

Anna opened her eyes when the door to her room was opened. Two men who are faithfully guarding Anna, they turned towards the door, wanting to know who had come.
"Alice." Anna whispered.
Instantly Axel and Edward turned to Anna who they thought was sleeping.
"Are you awake, Anna?" Edward asked.
Anna nodded. "Yes."
"I'm glad you came, Alice." Anna said to Alice who was walking closer to her.
Alice then hugged Anna.
"Are you feeling better?" Alice asked showing her concern.
"Yeah, I'm getting better."
"I came here because I have something to say." said Alice.
"By chance you came, I wanted to tell you something." Edward added.
"Yeah, I also want to say something." Axel concluded.
Anna looked at Alice, Axel and Edward alternately.
"You guys, what do you want to say?" Anna asked curiously.
"I am sorry." Axel, Alice and Edward said in unison.
Anna was surprised to hear that.
"I… did I hear wrong?" Anna really didn't expect those two words to come out of their mouths.
"No, Anna. I really want to apologize to this friend of yours. I know she must be so worried about you that she didn't think twice about scolding me. But I'm quite grateful that she might become your best friend in the future. appreciate your friend." Edward said.
"You can hate me if you think I've insulted you. But really, I don't like anyone who knows a lot about the three of us. However, I need to apologize for kicking me out last night." Axel said. It was true that he apologized, but he still didn't give up his principles just like that. Hopefully Alice understands what Axel means.
Alice shook her head.
"You're right, Axel. I know all about you guys and really get along with Anna. But I don't mean to be a sycophant. I'm just too happy to have a friend like Anna. I'm so happy that I won't let anyone hurt her. I'm sorry for being too presumptuous of meddling in your affairs."
"And I'm sorry that I berated you so badly, and also looked down on you. I'm sorry, Ed."
Anna smiled to find a sweet moment like this. Finally it's all over. Anna was very proud of the maturity of the three.
"Thank goodness. I'm relieved that you guys have a high level of consciousness. I'm relieved that this misunderstanding is cleared."
"It's all for you, Anna." Edward said to himself.
"I'm doing this for nothing but you, Anna." Axel thought to himself.
"You should get better soon. I'll take you for sweets." Alice whispered.
"No. I don't want to be fat." Reply to Anna.
Then everyone laughed.
***
"Let's go to lunch, Alice." Invite Axel suddenly.
Alice was dumbfounded, Anna also showed the same expression.
Why did Axel suddenly change drastically? Maybe Axel really wants to prove Anna's words.
Seriously! That means Anna's time is running out.
"You're asking me, Axel?" Alice asked for sure.
"Who else is Alice here anyway?"
"Just me. But wait, you're not going to leave me and just dump me, are you?" Alice asked suspecting Axel's good intentions.
"Don't think too much. I'm not an irresponsible man anyway." Axel replied flatly.
Alice blushed, her cheeks already red hot.
"Hurry up and say yes before he loses his mind." Anna coaxed while raising one eyebrow.
"Okay, come on." Alice said excitedly.
Anna giggled from where she was sitting.
"Good luck." Anna whispered to Alice. Alice gave a thumbs up in response.
Then Alice walked after Axel who had come out first. Axel's attitude is not sweet at all.
"Would you like to have lunch outside too, Anna? I can ask the doctor for permission."
Anna shook her head. "Please just buy lunch outside and bring it here. We'll just have lunch here."
"Fine if that's what you want."
