He showered her with so much care and attention that no one would be able to see through his actions and sense the evil motive that laid at the center of it.
Her reception of her father's care was cold, and some of the physicians that had come to take care of her, silently judged her got being spoilt, ungrateful and rude.
Zeppus apologized profusely for the incident but she needed no apology from him, but from that nosy warrior that had saved her.
Everyone left but her father.

It was getting harder and harder to breath. Her heart was racing and fear claimed her chest as its abode.
