The comforting sense of relief had eased the emotional burden Alice was carrying. After sleeping for over 4 hours, she slowly opened her eyes.
It felt so good to hug the pillow while she recovered, but why was the pillow so tall? And why was it warm?
Alice opened her eyes and looked at the tall pillow, but it wasn't a pillow, it was Zhen sleeping right next to her, and Alice was hugging the elf while she slept.
Alice's face flushed with embarrassment and backed slowly. 'It's a good thing it was just the two of us, no one saw us.'
"Since it was just the two of you, you were bold enough to hug him and sleep together?" asked Elsi who was sitting on the chair right next to Alice's bed.
"M... Mom... What are you doing here?" Alice was startled and immediately pulled up her blanket to cover her embarrassed face.
"What do you mean, this is mom's house too," Elsi replied kindly.
"Since when have you been watching?"
