Mineah almost fell on her knees the moment they arrived inside their tent in the encampment. If it wasn't for Nikolai who quickly held and supported her with his arms, she probably would've collapsed right then and there.
"Are you alright, Mine?" Nikolai asked as he quickly carried and gently put her on their bed.
"Yes, just a bit exhausted," Mineah reassured him with a faint smile. "Also, can you please get my Mother? She's probably still worried."
"Right, I'll go get Mother," Nikolai nodded.
"Thank you so much, Lai," Mineah murmured, filled with love as she gently squeezed Nikolai's hand. He had furrowed forehead, looking perplexed as he hesitantly got up.
"I'll get Mother now," he informed her before walking out of the tent.
Mineah followed her husband's trail, all the while, her mind was already running with how much she had in her thoughts. Keeping secrets from her husband was starting to weigh heavy on her mind as the days passed by.
